Hood Glorification
The industry these days is passin’ it goals,
But to make all its profits they gonna sell they’re soul.
They put out Emcees who make the hood seem great,
With 50’s ego boosts givin’ him a gold plate.
They put out this shit for 14 year old white kids,
Whose parents keep they dangers always well hid.
But the truth of the hood it goes untold,
When the media sees their sufferin’ it puts up a blindfold.
Ya’ll forgot!!!
All about those workin’ 3 jobs but they can’t pay the bills,
It goes to show the only thing left is to deal drugs and kill…<br>Or to prostitute yourself right out on the streets,
But givin’ all yo’ money to a pimp eatin’ yo’ soul like a fresh piece of meat.
Or the countless others who losin’ the only good jobs,
Because our politicians put up NAFTA to please corporate mobs.
Get an education is what they say….but that’s just it,
How can you really learn when the schools went to shits,
Because the teachers gettin’ paid less than babysitter,
But it ain’t brought up by right wing venom spitters.
Who think it’s all solved by handin’ out vouchers,
But the schools are still in shambles and it’s completely absurd.
What about the brotha’s with cancer who ain’t got health care,
Or the mom with 4 kids who can’t afford day care,
But she needs to get them food when there’s no husband around,
Who the fuck came to help her up from underneath the ground?
Everyday on TV these Emcees talk their smack,
Even when half these kids are in jail and the other out in Iraq,
Because a leader they didn’t vote for told’em a lie,
But the only way to pay they bills was to go over and die.
While we brainwash our youth not to get involved,
To let this once great land continue to devolve,
While still lulled with the American dream,
That is dying on the floor while we’re deaf to it’s screams,
While the ruling class brutes shoot it right in the head,
That dream ain’t dyin’ it’s already dead.
