Just us two guys speaking on the argument of whether or not the gun culture of rap music has a negative effect on the youngsters on today. I rambled like a bitch, but Ninja came correct.
rap english that is all
Lyrics
[Req]
Now I'm good and dperessed- look at the press
Who wouldn't have guessed rap'd get blamed for all the Christmas deaths
Politicians stress it's life that's imitating art
Like guns didn't exist before you'd given Dre the charts
And, yeah, I'm really sure that it was "Fuck The Police" which first caused a cop to beat a black man up in the street
And before G Rap's stuff was released
No-one had ever thought of gun-toting, unloading slugs when in beef?
It's such a relief to know that there's nothing to peace
It's so simple now; let's just ban the bloody CDs!
No more drugs, no more speed, rape or ecstasy
And while we're at it let's ban kylie and kiss goodbye to teenage pregnancy
For every negative aspect it seems rap does promote
There's so many things that set those theories up in smoke
See, if a kid cuts his throat he was gonna do it anyway
And it's stupid to blame it on the music; just a joke
Even if there's musical influence, it might not be rap
I bet Kurt Cobain had more than his share of copycats
Shifting the blame from yourself is wishful thinking
The previous generation did OK despite the Sex Pistols singing
And it's not So Solid Crew's fault that your little girl is failing
Art Imitates Life, fact is that the world is ailing
And I'm just thinking; if the ghetto kids had been helped from birth they wouldn't have had to have drug slinging as an upbringing
But you all just slam the tracks, hate the guns and gangsta rap
Ingoring the fact that inspiration comes from habitat
Rap's replacement for living? it's a fad that's just taking a minute to leave because it's in the spirit of going against the grain just a little bit...
[NinjaMic]
imagination is limited to that which you've seen,
and that which you know, in fact if this flow is practicing dream
then I'm practicing the exaggeration of sin,
and that sin is in fact a facet of the realities that I've captured within
I'll ask it of friends, Am I a god, or a man with a pen,
the catalyst of events, or the product of the cycle of accident tense
byproduct of birth; I never made the world in my image,
but I can make my image in the world as per the servant of physics.
To break it down less cryptic, and keep it quite simplistic,
there's both a recipient and a giver if indeed the writing's gifted
don't get it twisted, the opposite of this is unimaginable
reality is beyond human comprehension… let alone a tangible
so if I've imagined it, you better believe that it's happened with
an exact approach at one time amidst reality's inhabitants
close your eyes and picture nothing, and that's what you'll get
if it doesn't exist, then I can't imagine it... therefore it hasn't happened yet
NinjasIronMic (23:03:31): if art imitated life, then art would be life
art is a part of life, it was a part of life that fathered the strife
but if life imitated art, then it's life that is art
and in either case that's life… and life is at fault
