Braille - Hiphop Music lyrics

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 pa**ion 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
