“Being an 80's baby, I grew up listening to a wide variety of Hip Hop during its "Golden Age". Whether it be Snoop Dogg, A Tribe Called Quest, NWA or LL Cool J, I enjoyed the music because it was real. These people loved what they did, even though they gained profit they still thought it necessary to promote theiur best efforts. Music needs love again.”
His foray into music initially wasn't all in all hip hop related. "My first memory of anything lyric that I wrote is a poem I wrote in 8th grade called 'In The Ghetto'. It received good reviews from my peers, so i continued to write." He cites Pete Rock and Talib Kweli's collaboration "Fly Til I Die" Off of 2004's Soul Survivor II as his inspiration to begin taking Hip Hop seriously "That song was, to me, the epitome of what the essence of hip hop is. Everything... from the beat to the lyrics to the presentation was so in tune I felt compelled to make music.
Water would begin to write and record raps with his high school friends, experimenting with his new love. The creation of these early songs began his exploration of the Emcee realm.
BE. would go on to practice his craft, using each song as a means to improve, but also a means to express himself. Through time, he would become enthralled at the world of beat-making, and thus began his expansion into the 'Science'.
With the focus and care that BE.water applies to his craft, combined with the determination and passion for his music to be quality and always progressing, one must wonder what water believes the future has in store for him.
"In the future, I would love to make money doing this, but i refuse to sell out. I want to always stay true to myself. If I have to sacrifice monetary benefits for the quality of my music, for the soul of my music, i will make those necessary arrangements. Music is more powerful than we would like to believe. Music is a gift that can connect the entire world, music is universal. Good Music is from the soul, and i want to allow myself to reach the highest peaks attainable through diligence, effort, and a never ending love for my craft"

But there's just something I been wanting to get off my chest

You know I'm feelin you cuz baby I know you're feelin me
Why play these stupid games when you know what we really should be
These feelings deep inside you know that I have held them so long
Way Too Strong, Way Too Strong, Way Too Strong
And I can't hold em any longer
Way Too Strong, Way Too Strong, Way Too Strong
And I can't hold em any longer

But at the same time you won't go thru
With what it is we wanna do
I think that you're the girl for me
Fit all the qualities that I need
So come and take this path with me
So we can grow like a tree
Baby girl I see that look in your eyes

Buried them deep down inside

in the real world yes. in the sheep planet earth not too much
competence is not rewarded. when it should be.
realness is shamed. when it shouldnt be.
fakeness is rewarded. when it shouldnt be.
those who follower trends best become the (fake)alpha leaders of their HS/towns/workplace. this is pathetic.
sheeple are completely assbackwards to reality then stand up on you point down and say "haha. freak."
you're damn right i am.

@Tbonyandsteak
Yeah it is funny, with that word, Spiritual. What does it mean?
-Easely mislead to angels and gods.
But in ancient times it was different.
"In the spirit of"
"Son of "
"Image and likeness"
It is all the same thing, referring towards an archetype.
It is written in the old script. You put a seed in the ground and see what it grows into.
A dog, a Lion, a Scorpion, a vesel, a coyota, a rat. Etc.
It also says in the ancient script" Let US make mankind into OUR image, after OUR likeness."
So they did........Rome was founded by twins raised by a wolf.
Totally different meaning than most believe it to be.
So to be spiritual is mastering the meaning of it. To know what it means.
Not to be delusional about, then you are not mastering it.
