My favorite Reasonable Doubt lyrics is… We all fiends, gotta do it, even righteous minds go through this
True, this the streets school us to spend our money foolish
Bond with j**elers and watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level, meditated like a Buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous dreams of gettin' cream
"Let's do this!" It gets tedious
So I keep one eye open like CBS
You see me stressed right? This is my favorite lyric because...
Human nature and life. It describes drive for more, drive for success and every single ambitious person can relate to that, including me. Jay shows us that there is a really thin line between positive and negative, desire and greed. Once a man gets hold on a thing he wanted he feels thrilled and elevated, suddenly he wants more but he is careful because the same people as him are surrounding him. So like a Buddhist he needs to calm his mind down and remain sane. It's the survival of the fittest
