Story behind the song
This was a message I felt needed to be heard. I run around alot with it, but let me know what you think.
Lyrics
Conscious Rapper
Good morning kids it’s a pleasure to see ya,
Now let me tell you a few simple ideas,
That can make your life improve for the better,
I’m not like most rappers in the way I deliver,
Not saying its better but not saying its worse,
I got nothing but love for you lets get that across first,
Next let’s get across that I am not a thug,
I don’t carry guns or sleep around sell drugs,
I don’t even curse and don’t feel the need to degrade,
And because of these ideas I am not getting paid,
I record in my computer room when I get home from school,
But after I finish up my homework because that’s what’s cool,
Then I put together a beat and write rap music,
so this is my advice for you I hope you can use it.
Ch. I am the conscious rapper,
I don’t have money but that doesn’t matter,
You won’t hear my song in the club,
This isn’t the kind of stuff to bump,
I am the MC with ideas,
More than back it up real good for me,
You won’t hear my song on MTV,
I ain’t here to impress Carson Daly.
I know sometimes in life it feels like,
Everyone drives cars and your stuck on a bike,
But keep smiling cause money doesn’t last long,
Neither do the music video dancers wearing thongs,
Neither do the rims or any of the material,
I know sometimes it may feel like I ‘m Sere able,
But in all reality I am just like you,
A young dude with nothing to do but write to,
Phat beats I’m not from the backstreets like A.J.,
I am not from NY ATL LA I’m from PA,
And for those of you don’t know that’s Pennsylvania,
The second state in the U.S. just thought I’d tell ya,
History bit so you can be educated,
Just call me your teacher and it won’t be long until I’m hated.
Ch.
And sometimes you have to accept what others say,
Let me go into some other issues you can convey,
Girls don’t wear low cut dresses or belly shirts,
Because it’ll be harder to get respected and easier to get hurt,
And guys treat women with respect as their very delicate creatures,
Opening doors pushing in chairs wouldn’t kill you either,
Neither would compliments like ‘you look nice today’
Don’t be saying things like ‘have sex with me or I’m going away’
Cause those are threats and that can confuse a young lady,
Plus the rest of the dudes are going to think you’re shady,
Crazy how many abortions we have in this country,
More proof that we’re having sex before our bodies are ready,
Kids seek God for all your guidance,
Listen to Him because He doesn’t want to be silent,
Make your role models a positive influence,
Because life without God is like driving without insurance,
Make education refreshing and encouraging,
And last but not least kids never ever stop learning.
