The Message

[For the Cause]

is your message you put on cassette a true reflection of yourself?
do you consider who may intake your thoughts and ideas?
are you over critical and insincere to those who may become confused,
to the message and interlude that you wish to presume?

is your message a slap in the face,
glorifying the negative stereotypes
that some people associate different races with?
is your message in any way,considerate to women and children?
do you sometimes get carried away with how you observe others and label all the same?
or is their an underlining meaning of a message left untold that you must read between the lines to discover?

is your message in such a discriminating code
you fiercely trample on unsuspecting others
cuz youve became so guilty of discrimination?

is it really so cool to hang out on street corners and sell drugs?
is it really so cool to look at women just as like,a fuck?
do you ever consider those that could be influenced by your message
and left astray in confusion?

or do you wish to uncover somethin deeper thats been eluded?
my message is power
my message is knowledge
my message is reality
i never wish to get carried away,in life's cruel formalities
i never wish to become so discriminating
but i wish to shed insight
as honest and forthright as possible
i wish to strongly to be insightful
to uncover the power struggle
between politicans and everyday people
i'll work long and hard to speak to the people
cuz we got to help the people
cuz look how at some people generalize us
as sellin drugs and common thugs
when the overall battle
we are still all losing
and thats why to me
its so imporant
to send a righteous powerful and considerate message
to uplift the people,instead of drag them down

just some thoughts about some of the messages we hear in music today
to me to be able to hold the mic and heard on a national level is a special privledge
this was just an experiment cuz its been a while,
anyways hope all enjoy.

for some the mic that leads to multiple speakers is just a dream, though there beginnings are not to different from what you already see-

check the forums.

Feeling this piece a lot. I find myself watching what I say and do a lot more now because my daughter is getting at a age where she is beginning to look up to people. It's the same way with a lot of the younger cats that live around me also. Everything that looks good isn't good for you. Nicely written piece

one luv

Yeh this reminds me of the way i feel about 3 6 mafia....while their beats are undeniably tight...,.thier lyrics are deifinetly posining the children...which may be there goal"hypnotize minds"
and sometimes childreen, teens, even adults can be so ignornt not realizing that they are doing what they hear in songs just bc they heard it in a song.....anyway
this was a great message, that i definetly agree with and feel!!!
