Hip-Hop

Hip-Hop is
Life’s Journey
Eyes through dreams sometimes covered up by their surroundings
My activism voice
Sometimes a false reality
Reality
Rhythm that cannot be contained without movement
A voice to my community
Underestimated
A movement
Educational when applied through its true form
Chance
A tool that transforms nothing into something purposeful
Opportunity that may not be there in other ways
A swagger that could only be hip-hop
Is not everyone
A story as seen through its creators eyes
A contest
Light to darkness
A stance against the status quo
A gift not to be taken lightly
Art
Pencil to paper
Where the alphabet comes to life
Able to cross genres and leave a lasting impression that lasts a lifetime
Something that was thought to not last long
A line used to gain someone’s attention
Something that comes in many forms
N.W.A, LL.COOL J, Public Enemy, T.I, Common, Jay-Z, Biggie, Luda, Run-DMC, KRS-One, Special Ed, Lost Boys, Nas, Lil Wayne, Pac, Pun, Fat Joe, 50, Puff, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim
Also
The Rolling Stones, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Joe, R. Kelly, Maroon 5, Nickleback, One Republic, Cold Play, John Legend, Alicia Keys, James Brown, amongst many others
Setting the bar higher and higher
A dance, a vibe, a beat
You and I
Love
