the battle cry of a returning soldier

i'm back.

(pausing for applause, tears, related awestruck silence)

you and i both know, i love myself a good hip hop beat. moreover, i enjoy the classy, factual yet metaphorical lyrics that oft accompany da beats. so, after three days straight of listening to vanessa carlton's "white houses" (i should have just taken a valium and gotten it over with, i now realize), i was pleased -- nay, wonderstruck -- to have come across a certain gem by the lil'est of waynes.

you're welcome for 4:33 of pure bliss.
