Analysis Of The Lox Ft. Lil Kim And DMX

How many of you remember this song from the 90 's? The Lox ft. Lil Kim and DMX. The beat is one of those beats that bought everybody to their feet in the club or one that banged out the speakers of a 1998 Royal Blue Buick Century, with tinted windows, sitting on 26" rims as its cruising up and down the strip with the neighborhoods baller behind the wheel. I don 't know a single person that didn 't like this song. Matter of fact, I bet 9 out of every 10 people who come 's across this blog start 's singing the lyrics, and will maybe even start dancing a little bit, before they are done reading. Its okay....Do your thing. I got it playing in the background on repeat right now to set the mood for this blog, and I been jamming every since I

In the book he uses a series of examples; wealth, wisdom, popularity, and pleasure. To show how each of them ultimately ends in disappointment IF it becomes the sole reason for your existence. Earlier I stated how, in todays world, most of us are chasing after Money, Power, and Respect but how many of us are willing to take the responsibility, hard work, and stress that comes along with possessing these qualities? Ecclesiastes 1:18 reads " The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow". I 'd like to compare Solomon 's statement to that of Biggie and Diddy "Mo money ...Mo problems" . Have you ever watched or read an interview of a rich and/or famous celebrity and they talk about how hard they worked to get where they are now , but now that they 've made it, and although they are very grateful, its hard. Like Drake, we all want the money, cars, and clothes. Everybody wants to be successful. I 'm still waiting on somebody to make the remix to Drakes song telling the truth about all the the troubles that comes along with being successful. Having to hide their personal life, running from paparazzi, being the sole provider for their whole family. See we spectators are the ones on the outside looking in, we don 't understand just how much

The other day while washing dishes God gave me a revelation that puts me in the mind of the message Solomon wants to portray in the book of Ecclesiastes. I don 't know about anybody else but, I like to add bleach in my dishwater to sanitize and disinfect my dishes because bleach kills ALL bacteria. (keyword ALL).When I realized I didn 't have any bleach , I boiled water on the stove to use for my dishwater because its a scientific fact that, MOST bacteria do not live above 120°F, and the more you increase the temperature the more of a chance you have at killing MOST of the bacteria. (keyword MOST) In addition to the boiling water, I poured about a 1/2 cup of Ultra Palmolive® Antibacterial dish soap which is approved to kill 99% of E. coli, salmonella, and staph on dishes( not ALL bacteria). I scrubbed the dishes harder then usual, using all my strength, trying to mentally overcome the fact that I didn 't have any bleach which kills ALL bacteria. The reality of it all is, I could have scrubbed those dishes until my fingers fell off , used the whole bottle of dish detergent and boiled them in water all day long, they would LOOK clean but its impossible for them to become truly clean, by killing ALL bacteria, without adding the bleach in my dishwater. Life works the same way. We can gain all the money power and respect in the world. We can work hard day and night, and become very successful, but its all worthless if we don 't confess with our mouths and
