letra de rappers these days - kk watson

verse 1
i️ wish that rappers these days they were saying something
they were saying something meaningful
saying something meritous
saying something challenging the parents of americans

parents of americans
what i mean to say is
rappers these days they be claiming
claiming that they’re putting ooooon for the city
when the truth of the matter is
what they’re really doing is they’re selling out their city
yo
the truth ain’t pretty

raised by this hip hop rage
when this hip hop cage
still ran by the man in the maze
old heads searchin for the peace that we came with
preaching out the message our people used to sang with

soul searching music that our streets used to bang with
but now the people wanna pray with
billboard music with the top 40 pop records
babysit my child
h-ll not with it
rather rock a kweli
pete rock record

those are the facts

hook 1
i️ can’t return back home until i️ make it
i️ can’t return back home until this hip hop breathes

verse 2

rappers these days
i gotta little metaphor
billboard charts
play it for your kids more
play it for your daughters
play it for your sons while they’re busy doing sunday chores
while they’re busy do homework on the living room floor
now leave em couple hours while you head to the store
let the billboard babysit
see what you get
respect out the window
body image first
you’d be lucky if you ever saw your kid wanna work
college all a party zone
high school where they learn to hurt
education nunca
education never first

you’ll see em learn to chase dreams without the work to go along with it
shortcuts taken with their bodies doing wrong with it
billboard babysitting kids these days
something wrong with it
something just not mom with it

think of all the hours where your kids rock headphones. all the power when the music used to set tones

when the music to set bones
before the music ever thought of as a step stone

when the baby boomer tuners were tumors for uncle sam judas
baby boomers using the music to make a stand stupid holding hands stupid
for the fam stupid

not abusing the purity of a note rang right
to leverage another person selling out the fam stupid
music was the battle
so the streets
they can last stupid

i remember when the music was a focus for change
the music was a movement standing up against the chains
music was a symbol that we all had a grave
we all have a god and we gonna be saved

music used to be for the mothers who never wanted the same
heartbreak for their daughters in vein
music has come such a long dark way
but i think wrong direction
what i’m trying to say

through the battle of a song fight
i pray
that this hip hop game comes back to its name

hook 2 (final)
i️ can’t return back home until i️ make it
i️ can’t return back home until this hip hop breathes
i️ can’t return back home until i️ make it
i️ can’t return back home until this hip hop breathes

please come back
hip-hop saved my life so many times
now i️ need you to come back
…come back different
or just leave me here
