I Rap

Felt like those people were me I just lived across the border Bein we all were slaves The thought ain't outta order We all strived to do it I just did it well My subconscious always knew my future It just wouldn't tell Hip hop came with an Accent and slangs Some put on dashiki's Some word hoodies and fangs But at the end of it all Represented the same thing So I rap Cause my mother told me not to sing I needed to speak my mind And rhyme was the closest thing I rap Cuz Rakim told me I'm a King An knowledge and understanding's What experience'll bring The native tongues said You can have fun without The bling Wu taught me the power of a Killer Bee sting I rap I rap I rap cuz Rick said become a creative ruler Told me the world was mine And don't ever let 'em look through ya I rap Cuz Jazzmattaz said Hip Hop's got class The culture lost a voice when Guru passed Em reminded me that white people have it hard too And became the poster child For no matter what do you So I do G-Strut, accent and all Pac told me to be ready when my homey's call Kris said stay informed And watch Babylon fall While me an Premo hold the underground Torch through it all I rap I rap The Fuggees said Bein suburban don't mean your bougie An use Every form of music That's breathing and livin through me Kris told me to see wealth And put myself in the pic LL said love the ladies But don't be a dick Nas told me homie You could be raw and stay fresh Thought they wouldn't understand either So he wrote for himself Jay-Z reminded me as a G I'm getting older And I"m a need money If I want to remain a soldier I rap Cuz my dad said it was a fad And the Fresh Prince told me Parents just don't understand Maestro told me homie You should stick to your vision Then he told me in person And I made my decision I rap
