Why?

Forget Mike,

Nobody really knows how or why

He works so hard and seems like he's never got time

Because he writes every note, and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work

When that light goes on in his mind

It's like a design

It's written in his head every time

Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme

Written above is the only rap that I know

The only one that I have continued to sew

Into the fabric of my mind

Where words and a beat actually show

True meaning to what I have known;

As the true rap that I knew just years ago.

The smut these days has nothing but shown

Me

The type of nothing that rap has grown

Into;

What I would give to just throw it out the window

This repetition of, "Hey ho, goin to the club with my negro."

I'm sorry, were you not expecting?
I've give you a moment to start collecting

The reasons for why we are not rejecting

These absurd words in which we're apprehending

Rather than defending, as images in which we are depending

On, aka rely on the pertinence

Of the disciplines our music can instill in

The mind of the younger generation

Of a nation, headed in the wrong direction

Ready to nose dive, can't survive

When all we have is time.

Time

Running out without a doubt

Listen up because I'm shout

-Ing, can we stop pretending?

Our country in dire need to find

What we seek from our mind

The mind's eye, the least blind

Of the trifecta, the truthful eye.

Basically, I'm saying that the first stanza are lines from the song Remember The Name by Fort Minor. It is unlike new age rap that is all about drugs, sex, and clubs. Fort Minor's raps tell a story about life, something that a person can relate to and learn from. The reason I despise rap with a passion is because of the new image it's created. The early 2000's were by far epic years in the movement of this new style. Yes, some songs were about drugs and sex, aka the 'ecstasies' in life. But that wasn't their only subject. The new age hip hop, has taken over as a song composed of what seems to be several common words, "Boo, girl, flo' (floor), ho (slang for a female), and other vulgarities and racial slurs that if said by a white man would wind him up being shot." I just don't understand it. Either way, tell me what you think about my first, and more than likely, last rap.
