Chorus x2

Hip Hop (x4) Words with emotions in synced
Hip Hop (x4) Verses relived in ink
Hip Hop (x4) The essence that’s in its brink
Hip Hop (x4) Reflect perceptions, its time to think!

Verse 1
Ok, where to start it?
The basis begins with the artist
With the paths we choose & that we part with
Hungry for the fame or humble with the hardship
One of many temptations we have to harvest
Nurture, study and expose the daft sh*t
The question is the answer, so listen when u ask it
These are the ways that the love targets,
Tests and separates the half hearted
If you’re well aware, you can laugh hard it's...
A matter of how things perceive to be
It's my sole purpose, believe in me
Coz I, studied it a lifetime
Liked it all until I built a life line
Of my rhymes that taught my mind
To try grind, the significance of this life time
Yo I strive to be my best, tired of an amateur
Grab hip-hop by the throat & man handle her
Make her throw up the perception from a camera
That brainwashed you and slowly dismantled ya

Verse 2
Hip Hop gave an interest, above all focus
Prior I was floating like what a boat is
Now, I'm smooth sailing from what the flow does
An aim to maintaining not to go bust
Perceptions purposely portrayed to show cast
Such a work of art but never get no love
Unless love equals profit for the pockets
But the pockets never cough it if it's honest
They'd sod it, water it down to pop hits
Just letting u know, to the novice
Whose innocence is derailed by the bollocks
In order to show you I'm here to pay homage
Share the sorrow of the lost hip, hop kid
See, I don't shut up till my voice is heard
Stayed silent too long and all that time it hurt
Now its time to kill this sh*t to see it in a hearse
The redemptions be the beat, driven in reverse
The same goes to the artists whose watered down by thirst
Nothing, what y'all catch from my verse
Concentrate when I write my mind think deep
So mind blowing I freestyle and let the ink breath

Verse 3
Whats hip hop but poetry put on a beat?
A Platform for self expression so our souls can speak
Im not sure about music anymore
Where its going, What direction. Destination looks poor
And the best don't seem to get recognition anymore
Manufactured mass media brand name whores
Created by fat cats propoganda in full force
And of course they've got them on all fours so they can eat a full course
This is just the start, they called Kanye's twisted fantasy art
Yet Akalas doublethink doesnt chart
Do you listen to lyrics when you listen to a song?
Are you nodding your heard giving approval to the wrong?
Subconsciously you soak it all up
So it comes out in your actions and f*cks your mind up
Edu-tainment for todays youth
This is bittersweet symphony for a sweet tooth.
