🎶Deep thoughts of the world need poets🎶

🎶Hip Hop is the outlet providing street poets🎶

🎶We come from the ground down under🎶

🎶You bring lightening, we bring thunder🎶

🎶A way with words that makes the mind wonder🎶

🎶These street poets came up from the mud🎶

🎶Every story that we share with the world comes from our brother’s blood🎶

🎶Your mind is gripped by these tales of struggle🎶

🎶The street life of our stories is quite the circus to juggle🎶

🎶Make sure our speech isn’t muddled when all our brothers are huddled 🎶

🎶We bring sane to the brain, but leave the mind in a puddle🎶

🎶The truth from us is a given🎶

🎶No matter how much we slip we get back up and keep on livin’🎶

🎶When you look at Hip Hop you’ll always see poets. Unique poets. The world loves these street poets🎶
