This was written 4 the obvious reason. All the problems in this country. But this verse only covers one 4 the most part. Peep it.

Written: June 23, 2004 (12:17 - 12:53 a.m.)

Being poor is no joke, when ya traveling roads
Tryna survive by love being all that U load
Hungry and ya stomach growling terribly
And ya thinkin "is there even one decent person who can be there 4 me?"
The richys say "It ain't my problem, I'm livin it up"
U got 2 much money 4 U, but U ain't given it up
I'm sure U worked hard 4 the money and U deserve it
but would it kill U 2 help out a few times in the world and turn it
around, much like the axis does everyday
Ya actionz determine more than what U say
Sometimes, it'z like why bother cuz it'z hopeless
Look bakc at my wordz thinkin I never should've wrote this
Sometimes I wanna help, change the way we live
Sometimes except the fact, that it's just the way it is
And it'z up 2 whoever 2 change their surroundings of their area
Learn what U gotta do when your Made In America

Nice message you got going on in there. Is this just one verse taken from a song, and if there are other verses do they deal with some of the other issues of society? :dancingcool:

Here's the verse I.

June 22, 2004 (11:42 p.m. - 12:08 a.m.)

In 1985, they said "Letz create a drug that destroys their race
Call it crack and send it all over the place
It dysfunctions the brain, rips apart the family name
And limits the chances 4 changes 2 gain
It got in our homes, and destroys the way we livin
Took our parents love from us, and we did nothin but give in
I was unaware, scared, but God was there
Helped me get thru it when my survival was rare
In the courts, the Fuquas the plaintiff, there was no defendant
A lost soul wit no mother, but that just ended
I look at the world now, and can't believe the ignorance
How did they find it in their hearts 2 make a difference
Ain't no sympathy but can U picture the imagery
I've been told the story and now it'z part of my memory
Those peoples lives I'm part of, think if I wasn't there 4 ya
These R the dangers when your Made In America

I feel those verses, they're very similiar to the reality that I write about in my songs, we need more rappers that speak the truth in their rhymes, talkin' about things that many don't wanna talk about, I give you props for that. :bowdown:

I wrote a verse recently that's very similiar to the theme that ur talkin' about, I guess great minds think alike! :thumb: Peep this:
"It all comes from a down moment
Hypocrite bums are now folding
'Cause they thought the spotlight would shine out bright on them
For all eternity, words are deadly
Y'all ask for mercy, but your ass is hurting
Those below you, they won't console you
When they find their way ahead
And your spotlight blurs away slipping
You can break in a minute
When I finish this sentence
It's gonna be the beginning of ya ending
And all our clocks are ticking
Every moment we're living
We shouldn't take for granted
'Cause love ones today are passing
For somebody, we see them dying in war in a gas tank
That exploded by a terroist
We're losing our own fellow Americans
And our worldwide friends
That are humans beings tryin' to be livin'
In peace but that's a trajedy to swallow again
A daughter that isn't comin' home to her parents
A brother that went over to try to make a livin'
All the sacrifices are blessings
'Cause they died to give us protection
But yet we m.c's always talk bout the ice on our neck
Or all the shine on our wrists
Talkin' like a bunch of children
Why do we have to lie in illness?
Let's put the line on what we're building
By making a perfect plan
Getting the momentum in ya hand
Is what seperates the wisdom from a boy to a man"

It would be great to see more rappers speak their minds like we do, more people will wanna listen to hip-hop than they do now if this happens! :dj:

Jeez bigted, this is wat, the 2nd time we had similar. If this keep up, we could end up havin enuff 4 a collab album. Ya rhyme was good, but I had trouble following it. Probably cuz I don't write in short line like that anymore. But it was good.
