Chris Rivers hasn't been one week of his "Barz Day Wednesday" series. Every week, the rapper comes through with a new freestyle over some of his favorite beats. Some of them are classics while others are from singles released in recent times. Last week, he came through with some nasty bars over "Caterpillar" by Royce Da 5'9". Today, he revisits a stand out cut from Mac Miller's Macadelic mixtape for his latest "Barz Day Wednesday" installment.

Chris Rivers hops on Mac Miller & Kendrick Lamar's "Fight The Feeling" beat for his latest "Barz Day Wednesday" entry. The rapper's latest song finds him reflecting on heartbreak and the aftermath in which people try and fight other ways to fulfill themselves. It's not the type of track where he focuses on just rapping bars but instead, conveying emotions and a message through the track.

Quotable Lyrics
Just some shit that's occupying my brain
I want to swerve 'em on no gas and let 'em die in the flame
You see in truth you're all annoying or just shallow in vein
And if it wasn't for my dick, I wouldn't mind if you came
