I Rap
Felt like those people were me
I just lived across the border
Bein we all were slaves
The thought ain't outta order
We all strived to do it
I just did it well
My subconscious always knew my future
It just wouldn't tell
Hip hop came with an accent and slangs
Some put on dashiki's
Some word hoodies and fangs
But at the end of it all
Represented the same thing
So I rap
Cause my mother told me not to sing
I needed to speak my mind
And rhyme was the closest thing
I rap
Cuz Rakim told me I'm a King
An knowledge and understanding's
What experience'll bring
The native tongues said you can have fun without the bling
Wu taught me the power of a k**er Bee sting
I rap
I rap
I rap cuz Rick said become a creative ruler
Told me the world was mine
And don't ever let 'em look through ya
I rap
Cuz Jazzmattaz said Hip Hop's got cla**
The culture lost a voice when Guru pa**ed
Em reminded me that white people have it hard too
And became the poster child
For no matter what do you
So I do
G-strut, accent and all
Pac told me to be ready when my homey's call
Kris said stay informed
And watch Babylon fall
While me an Premo hold the underground
Torch through it all
I rap
I rap
The Fugues said
Bein suburban don't mean your bougie
An use every form of music
That's breathing and livin through me
Kris told me to see wealth
And put myself in the pic
LL said love the ladies
But don't be a dick
Nas told me homie
You could be raw and stay fresh
Thought they wouldn't understand either
So he wrote for himself
Jay-z reminded me as a G
I'm getting older
And I"m a need money
If I want to remain a soldier
I rap
Cuz my dad said it was a fad
And the Fresh Prince told me
Parents just don't understand
Maestro told me homie
You should stick to your vision
Then he told me in person
And I made my decision
I rap
