Intro

The essence of hip hop is what I would describe as being able 2 connect with the oppressed whoever that may be and becoming their voice. The voice of the struggle...

1st Verse

I was once told I need 2 rap wit swag

Communication's less important than cash in a bag

Its actually sad, if I was sportin some rags

U would care less than if I was throwin up flags

Claimin sets & blocks we don't actually own

Conditioned 2 not care connected 2 smart phones

If they could think 4 us 2 then why would we try

Programmed 2 b lazy or a robot at mind

If u actually fly

Then show me where ur wings at

Transcend space and time

So I don't need 2 think fast

Neva catch me off guard

So Im never surprised

Connected with all, spirit, body & mind

The evolution of self didn't happen overnight

I was lost from guidance on the block every night

I really know what its like

Goin days without eatin

Stayin up on the 1st cuz the block neva sleepin

Same clothes the whole weekend

Everyone addicted ain't fiendin 4 same reasons

I was hungry 4 cash, guess I never had it

Started 2 get it, made it appear like magic

Its actually tragic

Cuz I lost so much

Dealin wit the game so I set myself up

Neva get caught up cuz if u catchin a case

Lawyer fees & cantine get that money erased

Now I deliver the message

Still I never regret it

Trials made me who I am

I would still b lost but this was part of the plan

Guided by the light, stay uplifted by the darkness

Black is infinity providin all the growth

Lies, false hope all this mis-education

Solidified foundation buildin a stronger nation

Not erasin but replacin, knowledge that was taken

Removed all limitations the fruit of life Im now tastin
