Hey – its Jason Wallace with the lyrics and lattes podcast where we use hip-hop lyrics to inspire you.  Today’s mini-episode is inspired by King Los - Happy Birthday bro. 

No villain is stopping this one
That'd be a dark night, won't it?
While overlooking my city, had a Dark Knight moment
I'm overlooking my city, same city that overlooked me
Now it's back to back tours, cause cities just overbook me

Listen, being overlooked has nothing to do with you, your talents, or your abilities. Sometimes, people’s perception of what you’re capable of, is less about you and more about their inability to spot potential. Don’t let somebody’s “you can’t” make you bitter or worse, doubt yourself. Your time is coming - let that criticism push you to greatness. So get uncomfortable, …Learn… Adapt.. and level up. And don’t forget… "Never give up, Never Surrender" - DJ Khaled   “never give up never surrender”... and we out

As a matter of fact, its perfectly human. Being able to identify what is draining your energy is the trick. Maybe you're tired, maybe you're hungry, maybe you're stressed, maybe even you're suffering from depression/anxiety. Being able to pinpoint the "why" is your first step in your everyday battle.

Hi, This is Jason Wallace with the Lyrics & Lattes podcast, where we use hip hop lyrics to inspire you. It’s our 30th episode so I’m pulling in Jayz’s 30 Something to talk about it gets “better with time.” 

Everybody's an expert nowadays…. I just met a 16yr old life coach. Look, It’s time to normalize being a beginner and having 0 followers… and 30 episodes in I can say the best time to start is when you realize there is no best time to start ….“but I’ll look stupid” Start…. “but I don’t like my voice” start….”I just need to move outta my momma house” STAAART! Action is the only thing that separates the dreamers from the doers and perfection will keep you broke. Stop pretending to be an expert and be comfortable learning, failing, and growing as a novice

Episode Summary

In this mini-episode, Trevor pulls from the philosopher Tobe Nwigwe on his song Juice. The basic premise is to trust your instincts. If a situation doesn't rub you well...leave. If everything in your gut has you feeling froggy... it's probably time to leap. 9 times out of 10 that gut feeling is usually right.

"Cause I believe in you. Take a second realize we can make it if you, Don't stop. Come on boy we about to take it to the top. I know you're gonna love what you're about to see. Do you believe in me?"

Gifts are nice and all but having someone by your side who truly believes in YOU and supports your dreams is priceless. This Valentine’s Day, give the gift of support. That means finding ways to encourage your partner on their aspirations - maybe that’s helping to jump start that idea or reminding them of their strengths. I'm telling you- a simple "I believe in you" can go a long way. 

Shouts out to LaToiya Williams and be sure to pick up her latest album, Blue Rose, see you on the next one.
