To my dogg Lucus who came up with the title
I'm kinda of at a cross-roads
And I don't know what to do
See I want to be poet
But I want to be a rapper to
But not the bling-bling
Look at my ring
Doing R&B cuts
With some chic that can sing
I want to spit bars that opens eyes
And cause a generation to realize
There's a lot of things wrong
With the world they idealize
I mean, Korea's on the brink of a nuclear winter
Children every where ain't got no god-damend dinner
We should be begging the Lord to forgive the life of a sinner
But all I keep hearing is "I'm riden spinners "
See I want to spit my philosphies
And let people know the deal
About these corporate monopolies
And how they will slave you in their feilds
Or about this sinister administration
And the things that they condone
Willing to force their peace on other people
But can't even keep the peace at home
I just want to keep it real
And let you know whats on my mind
So when you hear a trac by Paz
You'll find meaning in the rhyme
I want you to find truth in every line
With words that stand the test of time
And maybe you'll even bob ya head
As rhythm and poetry intertwine
Wow!!! i really like feel dat. your words not only had me bobbing my head, but feeling every word you said. truth is freedom!!!
Wow! It's crazy cause I am a rapper to and I feel exactly the same way about the "offbrands" (that's what I call fake rappers) To me real rappers earn their props by having something to give back to the fans, even if it is just awareness and encouragement. Todays rapper just want to tell the fans how much more than them they suddenly have, when if it were not for some hard working Joe going out to spend their hard earned bread to buy their CD they wouldn't have shit! Anyway, stay strong...this world needs cats like you!
I LOVE what you have to say here- I echo your sentiments in totality- Your concern for the welfare of others, the hungry children, the nuclear winter situation, your desire to write meaningful lyrics- hells yeah- I'm with ALL that..
I, too, grow ever increasingly bored with the incessant bling- add to that, all the blatant ass-on-screen and cas sex pisses me off a little too-and I think some booty shots are ok - Don't get me wrong, if I ever gained fame, I'd be makin sure I looked tight from all angles, maybe some shots that showed off my figure and style, but there's a big dif between how glamorous and beautiful Mariah looked in her videos, and then the way she started lookin right around her break down- same with Christina Ag- a lil class surpasses barin ya ass- but anywayz- I'm gettin off the subject matter- let me get back to it and tell ya that I LOVE this piece, once again, and I do find the truth in every line- nice one, I hope ya keep spittin your philosophies till the whole world hears ya...
I really like this Paz, but I agree w/ you...add some more to it, it didn't quite fill me up, but I love what you have so far. That was some good reading...
Do the damn thang!!! I will support a move like this. Let me know. If anybody can pull it off - it would be the talent of YOU!!!
