So many in the dark is unseen...caught in between, perhaps rap was a fortunate thing. Forced to be king, from hustlin, supportin the fiends....bustin guns, I had no remorse as a teen. Rockin birthstones, my first get bent nursed the dome...it hurts to zone, now I realize I'm on this earth alone. Time ticks, devilish minds design tricks, leave you blind quick, cause you to die behind shit. REAL HIP HOP
You and i both now the major influence rap have on the younger generation. Now imagine if mainstream rap music was replaced with songs like this spreading messages laced with maths, intelligence and progression, instead of that waka 'gun sound' flocka and niki 'make little girls act like crazy bitches' minaj sht dominating the airwaves....no really, imagine that sht... imagine what a majority of the younger generation would be like now...what a shame...
Nina Simone to kick it off with her wonderful voice, drums come into effect in the background, and AZ finishes it of with perfectly crafted rhymes...beautiful!
Should have made a full version
