Therapy and Peace

Real hip-hop — You know the essence
Yo, it’s hip-hop culture and it’s deep in my veins
It’s freedom from a world tryin' to keep me in chains
There’s something about music and relieving the pain
And keep believing in yourself when they believe is insane
The way the drum attacks with a smack of the tracks
Swinging like lumberjacks with the crack of an ax
It’s how the sound makes you kick back and relax
It’s the knowledge in the rhymes, spit rapid and facts
It’s the street tails or the ratchets on the crooks
In a pocket book city snatchs on the?
It’s the dusk on the rcord it’s the scratches on the hooks
It’s graffiti on the city wall that catches all the looks
Cold as the wind chill airing a breeze
Its B-Boys with the windmill flaring a freeze
It’s on tour with no budget and Airbnb’s
Till I am diseased, music is my Therapy & Peace
This is legit rap — I need to make my mark
It’s something for me to write this
Real hip hop — Lyrical dope shit
Think about — Stay focused — Your time has come
It’s the independent hustle
It’s the struggle in the art
It’s expressing all the suffering that is troubling the heart
It’s practicing a verse till every word spit great
It’s the perfect piece of wax in a dirty milk crate
It’s not the cloud that everyone is chasing for miles
It’s watching out for the fake emulations of smiles
It’s being original, no imitations off styles
Staying true to make it through, through tribulations and trials
In this race where the finish place
Is the space of diminished taste
Where the minutes waste
And the hours disappear
And the dark days dwindle
Discarding your heart so the spark stays kindle
It’s rocking shows with nobody showing up
It’s making something out of nothing and suddenly blowing up
It’s the grime with projects.
Prepare to be released
Till I am diseased, music is my Therapy & Peace
This is legit rap — I need to make my mark
It’s something for me to write this
Real hip hop — Lyrical dope shit
Think about — Stay focused — Your time has come
