Found out a girl I dated a few years back past away. She was a heavy hip hop head and this track reminds me to always stay positive in times of darkness. I listen to this now for you Claudia R.I.P
Lord, help us understand that we cant make it going against eachother. I put my pride aside to say this prayer for my people. Love has left their hearts and darkness is the make up that they wear on their faces. Help us love one another more, becuz we really dont hate eachother, but it's the devil who's puttin in overtime. Forgive us Father in Jesus Name...Amen.
I still love this beat to this day. It has helped me get through some tough times. I even listen to it when I'm just cruising. I never get tired of it at all. One of my favorites.
I'm not an expert at all...just someone who loves and appreciates what she hears in good music. In addition to great beats...this young man seems to have an ear for the most beautiful MELODIES in his music..and he has such an appreciation for the music of my generation(the 70's)...as far as I'm concerned, he can sample the heck out of that era(Billy Paul, Minnie Riperton, etc.)..it's alright with me...he's just a BREATH OF FRESH AIR...PERIOD.
I'm 18 I KNOW the original came out two Decades before me but somehow....strangely it reminds me of the times I spent with my granddaddy when I Was 10, back when he used to live in Columbia, south carolina
this is one of those tunes u dont need to spit to just listen to the beat wit the top down if u can and chill or look at the sun rise over the horizon....
its wen the sun is in the sky that we must realize this eternal worldwide lament is breaking the human fam apart, the bliss for the supreme cause, i wont pause at all, i cant stop the rain but ill nourish ur brain, too much pain these emotions i cant sustain all for the better purpose not fame, a smile on a neglected child's face will fersure make my day, so as i go through my composition of pages i try to make way and grab my pen, my veins a pathway to the melancholy thoughts raging in my head
Yea the sun is in the sky, clear up my thougts, and stop wonderin why/ See i tried, but its hard knowin she aint no longer by my side/ I keep reminisin, but its worthless/ The memories almost make my cry, still, i dont wanna get caugth up in this/ Shit, why me, why her, why break up/ Finaly found the girl i loved, and she suddenly gives up?/ Damm there must be something behind this all/ See i dont give up after a straight fall/ But must admit this break up made me small../
I know this was already posted, but just to bump... Original sample: Mandrill - "I Refuse to Smile" Listen to the original. It will make you appreciate 9th's skills even more, and the Mandrill song is good in its own right... especially after you've heard the beat 100 times! This is why 9th is a genius.
I walk and contemplate seeing the children playin today is a good day in the streets damn it's a good feelin times are hard sometimes In truth, times are good also let's connect ourselves and live we need a change our future we need a revolution we need peace peace, peace, oh peace the sun rays positive waves it's radiant lights touch all corners Earth is a beautiful thing keep it green
Yo.. Sun still shinin takes me back to when I was young shorty wildin/ playin all day in the light gotta be home before light let me borrow ya bike/ A couple years after hoopin on LittleTykes tryin to be like Mike/ Now I work wit the Mic/ Bringin my memories back to life/ Too much pressure as an Adult/ Thats why I drive past the old house to go in the memory vault/ I sit there and reminisce to when times were simplest/ I know you feelin this
mercapri302, thanks for referencing the original sample. i'm a dude who likes that, i make whack beats but it's always just fun to cut up samples. i sometimes think of hip-hop as the recycle bin. instead of music going to the garbage, we bring it back to life.
You see I spit it with out cause or reason - without clause depletion it's just cause im teachin you what cards im squeezin, it's so hard im breathing thru thin bars, im leanin on a reason to just show them my cause, without reason..it's cause there's no meaning in life, just sole treason in sight, my soul demons, delight, my soul leaning on light..but see darkness thru whatever feelings that i spark stay unparked its true, thru the darkest hues my souls, seen the darkest hues..
This is for the youtube readers... Follow along eleven letters written now here comes 9th wonder to dapple along floating above every cloud cant even grasp it in a song/ the words I say stick with you like a kleenex tissue dismissing like a teacher but saying thy words like a preacher that even your own mother is eager sort of like living in the 50's waiting for another episode of "leave it to beaver" I'm saying leave her and once again go ahead and greet her =) 13 years old Bronx, NY
The sun is in my eyes So I guess I gotta wear shades And the ladies in the shade Always smile and wave Too bad sorrow always ruin such a beautiful day Momma crying cause her baby’s done passed away Damn its sad to say That he’s niggas know who did it But they’ll never tell Hell naw no way Only to leave another mother to weep On a day like this The sun is in my eyes So I guess I gotta wear shades Make them Rose colored To melt this uneasy mellowness Away
@gangstagrillz99 "I Refuse To Smile" by Mandrill. I believe it's on the "Mandrill Is" album. Bless your self and get that album and all their work, you won't regret it. Respect 9th for hooking the beat up and great taste in music.
@Addiskrilla Did you hear his 2nd childhood remix instrumental. my goodness, it gets me everytime. I am just struck with the beauty and soul of the song...

9th wonder is a genius with the samples....

One being myself..
Always did like cloudy days better than the sunny ones.

15 years..damn...
Damn.....Crazy ass beat dude...like damn...rocks head
This beat makes me want to have a cookout!
Mandrill- Refuse to smile
its wen the sun is in the sky that we must realize this eternal worldwide lament is breaking the human fam apart, the bliss for the supreme cause, i wont pause at all, i cant stop the rain but ill nourish ur brain, too much pain these emotions i cant sustain all for the better purpose not fame, a smile on a neglected child's face will fersure make my day, so as i go through my composition of pages i try to make way and grab my pen, my veins a pathway to the melancholy thoughts raging in my head
I remember that I would always find this song when I looked up 9th wonder beats on Limewire.
This shit is the truth
2024 on the check in
💯
freestyling to a beat like this is a beautiful thing
@rapsmackcrates: The original was sung by "Mandrill" and is called "I refused to smile". Lovely!
Yea the sun is in the sky, clear up my thougts, and stop wonderin why/
See i tried, but its hard knowin she aint no longer by my side/
I keep reminisin, but its worthless/
The memories almost make my cry, still, i dont wanna get caugth up in this/

Always smile and wave
Too bad sorrow always ruin such a beautiful day
Momma crying cause her baby’s done passed away
Damn its sad to say
That he’s niggas know who did it
But they’ll never tell
Hell naw no way
Only to leave another mother to weep

The sun is in my eyes
So I guess I gotta wear shades
Make them Rose colored
To melt this uneasy mellowness
Away
