One of my favorite hip hop albums is this artist’s Mirror Music. This song is about how life can get overwhelming sometimes. The world is full of problems we don’t have solutions to, and the weight of it all, especially when the problems are taken into account all at once, can discourage and exhaust you in inaction. The lazy beat makes me feel like it’s a sluggish, demotivatingly hot day, and instills a sensation of lassitude reflective of the song’s defeatist tone in the face of the daunting task of addressing all the problems. It’s tiring to even think about, so people tend to sit back and accept them, waiting for someone else to answer the question of what to do, so long as no solutions readily present themselves. They find it easier to make excuses for their inaction or shy away from their issues.
