- 1. “Common”- 16 Bars Freestyle
Lyricism is thought, style, and emotion. Lyricism is the soul. Lyricism is hip hop.

- 2. “Otherside”- The Roots
“Otherside” is a single chapter in the life of a young person trapped in the depths of the city. This story is all too common and all too known to those stuck in poverty. Listen to the whole album for the complete story.

- 3. “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”- Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill’s cover of Frankie Valli’s song speaks to every one of us wherever we may be in this journey of life. Love cannot be defined by one who hasn’t found love or lost it.

- 5. “Sittin’ On the Dock of The Bay”- Otis Redding
Moments happen and fade. Words are said and forgotten. People come and go. So tell us, Otis, what's it like to sit on the dock of the Bay, watching the tides roll away?
