Rapper Decipher dropped his own rhymes over Kanye West’s Devil in a New Dress. His remix “Smile While I Bleed” offers a self reflection on a rough life. Here’s more from Decipher about the track:

I titled the song “Smile While I Bleed” because even when I feel tortured I clench my teeth and put on a cool face. This track is to let you know sometimes I’m bleeding. This was a very personal song for me so I directed and edited the video myself. Yongie Phresh, JP Lee, and Kenni Phong helped with the camera work. The video was shot completely in Philadelphia, naturally.

My favorite part of the song may be the end of the track where one of my favorite artists Jason Min added electric guitar cries. I wanted to incorporate his talent because my pride won’t let me cry but I wanted that guitar to cry for me.This one was really for me, but let me know what you think.

Lyrics to Smile While I Bleed by Decipher

Lord, forgive me, I have sinned, and I will again
see the smoke rise, it’s spinning in the ceiling fan
it remind me of the way that I hate standing still
plan to build but the land I chill in quicksand, for real
Philly got this chilly feeling that really haunts us
even when we turn our back we feel it still inside us
some of us feel kill or be killed is still the mindset
now we all dead, pictures on window sills remind us
heard the good die young, thought it was really nonsense
but here I am, breathing with a guilty conscience
like what did they do? it should’ve been me
God put up a tree, any one of us would’ve been Eve
I visit my Mama grave and I sing to her over instruments
bring flowers, they beautiful but die, no coincidence
Daddy left, I never knew or saw him eye to eye
thought it’s what I had to do, so I would try to cry
sometimes I think it’s you that I see riding by
lying to myself, I had to Google how to tie a tie
that’s some shit that a man is supposed to teach a man
did it by myself, cried for help but couldn’t reach his hand
never learned Korean, I can’t even speak to fam
Johnnie Walker giving me the spirit when the preacher can’t
not that he can’t, but I don’t want to listen
Jesus comin back? What if I no longer miss him
heart turned cold from people walking out that door
now I got it locked, nobody walking in or out no more
it’s about to pour, I seen these kind of clouds before
made it out that storm, now I roll my windows down for more
I know the struggle, the hustle, ducking police, I do
talk in code on the phone so the cops would be confused
wonder when my life will change, it still hasn’t
14 karat gold, white tee, bumping Illmatic
my mother fucking main man a pill addict
popping Oxycontins to Suboxones and he still at it
miss you my brother, but I can only do so much
but keep it real, I still don’t trust the people you don’t trust
I look in the mirror, even I can tell I turned
into a stronger man, I guess that all the stress was well deserved
learned to live, love, laugh, and keep a L to burn
smile while I bleed, they could never tell it hurts.

SNRG dropped a chill track “ALBUTEROL”. The groups raps about the feeling of pressure when the four walls seem to close around you. It’s an internal reflection of doubt and beliefs when you face difficulty. When you face hardships, what do you really believe and who are your real friends ? Listen to the message from SNRG and breathe easy.

Lyrics to More by Hydroponikz

‘Cause every single thought that I give it
Turns into dreams and I think that I’ll live it
And as the world turns I don’t wanna turn with it
‘Cause I know I’m more than this. More than this
‘Cause every single day be the same ‘ol
And I know there’s many more miles I can go
Not gonna be just a regular day, no
It’s gotta be more than this. More than this

This is the story of the coffee shop waitress who
Says an order taker is something that she ain’t just
Or a baker, she wants to rip off the apron
Manager’s checks are fat but she still hates him
And she’s takin’ the orders, makin’ the orders
Customers at 9am, yeah she hates all them
Especially that man at the front of the line
She tells him “Can you please give me your order one at a time”
But of course he’s in a rush and says it all at once and
He yells at her loud when she forgets one of the muffins
Well F this, I’m not dealin’ with this anymore
Tears fallin’ to the floor, storms out of the door
At home, she pulls the guitar out from under the bed
She’s never took lessons, she’s teaching herself instead
And if that was the right choice, well it’s hard to say
The bright voice says “I’m gonna be a star someday”

‘Cause every single thought that I give it
Turns into dreams and I think that I’ll live it
And as the world turns I don’t wanna turn with it
‘Cause I know I’m more than this. More than this
‘Cause every single day be the same ‘ol
And I know there’s many more miles I can go
Not gonna be just a regular day, no
It’s gotta be more than this. More than this

This is the story of the production assistant who
Is on the set, but he feels he makes no difference
Because he is creative but ain’t nobody listenin’
Producer is a diva and her bitchin’ is persistent
Every morning he’s gotta go get her breakfast
‘Cause she don’t do the drive through, not with her Lexus, no
Start at the bottom, moving up someday
But he’s way too talented for an intern’s pay
He’s had it up to here, the last straw, he was beat and
She asked if him “Can you stay late and come in on the weekend?
“We can’t pay you extra, it isn’t in the budget”
He said “That’s because you spend it all on your lunches”
And quits. Now he turns his camera on
Wants to learn to make videos and write his own songs
And if that was the right choice, well it’s hard to say
The bright voice says “I’m gonna be a star someday”

‘Cause every single thought that I give it
Turns into dreams and I think that I’ll live it
And as the world turns I don’t wanna turn with it
‘Cause I know I’m more than this. More than this
‘Cause every single day be the same ‘ol
And I know there’s many more miles I can go
Not gonna be just a regular day, no
It’s gotta be more than this. More than this

I’m not the person that you think I am
A yo, I’m just gonna be, just gonna be me
I’m just tryin’ to do the best I can
A yo, I just wanna be, just wanna be free
I’m just a man I follow my own plan
I don’t give a god damn bout what you want me to be
So I’m a just do my thing and
Pray to god that I don’t lose my wings, I’m more than this

So, now our former coffee shop waitress, she
Is on the path and tryin’ hard to make it
No regret but she wonders if she’s mistaken
Ain’t a star yet, but she knows she gotta fake it
Pushin’ her demo cuts, it’s rough up in the business
But she likes it more than workin’ day and night for tips
So far, she’s glad she ain’t fillin’ no more cups
She’d never go back but dreams of makin’ star.. bucks
So, now our former production assistant,
Uploadin’ videos, views and hits are consistent
Hears her songs and is very impressed.
Suggests that they collaborate to demonstrate what they’ve been blessed with
Relentless world, this guy and girl
Are out to take it on together, yeah it’s now or never
‘Cause I know you got dreams of livin’ on top
He takes her hand and says “let’s give it a shot, lets go!”
