A lyrical display from Fabolous and an interesting video.

Third installment in “The Funeral Arrangements” viral series to promote Fabolous’ mix-tape “There is No Competition 2: The Funeral Service”
Na Palm is an aspiring rapper representing the Chicago club scene. “Time To Rise” is my personal favorite of his tracks and comes from his mixtape “Dirty Girls Like Dirty Beats.” In his music and interviews Na Palm consistently credits his brother for pushing him to persevere and succeed when his future was nothing more than a vision. This track reminds me of my brother, who assisted and inspired me to continue pursuing my highest aspirations.
It started as a vision,
Just me and my brother,
We’re sitting in the kitchen,
Lookin at one another
Chasing dreams out this one bedroom apartment,
Grab my paper, got my pen, that’s how it got startedWriting lyrics from my spirit hope these people hear it,
It’s us against the world, and I’m gonna never fear it,
Say what I say cause I’m speaking what I’m feeling,
I spit it for the dreamers, I spit it for the children,
I spit 1,000 bars until I spit a million,
It’s coming from the heart, that’s why it’s so appealing
Exploding onto Chicago’s rap/hip-hop music scene is Napalm – born Craig Steven Palm. Napalm delivers unique flows while staying true to his background and lifestyle. This underground, grassroots rapper emerged from solely basement-freestyling at after-hour parties to mesmerizing mass crowds at the largest clubs in the city. Smashing the mold of a stereotypical, sheltered suburbanite, Napalm uses his lyrical talent and cleverly applied one-liners to create and captivate audiences of all ages and musical appetites. Initially enthralling the party scene in Chicago, Napalm is now seeking to broaden his horizons and lash out to the widespread public.
Start the weekend right by taking a journey back to hip-hop’s roots, the classic art of the freestyle. Many have touched the mic but few have left spectators in awe.
I never really liked you
Because I wanted you to be
More than you could be
For you..
For me..
Curtain calls & Wallstreet drives
The force that weighs us down
Sizing where I left you
Hit the line
Hit the ground
We PUSH and PULL and DRIVE and CHASE
Empty paper
Infected dreams
And’ll never know the name the game
The silence behind the scream
“Dress it up
So they don’t know”
It’s me I see in you
Discontented with the seams
Layers smothering the truth
In time..
Thoughts race,
These feelings laced
Some finish,
Some miss the signs
I left you there
A blank stare
And then began to cry..
“I could’ve said HI a hundred times”
“I should’ve said so much more”
To twist the name
This ‘powerless’ frame
And walked you through the right door
But who am I to play with hands
Too small to grasp the strings
And change the tune of Destiny’s sand
The song you’ll never sing
We PUSH and PULL and DRIVE and CHASE
Empty paper
Infected dreams
And’ll never know the name the game
The silence behind your scream
I never really liked you
Because I wanted you to be
More than you could be
For you..
Like me..
