social construct

Kool Moe had lyrics on the high level,
since I hit kindergarten hip-hop has gone down hill like a bevel
we went from a golden era down to only several
put the needle on the wax and revel

I prove that i'm not like your stereotype
when I sing a long to that Journey song with the hype
I'm more than a new school 80s prototype
electro and indie is what I like
I write down lyrics cause fake MCs try to bite
but in my days I try to live with no fear nor fright
cause when you refuse take chances you waste your life
so I don't stop believing
time changes things in generations and seasons
but i refuse to go on a journey
that includes verbally stating, negating and relating
our compatibility and
forget my melanin
let my personality settle in

---

Being yourself is essential
its organic like some lentils
outlined like a stencil
explosions when my Moleskine hits my pencil
full of density and authenticity
different is what I'll be
bringing progress
prevents stagnation
help the movement
add acceleration

---

when you notice that at the end of your day
that you only push people away
you have to sit back and say
what have I gained

---

baby mamas and billie jean fiending
they say their safe, but to the left they be leaning
protection is not their option
mistakes forces adoption
didn't let thoughts in
moved too fast
at this age it never last

---

everyone knows
whats going up nose
you don't have any morals
so your resting on your laurels
you say your chill but all you do is quarrel
you have knowledge, but you don't use your power
success is nothing when it's sour

---

you listen to Bronques when he says take off your clothes
when you see Cobrasnake you stand in an awkward pose
your want to be famous and you believe everyone can do it
if it wasn't for party pic sites
in the scene you would be clueless

---

your favorite people never pay attention,
your wannabe proteges
you never listen

---

remember the days you asked for advice
let it be noted that I was nothing but nice
help you change into something your like
met new friends who dictate your life

---

I saw the signs
your actions are a sign of the times
I'm seeing few our kind

---

you claim that you care about hoes and clothes
living your life off No Doze
as another party comes and goes
at night you have many friends but in the day they turn to foes

---

he wears his L and D
with his APC
sipping on a PBR
he likes vinyl toys
and DDR

---

waking around downtown
I have my SLR and a tripod
I memorize music, so I don't need an ipod

---

spaz if you want to
spray bubble guts if you want to
do what you want to do
but i'm not getting close to you
you live your life with no clue

---

get up kids
black kids
cool kids
no kids
cold war kids
ChaMelknee loves the kids

today is yesterdays tomorrow
cause yesterday I started trends that in ten years you will follow

flossing to the tradamus

death to the dictator, God is great
I'm not in Iran, but I care about their fate
icons green
and police brutality visibly seen


politicking like Pelosi,
top model like a go see,
I'm five eight but a myspace model i'm not what I'm trying to be,
but the truth is what I what to see,
rappers lying like the CIA,
spitting for some waterboarding,
sending ignorance is all our burden

If we can agree one thing
slavery was beyond obscene
but there's still people like Steve King
who won't acknowledge and are still not keen


meet me and want to join my gang,
got more people following me than Arirang,
flipping like a gymnast,
my hype is bubbling like a chemist,
put on a gas mask
please dont call it swag
but if had to ask
they say like MJ, I'm the new Bad


I'm brushing,
flossing to the tradamus,
getting out the plaque of wack MCs,
they cant even freestyle so they're casket, dead to me.
New Orleans bury over ground,
I listen to that underground
back to the 90s and that even now,
that chi-town loft party ghettotech
and that basement house you better bet


if I can fit my size then I buy,
cause I think all clothes are unisize
and if you disagree then it's all is lies
he wears my pants,
I wear his shirts,
don't complain, they say fashion hurts

truth no lie from a guy

I get more attention from black guys,
but i speak the truth not even a white lie,
cause when we're one on one I get so shy,
I'm from the chi so i guess i do or die,
but i choose live to get my high,
not from Mary but i pray on high,
just looking because most of these guys are sneaky sly,
I build a wall so never I cry,
so I sit and wonder and sigh
will I meet my guy on a Pharcyde passing on by
or do I need to become one of those girls that does nothing by try
but its a lie to myself, if I change myself
so I continue to be me until nothing left
and one day there will be one who will beseech me and complete me
but until that day
alone I'll happily be



Cant cook many things in the kitchen,
I tell the truth there's no snitching,
I want to marry a doctor, but I have a thing for broke musicians



killing like RJ Reynolds,
but rather wrap up youth,
and save these memories,
cryogenically like Disney.
Reading Vonnegut and finding the classiest way to commit suicide in an attempt to live,
in an attempt to breathe fresh air of my freedom,
my uniqueness,
but none following the trendiness,
but i know the trends and they call my hip,
but then you say I'm not cool cause i don't dip
and I definitely don't swag,
but what I have measures up to mountains of what you lag



rob money,
get bank,
then you sip on your drank,
listen to rap music you and thats the only thing black people thank
but i know we can think
we still have poets who lyrically draw ink when they speak



I say who's the one holding my skin twins back,
but when i hear nonsense no one reacts,
rather they clap, no rather they dance.
Start the minstrel show I say every time a new BET video goes



girls look like they're from Brazil in their thong bikini,
I'm sorry is that your skirt, or did you say its a dress.
a single thread of string couldn't cover less.
You can show from your bottom to chest,
but last thing your going to get is respect
because your aiming for way way less



I want to wear Cazals over my contacts
and Lanvin over my toes.
i care about creativity and style,
not just the brand of my clothes



change your life this is the new deal,
I don't need new clothes for my style to kill


i may crush fast, but i stay grounded
I never fall,
cause most these guys say they ball
but they're not doing anything with their life at all
