Gangsta Rap Gone Awry

Gangsta rap gone awry
Critics and fans ask why?
Artist say it's an open market
Parent's say they're young, and the target

Rappers write for the buck
Teens listen and buy for their luck
Rap music was once focused towards blacks
Now that it's multicultural, watch your back

Rappers on the west coast and east coast
It's about who's turn it's to boast
Purpose of the message is to negate
Politicians should take action and legislate

Young people take heed, get an education
Your leadership is vital, to this nation
Accept some advice, find another way
Gangsta rap gone awry
