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
