Hip hop is just not my thing
you know what I mean
I just don't like the mainstream
and I def don't like the themes
Ever since I was little I just wanted to sing
to clear my throat and throw my head back
and make the heavens feel like they're under attack
make up in beauty what I lack
I wanted to breathe life into the walking dead
make them pick themselves up and carry their heads
a little higher now but it's hip hop too
I guess I'm learning that Hip Hop is cool
it's about a higher mindset and talent to boot
it's about rhyming and getting a clue
figuring music in but it's about you
not just some silly game where guy talk about hoes
degrade everybody and wear stupid clothes
I finally understood there's more than rap
there's a whole sub-culture to add to that
fine arts, performance, music and dance
it's all done a job of keeping me in a trance
I do a lot of things now I wouldn't have known
even though it's all around me when I go home
