I've been heavy into hiphop since 1992 or so, and every now and then someone writes something that really hits me.. An album came out a few months back, it's called Below the Heavens by Blu and Exile (exile is the producer) love this verse, makes me feel inspired and reminds me why I love rap music, and all the times it helped me too

Song is called Dancing in the Rain

Check it
Sometimes I hate takin trips to the lab,
got my pen and pad, book of instrumentals and smash,
catch the bus regardless, tryin hard to be an artist
but my A&R be callin me out my zone into his office,
bein cautious, cuz he don't want my record to brake,
askin me how I think my project's progressin and shit,
I said cool. But the truth is, I'm stressin a grip,
cuz it's hard to make music when this depression exists
they say use it as inspiration - the best of 'em did
but I still see, I can't handle this pressure for shit
and if you ask me, stress is a bitch. My girl needs more attention
and my record label's desperate for hits
Now I'm pissed cuz I'm gettin out the zone again,
makes me start to dread when I see a microphone and shit
... it ain't supposed to be like that.. I said I'll be right back,
I left the office, got on the phone and called my partner Jack
and I asked him - remind me why I rap?
And right before he answered, I remembered my passion in the past,
when I was scribblin in my tablet, or to box out my mom and dad scrappin',
to help me when my grandmother passed,
plus the many times when I was homeless, and times when I was broke,
and this music made a way when I was hopeless
He told me to remember the rain, it'll diminish the pain,
then he told me not to ask anything - cuz I know...

Hits me too! I had motivation, passion, and drive and then BOOM to a life of staring into space. I'm starting to come back out of it though and am trying to find that spark had always kept me going before. It's never gone completely, you just gotta make sure you're living a life in a way you believe in and not become an ass puppet... pardon my french ;)

Awesome, wish you luck rrrred, it's never easy coming out of a slump, but if you didn't have lows, your highs would feel normal, and who wants that?

Depression medications try to "normalize" you, which is good I guess for some people, but not for me. I'll take my beatings when I'm down, so I can feel the highs too.
