Fun With Lyrics

Let's look at some lyrics today:

"They tried to make me go to rehab but i said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when i come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but i won't go go go

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh i just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend"

Last week Amy Winehouse, the artist who wrote those lyrics, went into rehab and ended up staying only 48 hours before leaving and getting a brain scan. How can you write a song like that, have it become a huge hit, and then start drinking hardcore again and go into rehab again. I'm not a wordsmith but I believe that makes you a hypocrite. Its very similar to my ex-wife writing a song about how much she loves her husband and would never leave him in the middle of the night on the anniversary, but then she does that. Also similar to Snow.man's song about not becoming a complete a@#-hole when he becomes a lawyer, and then he becomes a lawyer and becomes a complete a@#-hole.

maybe snow.man became a lawyer because he was a complete asshole to begin with. ever consider that genius? which came first - chicken/egg? btw my new record drops on 9/11 with 50 & 'Ye. If I don't outsell them I will retire.

'Ye is only the hottest rapper out there. Snow.man once did time with him down in the "Louie" and they agreed to do an album together.
