“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” (unknown) I woke up early on my born day You can say it was written I would adorn the stage The essence of adolescence crept into my presence When Nas dropped the illest message You can say, I got lost in the tapes This was around the time you thought a laptop was a miniskirt When Delores said the culture had not a bit of any worth Around when Tipper only heard rap a lot’s offending words I differed from the critics the minute I that did observe The brilliance of what these girls and boys did Building a culture so poignant it gave a voice to the voiceless The science of the amps killed the silence of the lambs They took to street corners and made the livest of jams They thundered their doctrine over drums and bass knocking Doctoring music players into musical instruments Jockeying looped layers into beautiful increments Contorting torsos in unusual pivoting It more so was a dutiful reassembling Of fragmented lives over grooves and bending riffs That is why we fight to keep the youth remembering They made a beautiful culture when viewed as degenerates But now people act as if the culture doesn’t matter So it’s loaded up with the evil of living backwards Those who were our guests feast at the scene of the disaster Where the carcass is the vultures gather And folks are remiss if they look over those factors If this continues, it could be the close of the chapter Now we have meaningless discussions Y’all be on some, “Yuh, yeah; yeah, yeah yuh” and (Laughs) So while the children are stumbling, hungering, and wondering The songs we come with are nothing but mumbling And that’s just something that shouldn’t be beloved So I’m with the black intelligentsia with the facts I present with love Trying to educate to what you lack comprehension of I stand with the black barristers who attack barriers That hold us back for being black in America I stand with the mic controllers Spazzing over donuts J knew the deal (ah), I just give a taste of what have showed us I’m relaying the sayings from what the greats told us Digging through crates, cds and tapes to console us Trying to screen these greedy thieves and snakes who control us Giving insights from, the Word of life to hold us I was fishing for men when you thought the Internet was a fishing tool I was ridiculed because I was into school and not bending rules And wouldn’t choose the insolent bull that my friends would do And won respect of the women, the men, and the youth who Waited with bated breath just to listen to Someone to fish pass the word that simply isn’t truth And perhaps secure the music for all of its intended use Rather than the trending fools whose net gain is offending you Many do, fall hook line and sinker for this unending ruse That is what I will dispute as long as I have my pen in use I know followed the fishing (phishing) scheme I rippled upon us But I also said, “pass word,” and “secure” if you listened to the construct That’s a triple entendre for the fickle and nonchalant Plus a little hip-hop when it isn’t unconscious That’s why I comment hip-hop and my car have much in common Both are loud vehicles that whittle us beyond all of this nonsense So long as hip-hop dismisses its conscience with all of its distorted whims I will be here to say, “Hip-hop you must be born again”
