I was just listening to J Cole's new album "Forest Hills Dr" -
his song,
"love yours"
has such a beautiful message
about appreciation/
not comparing ones life 2 others:
"[Hook]
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing, no such thing
For what's money without happiness?
Or hard times without the people you love
Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next
I asked for strength from the Lord up above
Cause I've been strong so far
But I can feel my grip loosening
Quick, do something before you lose it for good
Get it back and use it for good
And touch the people how you did like before
I'm tired of living with demons cause they always inviting more
Think being broke was better
Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect
To all my dudes out there living in debt
Cashing minimal checks
Turn on the TV see ah Rolex
And fantasize about a life with no stress
I mean this shit sincerely
And as a dude who was once in your shoes
Living with nothin' to lose
I hope one day you hear me
Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but my dude feel me
Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly
Always gon' be a whip that's better than the the one you got
Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the ones you rock
Always gon' be a female that's badder out there on the tours
But you ain't never gon' be happy till you love yours"
- #jCole, love yourz 2014
