Rap-ology: The Wisdom from The Wayne

Who would have thought that the inspiration to my next post would come from a scrawny tattoo infested commercial rapper, Lil Wayne, from the song he is featured on with the upcoming new artist: Drake, called, “Forever”. The song itself, despite its vulgar allusions and metaphors, actually tinges on truth of how each person should be in total and absolute control of their life, and don’t let any “hater” “bitch” or “low life asshole” put them down. Without digressing too much, and getting too involved with the meaning behind the song, because I doubt commercial music is meant to be saturated with life lessons and philosophies, here is the verse of the song that really got me hooked on this rather catchy song:

“Life is such a fucking rollercoaster, but what should I scream for, this is MY THEME PARK”

How many times in your life have you heard the phrase “Life is such a rollercoaster ride, so many ups and downs” it’s said so much it’s probably already coined as a cliché. Nonetheless, he is right, why in God’s name would we keep calling life a rollercoaster ride, when we own the fucking theme park?! We pick how many loops, turns, drops, falls, splashes, there is going to be on each ride, we are the ones who make it a rollercoaster ride, it’s not life, it is US!
