A Page in Hip Hop's Diary |
| The current state of events has me depressed |
| I used to be accessed by the best |
| But now the worst has me stressed |
| And believe me friend there is no exaggeration |
| I was created as a medium for poetic communication |
| I was born in the US as an original culture |
| I’m definitely art, but not a painting or a sculpture |
| I used to be positive, now I’m suffering depression |
| Way to much corruption in this poetic expression |
| People used to love rockin' shows and it showed |
| Once money was involved I traveled on a rocky road |
| The love has left me, now I’m feeling awfully empty |
| And the ones who abused me are driving off in a Bentley |
| I’m thought to be ignorant by the mainstream |
| 'Cause misrepresentation and misconceptions remained seen |
| All I want is for people to embrace me |
| And if it doesn’t happen I want the history books to erase me |
| It’s a shame that they use my name in vein often |
| And it’s because of me a few people are in a coffin |
| As an individual I’m dastardly lonely |
| I wish that somebody would actually master the ceremony |
| Without being phony and coming with the real |
| Instead of chasing all the money and ignoring the skill |
| The love has definitely gone considerably |
| So I’ll let it be and simply drown in my misery |
| I’m feelin mighty low |
| And I’m feelin mighty low (x4) |
| I’m still sad, I feel bad blatantly |
| I can’t watch tv without somebody raping me |
| And it’s tough to be constantly violated |
| The return to my true state is what I’ve long awaited |
| It’s really not easy being in an exploited culture |
| Everyone bites ideas like rode kill to vultures |
| People have taken me so far from my essence |
| Like going from being the kings men to the peasants |
| Our presence is felt by the dedicated |
| To all the rest is big business like federated |
| I’m heart broken |
| But there is no need to start coping |
| I stopped coping a long time ago and I started choking |
| On the tear drops that wouldn’t stop fallen from my face |
| 'Cause it seems that I have no place, a fallen disgrace |
| All the love is lost |
| And what it cost to pay |
| To be tossed away |
| Like tea in the Boston bay lost today |
| But hopefully found tomorrow |
| I’d hate to go out and openly profound sorrow |
| But that’s the way it’s headed and that’s the fate I’m dreaded |
| And when I’m dead and gone give me my belated credit |
| I feel no reason to live |
| Why should I exist and get ignored and yet continue to give |
| All I want is for people to acknowledge me the respect |
| Signing off hip hop now solemnly reflect |
| I’m feelin mighty low |
| And I’m feelin mighty low (x4) |
