Shit is a mess
throughout the US
While Bush plans his strike and
trips on fags-and-dykes
Others think of race,
As views are misplaced...
and apathy prevails
in the land of-milk
and
honey.
Hip hop.
Hip hop
still can be heard
the truth
and-the-word.
the story from one mic,
the message in one jam.
For those who care to listen,
in cities across the land.
Hip Hop
It's the truth
a belief
a cluture--that---
I-----live
In places I have been
It's hip hop
In SFC there was some hate
but the experience it did not negate.
You seee
I
break it down
like Confucius might.
I know full well that some hos be trite
and that don't mean that
my
game
aint
tight.
You see
I
come correct
I don't come crooked
and if you don't feel my style
I don't mind......it's ok.....
there's room
for--us--all.
In New Orleans
where lines divide
the
racial barriers
can be quite wide
but through the love of the lyrical flows
you quickly find that those chasms
do
close.
and
in New York City
diversity reigns.
they
use all colors
to get to other plains
of
thought.
Seattle is my home
wet with the drone
of lattes and cell phones
and
hip-hop.
it seeps from the cracks
and drips off the leaves.
It pulses through veins of-the-people
Destroying the boundaries
uniting brothas sisitas chicas and homies
even dudes are welcome to join in the glory
of
it-all
It's hip-hop
there's room.
it's
HIP HOP.
a spoken word I wrote a few years ago for a friends hip-hop radio show in Calgary. The first few lines have been ringing in my head for the past few days. Gee, I wonder why.
On the flip side-I met this girl last night at my girlfriends best friends party that was at the very first Ani Difranco show I went to...the kicker was it was 10 years ago when I was 18 & she was 10. It was both of our first Ani shows (her big sis was a big ol' dyke & took her) What a weird fucking world this is...it is not all that meets the eye my friends...anywho-the whole 6 degrees of separation idea, has me trippin tonight.
OH MY GOD!! hahaha that reminded me (excuse my ADD) I just watched bringin down the house & there's this part where this crusty old white guy (an accountant type) takes queen latifah out on a date & at one point he leans in & with a perfectly straight face says to her, "You got me straight trippin boo"
hahahahaha oh my GAWD...put that in your pipe & schmoke it!

i'm amazed at the way 'conservative mouthpieces' can lump anyone with an opposing veiwpoint, into one camp and tell us what we're really thinking. then they talk as if we're a threat that needs to be mobilized against.
it freaks me out.
btw. ( this is all black helicopter stuff...
pretty cool huh?
mwahhahhaha!
