Song language: English
Culture for Dollars |
| Now honor at best recessive trait |
| The sound and shape to come succumbed to Malignant maelstrom |
| Malformed mentals stained expected outcome |
| And not to be outdone |
| Some speak in half phrases |
| No definition to brush strokes already out of phase with these statements |
| Raise children off pavement… |
| Pulse on frauds hasten |
| When confronted with styles from gutter basements |
| Set to build like Freemasons, on three angles |
| All I see are Minstrel MC’s on these channels |
| Perceived battles only held to sell albums |
| Propagate stereotypes that bleed out us |
| Our own doubt us |
| But I remain devout scholar of skills of forefathers |
| Ignorance was forced on us |
| Define honest, if we all breath diseased lies |
| Define the MC if all he spits are weak lines |
| Who trades his culture for dollars? |
| The fool or the scholar? |
| Griot? |
| Poet? |
| Or White collared? |
| If my written words slurs |
| Then my speech correct |
| Keep my meaning inferred to test your intellect |
| If you remember hip-hop nigga 'nuff respect |
| Deadverse spoken with broken dialect |
| Spoken word held meaning |
| Hostile acts provoked |
| Formed metaphors |
| Created urban folklore |
| Never meant for these upper echelon aurals |
| That bought and stripped morals |
| From art that’s gift for us |
| At heart I’m strict purist |
| Spit thoughts for poorest |
| 5'6'' Honduran sights set on own ruin |
| Rugged cadence meant to capture essence |
| Ancestor’s wrath festers under surface of uttered sentence |
