H2 - The Exhibition (from "Exhibit A" by Jay Electronica)

This is a preview of a track from a mixtape I've been working on for the past few days. The original song is "Exhibit A" by Jay Electronica (produced by Just Blaze), this is my rendition - my view of society, our government as well as the demise of the culture of hip-hop. I will no longer stand back and watch our culture commit verbal suicide. A new hero has arrived.

LYRICS: (class is in) session / and im raisin my hand like, "me next!"
H2 / a flower that bloomed outta the p-jects
old-school / never took my regents with the rejects
my world star hip-hop bars are like DX
(so) suck it / this degeneration is what we stuck wit
a generation of degenerates sayin fuck it
fuck the law / fuck the cops
hustle raw on the block
if not / get a scholarship shootin buckets
is that all we amount to?
livin' like we dyin - or / cryin' cuz he fouled you?
i was never proud to
say i was immune to all the gloom in my community
and i would write a book of life before i write a eulogy
*it's so easy to sit-down and sell-out
so stand up for what you believe in and yell out
"this is not hip-hop! this is a DISASTER!"
rap is no slave but all the labels are the masters
*my opinion? yall are just the minions
tryin to live in the fab lane like misses russell simmons.
*you aint really livin' if you live like the next man
(and) i aint really spittin / i'm just doin the best that i can
*to try and teach you little sour patch kids
(on) how to flow with flavor and the power that is
your voice / the choice is yours to be a black sheep
or a black man that can move mountains when you speak
*how you sleep on yourself and your beliefs
(is) somethin i cant believe / cuz you and i were concieved
of the same - mother earth / brother burst with integrity
how you sell your self short when everybody else is free?
*be all that you can be without the army's help
cuz when the revolution comes you'll have to arm yourself
bombs on the shelf / nukes in iran
30,000 more troops in afganistan
they dont understand how we've been affected
(and) molested of our rights / *they claim it's to protect us
(and) yet - they still infect us with man-made diseases
*(and) tell us that a change gon come just to appease us
the)se are my beliefs / (my) essay and my thesis
i'll rip the world to pieces before i do BET shit
*im in a bus passin 106 and Park / (with a) blunt
in the front sittin next to rosa parks
(im an) outkast / outlast me - i'll outsmart you
(im) fly like a hive full of bees with poison darts who
(dont)
miss / (dont) spit if you a cottonmouth king
(and to the) drakes / we don't wanna hear ya rotten mouth sing
about the money and cars / the cars and the clothes
(or) that bitch nikki minaj and how hard she blows
(like a) trumpet / a tuba or straw inside a soda
(these) niggas used a tube o lube and fucked rap over
*no vaseline - ice cube ass niggas
(twitter) tweet to the beat youtube ass niggas
(ring)tones - cellphones
(man) who the hell knows (what's) / next
iSex? iLove? im GON'
**im so outta this world like Evie
please believe me - what yall do is EASY
it doesnt please me to see us still struggling
*we think we movin but really we not budgin man
actually - we're going backwards cuz every verse
*about the hoes in the cars stuck us in reverse
marcy-ilago / watch who u follow
(you) wont catch Jay-z in marcy tomorrow
(but) you'll find H2 in harlem - today
throwin up a bomb with a can of the spray
what more can i say? i done said it all (and)
did mad shit / i never woulda did at all
you can rise or fall
you can sink or swim
*or you can grind out, pass the finish line and win
pass the torch to the next group of scholars
give it to the kids that wanna rap about knowledge (it's)
*bigger than college / it's bigger than a song
(if you) think it's only music then you got this all wrong
(this) is about saving our culture from the vultures
hip-hop's alive - stay tuned and stay focused

@MrMike93100 lol - do I not have enough "rap appeal" for you? ;) i'm just gettin this out because i've always wanted to rap about some real shit...it's very rare to hear some real shit, so i figured who better to do it better than me? it'll be alot better when it's recorded and mastered.
