RECONSTRUCTING RAP PERCEPTION:

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

A LYRICAL MANIFESTO
SHIT, REMEMBER WILL SMITH WON THE FIRST GRAMMY? 
AND THEY AINT EVEN RECOGNIZE HOV UNTIL “ANNIE”
SO I DON’T TAP DANCE FOR THE CRACKERS AND SING MAMMY
I DON’T RHYME FOR THE SAKE OF RIDDLING


WATCH WHAT YOU’RE WATCHING, FOX KEEPS FEEDING US TOXINS
STOP SLEEPING, START THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX
THEY MONOPOLIZING NEWS, YOUR VIEWS
AND THE CHANNEL YOU CHOOSE, PROPAGANDA, VISUAL CANCER


WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IS AN OBSTACLE
WHEN TWO NIGGAS MAKING IT OUT HAD NEVER SOUNDED LOGICAL
THREE NIGGAS MAKING IT OUT? THAT'S MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
SO I NEVER BELIEVED THE TYPE OF PERFORMANCE THAT I CAN DO
​

THE MINUTE THEY SEE ME, FEAR ME
I’M THE EPITOME OF “PUBLIC ENEMY”
USED, ABUSED WITHOUT CLUES
​ I REFUSE TO BLOW A FUSE  

IS IT WICKEDNESS?
IS IT WEAKNESS?
YOU DECIDE ARE WE GONNA LIVE OR DIE?    


WITH THANKS TO:   PUSHA T - INFRARED NAS - SLY FOX KENDRICK LAMAR - BLACK BOY FLY 
​PUBLIC ENEMY - DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE KENDRICK LAMAR  - BLOOD
