Jay Z Drops "Spiritual" Giving His Take On Problems In Society (Audio)

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest.  Meaning the things that are in a sinful nature, they always come to the surface. And when they come to the surface, they come to the surface as demons”

 The demons have surfaced once again. As we mourn the lives of #AltonSterling and #PhilandoCastille, JayZ bestows upon us a track that  tackles the societal woes and the incredibly disheartening reality that more souls have been reduced to a hashtag. Produced by , Detail, “Spiritiual” is Hov’s account of the demons he personally struggles with in accord to the societal demons that have been placed on him ( and others that resemble him). “Ya’ll can have that/ I’m smack dab /in a hurricane of emotions can’t even raise my lil daughter, my little carter, we call her blue cause it’s sad that/how can I be a dad that/ I never had that/ shattered in a million pieces where the glass at”. Mr. Carter later continues , "This is the real me unfold / Gangster is love, I'm thuggin', I'm huggin' / This is tougher than any gun that I raised / Any crack that I blazed, that was nothin' / Peeling back the layers, uncovering / Scars that never healed, I never kept it this real."

Started a few years ago, this powerful culmination of sad truths and raw emotion is still very timely and relevant. "Punch (TDE) told me I should drop it when Mike Brown died, sadly I told him, 'this issue will always be relevant.' I'm hurt that I knew his death wouldn’t be the last...... I'm saddened and disappointed in THIS America - we should be further along. WE ARE NOT”, Jay Z penned as he released “Spiritual” for all (TIDAL subscribers as well as non subscribers) to hear.
  
You can’t help not to reflect on the lives of Tamir Rice ( 12 years old), Michael Brown ( 17 years old) , Trayvon Martin (17 years old)  and the others that have been wrongfully killed.    “I am not poison, no, I am not poison,I’m just a boy from the hood that got my hand in the air in despair, don’t shoot, I just want to do good.”  - I know that Jay, but does society know that?  Do our politicians and neighbors know that? Do the police know that?
