Is expressing desire the same as repressing it? 

Embracing the desire is opposite of repressing it, expressing... doesn't seem like it would be repressing but the problem is take for example, sing a song about love or whatever, it's not the same as experiencing what you want to experience, writing out what you want doesn't satisfy real desire, it can seem that way sometimes because it gives you a better look at something you don't actually want, but just Journaling or whatever about your desires is not fully expressing them.

Who says I just write or sing about it?  Do you know about my life? Singing, writing, art, is a way of embracing desire.  Why says it stops there for me?

This would be a great discussion in another thread imo. I like the original vibe of this thread (appreciating & sharing), and these kinds of discussions while clarifying take away from the overall point of this specific thread. 

Yeah, idk why he chose to get into this here, I just shared a song I made.

Death comes sweeping through the hallway, like a lady's dress
Death comes driving down the highway, in its Sunday best

 

A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away

 

Swept to ruin off my wavelength, swallowed her up
Like the ocean in a fire, so thick and gray

 

A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my baby away

 

Death comes driving, I can't do nothing
Death goes


There must be something, there must be something that remains
There must be something
There must be something

 

A fire of unknown origin took my baby away
A fire of unknown origin took my Baby away

 

Ten thousand tears,

One Belly Laugh.

I gotta do what I gotta do (uh)
So who the hell is you
To tell me how my song is wrong
You don't know
Layout & let the drummer go
You think my rap's about stealin'
But it's about feelin'
Sometimes drug dealin'
But few know how my flow
Don't get the proper review
I gotta do what I gotta do

 

Do whatcha gotta do first
Ooh
Here go da verse
I gotta do what I do best (uh)
Kick da Nitti & Ness
The danger zone
They better leave me alone
I got posse
Lus the feds had better watch me
I picked a bone wit' Arizona
Droppin' kickin' a mission
Wit' no permission
I let 'em know why I did what I did


I got dialogue
Got 'em to even sing along
& got the semiautomatic
Tongue to da young
When there's static
They come & try to get some
They had the nerve to call the president
An' I wasn't hesitant
To scream I was a resident

So-called power of the people
Lookin' for the truth
Like guessin' my vest was never bulletproof


I'm edgin' close to the line
& it's fine time to know
Why the hell & da f---
I try to battle so
Much to touch never feedin'
A crutch to lean on me
Excuses is weak
That's why my look is mean


I’m on a level To the devils 'bout God
Another reason why it's comin' hard
My intellect doin' wreckin' effect
'Till it's through
Gotta do what I gotta do

 

I Gotta do what dey don't like
'Cause I got a mike
The more I push
& the more you learn
& dey burn, you get another turn
To take the helm recreate
The realm of leaders
Not to say you never need us
But in da mirror
You can do it, it's so easy to start
Yeah baby you can see it on
A flow chart


And just in case
They ever get me in da middle
Of things before I go
You know I'm gonna take a swang
Until dey give what dey never
Gave I refuse to be
A slave I hijacked
The airwaves
Let ya know the dirt
Swept under the rug
Give the brothers a pound
My sisters a lil' bigger hugs
My rat a tat comin' right
& exact 'cause it's true

I gotta do what I gotta do

 

Ten thousand tears,

One Belly Laugh.

Follow me into a solo get in the flow
And you can picture like a photo
Music mixed mellow maintains to make
Melodies for MC's motivates the breaks

I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days
With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays
I can take a phrase that's rarely heard
FLIP IT - now it's a daily word

 

I can get iller than 'Nam, a killin bomb
But no alarm - Rakim will remain calm
Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
But for a microphone still I fiend

This was a tape I wasn't supposed to break
I was supposed to wait, but let's motivate
I want to see who can keep followin and swallowin
Takin the making, bitin it and borrowin

 

Brothers tried and others died to get the formula
But I'ma let ya sweat - you still ain't warm
You a step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin
Dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen

So follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first?
Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the Universe
What could ya say as the Earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay

Astray into the Milky Way - world's outasight
Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took

So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
You better follow it cause it's the R
This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The Leader

 

This is a lifetime mission, vision of prison
Aight listen
In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist
Am I Eternal? Or an eternalist?

I'm about to flow long as I can possibly go
Keep ya movin cause the crowd said so
Dance - cuts rip ya pants
Eric B on the blades, bleedin to death - call the ambulance

Pull out my weapon and start to squeeze
A magnum as a microphone murderin' MC's
Let's quote a rhyme from a record I wrote
(Follow the leader) Yeah - dope

Cause everytime I stop it seems ya stuck
Soon as ya try to step off ya self-destruct
I came to overcome before I'm gone
By showin and provin and lettin knowledge be born

Then after that I'll live forever - you disagree?
You say never? Then follow me
From century to century you'll remember me
In history - not a mystery or a memory

God by nature, mind raised in Asia
Since you was tricked, I have to raise ya
From the cradle to the grave
But remember - You're not a slave

 

Cause we was put here to be much more than that
But we couldn't see it because our mind was trapped
But I'm here to break away the chains, take away the pains
Remake the brains, reveal my name

I guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous
It can't be mixed, diluted; it can't be changed or switched
Here's a lesson if ya guessing and borrowing
Hurry hurry, step right up and keep following
The Leader

 

A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury
My third eye makes me shine like jewelry
You're just a rent-a-rapper, your rhymes are minute-maid
I'll be here when it fade to watch you flip like a renegade

I can't wait to break and eliminate
On every traitor or snake - so stay awake
And follow and follow, because the tempo's a trail
The stage is a cage, the mic is a third rail

 

I'm Rakim the Fiend of a Microphone
I'm not HIM, so leave my mic alone
Soon as the beat is felt, I'm ready to go
So fasten your seatbelt, cause I'm about to flow
No need to speed slow down to let the leader lead
Word to daddy, indeed

The R's a rollin stone, so I'm rollin
Directions is told, then the rhymes are stolen
Stop buggin', a brother said, dig em, I never dug 'em
He couldn't follow the leader long enough so I drug 'em

Into danger zone, he should arrange his own
Face it, it's basic, erase it, change ya tone
There's one R in the alphabet
It's a one-letter word and it's about to get
More complex from one rhyme to the next
Eric B be easy on the flex

I've been from state to state, followers tailgate
Keep comin but you came too late, but I'll wait
So back up, regroup, get a grip, come equipped
You're the next contestant - clap ya hands, you won a trip

The price is right - don't make a deal too soon
How many notes could you name this tune?
Follow the Leader is the title, theme, task
Now ya know, you don't have to ask
Rap is Rhythm And Poetry, cuts create sound effects
You might catch up if you follow the records E. wrecks
Until then keep eatin and swallowin
You better take a deep breath and keep followin
The leader
Follow the leader
Follow the Leader

 

Ten thousand tears,

One Belly Laugh.

Wanderer never go
Held you down, heavy snow
I saw light fall
Shimmering through my skin
I turned so blind
Just by tryin' to fit in

 

Felt it in my bones, hidden melodies
Why am I holding back? Help me please
Turnin into every rain
Drippin from the stars
Travelling bodies the same
Feeling every part

 

In my soul, harmonies
Into trails, into leaves
Reaching from the core
Whisper where to go
Frozen down
Turn is into heavy snow

 

Twisted fantasy, twisted real world
Where to lean? Help a girl

 

Turnin' into every rain
Drippin' from the stars
Travelling bodies the same
Feeling every part

 

Turnin' into every rain
Drippin' from the heart
Travelling bodies the same
Feeling every Part

 

Ten thousand tears,

One Belly Laugh.
