I really like the song “The Way Life Goes” by Lil Uzi. It is a reminder that even though things can be tough, things will turn around and life will get better. He says “I know it hurts sometimes but you’ll get over it, you’ll find another life to live, I swear that you’ll get over it,” and Lil Uzi means that you’ll find new people, or a new hobby, or something new to do that will make up for the thing that you lost. Even when times are at their darkest, life will turn around and get better, you just have to stick with it and not give up hope. He then goes on to say “I know you’re sad and tired, you’ve got nothing left to give, you’ll find another life to live, I swear that you’ll get over it.” It’s a reminder to not ever give up, no matter how dark things get. There will always be someone there for you, no matter what. I went through some dark times during the first few months of my senior year, and I listened to this song literally every night to go to sleep because it made me feel like I wasn’t alone in what I was feeling, that other people were feeling the way I was too, and it gave me hope that my life would start to get better. I think that more artists should make songs like this to remind people that they aren’t alone. Most artists, especially rappers, only talk about money and women. I like the down to earth, chill songs that have a deeper meaning other than partying and getting money. Especially hearing inspiration from their favorite rappers, the people listening to it will be given a new hope that they can make it through whatever because they are not alone.
