60yrs



 

Sixty years and we're still here

Embodying the movement that you fear

 So get behind us satan with yo" conservative" tears

Cause it's Martin's dream we hold dear

And when you try to resurrect 

your hateful flex

 We personify the spirit of the honorable

Malcolm X

50 Years of Hip Hop





 50 Years 4 your ears

Hip Hop it don't stop

Long live Kool Herc and all who put n the work

Doin' it 4 the culture.    Imitated by the vultures

Tryin' to steal what they couldn't feel

The funky drummer breaks on the Wheels Of Steel

The rebellious uprising from the cotton fields

It's all there  Were u unaware?  Yet u stop and stare at the hair

The walk, the talk, the souls 2 bare

Melodically, hypnotically

Seduced by the experience so it's gotta' be

The knowledge, the graffiti, the dance, the beats, the words

Where were u when u first heard

The feelin', the expression, the power, the call

The tribal street rhythm that now live n us all

On the shoulders of giants we all stand tall

Cause Hip Hop just turned 50 years ya'll

I Believe In You

I believe in you

 you'll always find a way to make it through

Through the mysteries of another day

Beyond the obstacles that get in the way

And though the road gets lonely at times

With motivation seeming hard to find

I pray these words ring honest and true

Because, my friend

I believe in you

Unchecked Bias

 Every belief has a bit of built-in bias

and if left unchecked

It may lead to ignorance, intolerance or even ruin
