Why I Write

My want to be a hero drove me to this art form called poetry An infestation of ungifted lyricist has has seeped into hip-hop and they are growing uncontrollably The demise of a music genre will be at the those who cannot appreciate it's history And I will not have hip-hop's blood on my hands for it will be my ultimate misery The greats all knew where their inspiration came from Tupac studied Shakespeare and look at the legend he has become All because he realized the meaning of the initials r.a.p. Yes rhythm was important but poetry was the key The younger generation has watered-down this art form like week old sprite I'm trying to be the hero that brings poetry back to hip-hop with all my might So I picked up my pen and began this fight To return poetry to hip-hop and this is why I write
