Angel Scott Poem
Hip hop is not something that will help you get good girls or guys
It does not buy time nor does it provide an instant tide for you to ride
Hip hop is not the latest toy
It is not meant to be used as something to seek revenge or annoy your parents with
It is not meant to be cast aside as a phase or latest craze until something better comes along
It is a form of self expression
It is not a chance for you to learn to twist trees like these so you could be deemed cool on your first smoke session
Hip hop is what you think
It has nothing to do with what you smoke or what you choose to drink
This is culture
Just because you smoke or sold does not justify your thug enough to hold.
Pull your pants up and fix your fitted cap
Talk a good game and recognise what lane you stay at
THey say my clothes and style aint hip hop
Well excuse me if I don't shop at "hip hop inna box"
I didn't build a personna based on a CD
At age thirteen I decided just to be me
Influenced by surroundings, life experiences, poetry and several dope rappers
Pardon my French, let's be honest, I'm too damn old to be talkin about swagger
So um, Real recognize real and over time, fake can get scraped off the top like solidified cream
Master your high and hold fast to your dream
If your goal is to pimp, dip, and dive through the scene
I'm sorry young cousin, we ain't on the same team
Not sayin you can't really listen to this
Some people get pissed when their culture gets dissed and dismissed as a trend as they passionately defend it
Just sayin tho, respect it, don't try to end it
Pay homage to those who started these flows
And chose to keep heads nodding out of control
It's those who paved the way for you to grow
And expose what you could bring to the show
Keep doing yours as long as you're true
You're bound to reap rewards and get your just due
If not, plan to stay humble, I might rise to the top
If not I still let my tape rock till my tape pop!

Angel Scott Poem
I guess she wanted to fight,
The first encounter started off with a
"Hi"My name is Revue, born and raised in the Lou
What's your name?And from whereabouts in the US are you?
She stared me up and down before she said, :I'm Jade from Phoenix
I rep the land of the Grand Canyon and where the "Air is on ya, I mean it"
Alright, pleased to meet you. (I'm being cordial)
By the way, I like your shoes.
She said you can't afford them
(Um Okay?) I left confused.
See you later, I'm sensing trouble abrew.
By then I was cluelessSomething pissed her off, there was no way I knew this
She was something of a Bigger Thomas,
Honest.
She tried to go there so she made a bigger fuss,
and she pulled back her hair when confronted, she start to cuss, plus.
I dropped the logic on ol' girl
Ten dollar convo turned to a hundred destroyed her world.
She got buck wild and fronted on me
I called her bluff and asked her
What was her problem with me.
Conveniently no other words to be said
I never did anything to her
She decided I was competition intended to outdo her.
My badI was just doing me again.
As odd as it seemed, my worries weren't of her, nor have they ever been.
Every time I saw her, she was sour
I'm smiling, minding my own
Enjoying my life by the hour.
And that's when it got hot.
Every time I saw her, insults at me she shot.
By then I stayed quick witted
She couldn't hold her own so her friends got all up in it
I started to have fun with them all
Tying them up in knots
Getting high off their mental downfall
Now, I'm not trying to be self righteous
In spots like this some people have no idea how to handle politeness
I feel they lacking basic social skills
In situations like this they get nervous so they fall back on "keeping it real"
But in the end some end up feeling silly
I'm just saying hi, ain't no need to be acting chilly
Do I classify myself as hard? not hardly
I'm a combo between Nina Simone and Rita Marley
I'm saying
Just put the guard down for a minute
Stop mean muggin' and smile stay for a while, just for a brief visit
We might learn from each other, I understand I don't know you, nor am I looking for a sister or brother
And I don't expect to find one in you
I've made folks drop the front, extinguished hate up in the venue.
And that's the main issue I feel we struggle with
using passive aggressive,hate followed by no debate to successfully solve a problem is a myth.
And yet some of us are more direct with it
I prefer the latter, I rather have someone tell me why they were livid.
So how you livin?
