Poem
Growing up in care I never had my family by my side I was damaged and lost as a child Hood up to hide my face and I would never smile But Hip Hop saved my life Heard the Marshall Mathers LP when I was 8 years old I only understood the swearing and was too young to compare flows But I was enticed by it and instantly became a fan I became such a big fan of Marshall, My parents should have named me Stan I was already a fan of Tupac, Em, 50, G-Unit, Xzibit and the main big rappers But as soon as I became 13 my life wouldn't be the same after Let me talk about the album that made me fall in love with Hip-Hop I hadn't heard of him, but brought the Documentary by the game at my local CD shop I played it from start to finish, and loved every song It was from that moment, I knew hip hop was the place I belonged Hip-Hop gave me a feeling I didn't know, as I'd never known love Age 14 I went and studied, Rakim, Nas, Big Pun, Big L, and Bone thugs Ebonics by Big L will teach you about the slang Mobb deep taught me there's no such thing as halfway crooks I love Hip-Hop too much to become a slave in Nas's rhyme book Hip-hop was in my blood, because i share the same birthday as Method man from wu tang They grew up on the crime side I went back and studied wu tang to get my rhymes right N.W.A are the most important Hip-Hop group of all time You won't understand lyrics by Nas and Lupe Fiasco if you have a small mind All day, every day I had Hip-Hop playing Half the time I didn't have a clue what Twista was saying Scarface Should be given a lot more credit and respect When it comes to storytelling, Masta ace and Slick Rick are 2 of the best No DMX slander shall ever prosper in my presence Eazy E, Pac, Biggie, Left eye, Soulja Slim, Proof, just paying tribute to some fallen Hip-Hop legends Crooked I, Charles Hamilton, and Cassidy are the freestyle kings on the Mic Jadakiss has never spit a bad verse in his life But Styles P is the best member of the Lox I'll never love anyone as much as I love Hip-Hop I have a lot more to say, but I'll save that for another write I'll always be thankful because Hip-Hop saved my life
