Hiphop Music

I don't bust caps or press em on Krylon cans

I just stand on stage with the MIC in my hand

8 years ago, no friend of mine

was around to talk, so I'd sit and write rhymes

I can't say, hiphop is all bad cause it isn't

sometimes it makes me mad and I eject it from my system

this is an art-form, a form of expression

communication, something that youth relate with

gang related or peace statements, it's all up to the artist

we got, freedom of speech and each aims for a different target

different markets, different agendas, different intentions

some are pure, some are offensive

I'm just, one of many different sides represented

or should I mention, each individual is their own extension

speaking their perspective, so in this game I hold my own

ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my home

Hiphop started in the Bronx, come on

now it lives all over the world

people of all types embrace the culture, bang the music

get into it, start a movement, keep doing it

when you write your first rhyme don't expect to be

considered the best mc, develop your flavor and recipe

if you wanna see success it takes a lot of sacrifice and effort

just because you got a flow doesn't get you cheddar

call it cash money, I hate slang and stereo types

for all mediums I give the same advice

no matter what you strive for, no matter what goals you got

there's no short cut to the golden pot, the plot thickens

I spit out lyrics like their lukewarm but keep it hot

plant seeds to feed the flock when the beat knocks

stay focused on God, bless tracks with passion

I'll be loving hiphop till my flesh turns to ashes

I got a love/hate relationship with hiphop, it frustrates me

it can break these rusty chains or drive me crazy

I'm a rhyme spitting, time bomb ticking

Christ is living, and died, to save me from this worlds sickness

when people think of rap music they relate it to players, pimps

paper chasers and gang bangers, but don't forget

just cause you see them scenes in videos

doesn't mean, that for every mc, that's how it really goes

the truth is, hiphop is diverse as earth is

what a man speaks reflects the world he's immersed in

and the condition of his heart, yo it's hard to judge it

most these rappers would be nothing, without their budget

and record labels, paying for promotions

putting their face on posters, while they posing

but see, hiphop music gave a voice to the streets

plus it made profit, so now everybody wants a piece

I wasn't down from the beginning but since I started

I've been true to God, myself and true to the art

all I got left to say for everybody east to west

represent hiphop right if you want it to get respect
