Both of my sons are in their 30’s and they have always loved rap. Me? Not so much. They were not allowed to play bad rap, and even the rap with okay lyrics really bothered me. It’s that beat, the fact that it really doesn’t sound like music to me. They still to this day occasionally torment me with a rap song. I thought I would pass it on to you. 😉
The other day my son and I were on our way to a doctor’s appointment and he had this song playing on his playlist. My oldest son still likes rap, the other is more of blues man. I actually liked the lyrics to this one, and the song isn’t that hard on the ears.
There is one word that is considered adult language in this song, if you listen to it, but I will edit the lyrics.
#1 Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned……
You know, they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
So vengeful and mother earth has been done wrong
And I think she's sick
Yo, she's pukin up lava
Her nerves tremble along fault lines ready to drop an entire city of filth
that's been forced upon her
We built these towers of Babel and feel remorse for nada
The momma divorce the father
The children are droppin blotter
The rich get richer, poverty's hot under the collar
Takin prayer outta schools and we're tryin to raise scholars
Creationism vs. the theory of evolution
Air, water, land, mind, body and soul pollution
Kids steppin on land mines from wars we're all losin
We're chasin false idols, erasing from our bibles the golden rule
the youth are becoming more suicidal
Who teaches them, you and I do
No wonder they want to fight you
Raised by hypocrites, you feel lied to.
#2 Graffiti the land with skyscrapers…
#3 Power
We've got ABC, NBC, MTV, TNT, the BBC, DVD, VHS, DSL, A and E, XTC, mp3, FCC, THC, NRA, GOP??.. ADD
The fight for free speech, lack of responsibility
Thieves in positions of power
Internet pornography
Guns in the home for fear that the next knock at the door could be death
The terrorists are in the White House and oversees
Racists, separatists, vicious militias
The Buddhists, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Christians
Could it be our biggest barrier is language
Or is oil that important that one would inflict anguish
So cars can deplete the ozone on highways
That stretch across the land where Indians once raised families
We're in denial, the world is afraid
And you say there's no more slaves
#4
#5
We're addicted to planes, trains and automobiles
We're addicted to addiction
We dig livin in fiction
For money, power, respect, the Army's got to go kill
They're under contract so let the blood spill
Sorta morbid ain't it this picture that I just painted
It's an epiphany I had
I realized just how tainted our thinking really is
While in New York when I saw a teenager being arrested for taggin a "friggin" wall.
