Poem
Parents weren't around to raise me, all I had was words and lyrics from rappers Excuse me, if I act like Hip-Hop is the only thing that matters Nas, Rakim,Tupac and Eminem taught me more than any book Hip-Hop Taught me more about life than any teacher ever could I don't care for mumble rappers or the new slang From a young age I've listened to Big Pun, Jay-Z and Wu-Tang So I love a message in the bars and rhymes I see Hip-Hop today and I hate how the art has declined From a young age I've been in love with Hip-Hop But I don't care about love and Hip-Hop I care about rhymes, storytelling, lyricism, I'm not the one to judge your wrist watch I like the rappers that try to Write something so hard, that when they lift their pad up, blood will drip off Hip-Hop inspired me to be better, but the government will tell you it's to blame for Gun crime Because they hear the word gun and don't listen to the full rhymes If you don't listen to artists on a whole, you have no right to judge their artistry No teacher taught me more about life than KRS-One, Common, Nas and Bone Thugs and Harmony At the age of 8 I heard the Marshall Mathers LP for the first time Obsessed and mesmerised by the different way rappers made words rhyme Depression had a hold of me and stopped me from sleeping at night But as soon as I threw some Hip-Hop on, it gave me a reason to fight They told me it was inappropriate, but someone tell me what's worse My family drinking and injecting heroin, or a rapper putting a few swear words in their musical work? If it wasn't for Hip-Hop I wouldn't be alive right now because it saved me Until the day I die I'll always be a Hip-Hop baby Parents weren't around to raise me, all I had was words and lyrics from rappers Excuse me, if I act like Hip-Hop is the only thing that matters Nas, Rakim,Tupac and Eminem taught me more than any book Hip-Hop Taught me more about life than any teacher ever could
