Bars: "Every Jab, I've Parried It" ("Fruits of the Spirit", by Jay Electronica)

E

In any industry, sport, or business, there are always invisible standards, rules and values. And what's true is that very often these values are not the same as your own. What we usually see is people who make it to a level of success, yet end up sacrificing what they really want and who they really are. They allow themselves to be a victim of their environment. Jay Electronica is not one of those people, and he explains how and why, on his new album "A Written Testimony". #Bars
