Hysterics In Lyrics
A mother is crying in hysterics
because of the shooting
of her son
but does she really
believe that gangsta rap lyrics
are just all in innocent
fun?
The problems will not be
solved
in a single day or night
but the solution will
start to evolve
when
the conditions are right.
And the conditions will
get right
when you have made up
your mind
to move forward toward
the light
and leave the past
behind.
And if the present,
is not what you want it
to be
then express your goals
with
music more musically.
No one is perfectly
blameless,
so stop looking for
someone else to blame.
But some rappers may be
so shameless
that they would want
things to stay the same!
So that in ten years
they could still have
careers
in rapping the same old
crap
and mothers will still be
in tears
from the violence across
the map
that is now reaching the
suburbs
from the inner city zone
a movement that surely
perturbs
the people who have
gone...
there searching for a
little peace and quiet
So let's hope that in ten
years hence
when the present is past
tense
we will have pulled on
our own boot straps
away from violence of the
raps
by just
refusing to buy it.
And the mothers will no
longer be in hysterics
because their sons have
been killed
And rappers of gangsta
rap lyrics
will no longer have
appeal
but will be relics of not
so distant past times.
And we can help to
rehabilitate them
by helping them to change
their script
and then re-celebrate
them
as positively cool and
hip
in their
rap of positive rhymes.
So the problem will not
be solved
in a single day or a
night
And it will take less
single moms
to get conditions right.
So why not wait,
for the right responsible
man
and you can make him wait
if you show him that you
also can.
And if he should leave
for sex with someone else
then he will have left
you
with
respect for yourself.
