Ballad of a ridah
So many talk of lyrical elevation,urging to search for inspiration,
Crying out for the creation of rhymes that can start a revelation,
Talk of realizing the realization,pave a new path so we won't be facin',
What we have to,won't be stuck on da same station,
And i've heard them and i've been patient.
For them to get deep,for this curve to get steep,
But they fall in a heap,i expected a leap,
From same old hating 'coz that shit is weak,
They announce the reallness of da shit that they speak,
But all they express is that they have the heat,
Using it to go places and show us what we seek.
But they don't go nowhere,same old beef,just when i thought i'd get some relief,
From these gansta fools causing me grief,i think i'ma leave,
How about rapping about da autumn leaf,when it loses colour and falls,how about belief,
Of the young boy who prays for his father acroos the seas,
And feels his presence in the ocean breeze,
Why you obssessed with triggers to squeeze,and bangin' da hoes and gettin' your cheese,
Time to grow up,time to be a G,time to cross all lines and be totally free,
I ain't dissin' just hissin' what i see,rap is an art form and that is da key,
For us to start tapping our potentials and start rapping,
Instead of just hacking,give these fools what they lacking.
Are we stuck with guns or drugs?When will we be poets instead of thugs?
When will we be poets instead of thugs and stop dealing with slugs,
You see rappers on t-shirts and mugs,
We spreading all over da globe, let's spread some light and hope,
Help other homies worldwide to cope,let's not let this go up in smoke.
They said rap music was nothing but black music,
Now they say we lack music,like it's wack music.
Rap's just for ganstas with guns and bored suburbans with funds,
There are fake rappers but don't diss the real ones,
The ones that use both their skills and their lungs,
To get shit off their chest,to spit and express,
What they feel,they confess,but you say we make a mess,
Promoting violence,we take lots and give less,
The media thinks hip hop's an illness.
But rapping's an art when it comes from the heart,
And don't make me start on pop pussies ruling da chart.
As a kid whenever i got sad or just plain pissed and mad,
I took to rap,more than just a fad,shit,rap was all i had.
Are we stuck with guns or drugs?When will we be poets instead of thugs?
When will we be poets instead of thugs and stop dealing with slugs,
You see rappers on t-shirts and mugs,
We spreading all over da globe, let's spread some light and hope,
Help other homies worldwide to cope,let's not let this go up in smoke.
So fuck wordplay and fuck da rules of da game,
I'm just spitting what i feel and you can do da same,
Time to stop shiftin' the blame,i don't beef 'coz that shit is lame,
I don't say you should quit 'coz you ain't profane,
But better get outta my way,i ain't changing my lane,
My perspective is my focus,never lose sight of this locus,
There's no bullshit or hocus-pocus,i ain't got time if u bogus,
Sometimes muddy waters give birth to a lotus,
And an oracle is born amongst pimps and crack smokers,
Freedom of speech guaranteed to all adult voters.
So break da glass ceiling and proceed to start revealing,
Your real thoughts,what you feeling,time for us to start dealing,
With real issues and be peeling the layers off stuff they concealing,
I know there's opposition,already peeps started dissing,
It ain't their fault that they be missin' my message,they be pissin'
In da wind,but i know no submission.
So either you with me or you a moron,regardless i will roll on,
I don't need an alley to bowl on,can't waste time,gotta get da show on.
Sometimes i'm more poet than rapper,
'Coz i talk of shit that matter,
But i'm more of a rapper than a poet too,
'Coz my verses sounds better than most poems do.
Are we stuck with guns or drugs?When will we be poets instead of thugs?
When will we be poets instead of thugs and stop dealing with slugs,
You see rappers on t-shirts and mugs,
We spreading all over da globe, let's spread some light and hope,
Help other homies worldwide to cope,let's not let this go up in smoke.
