THE BEAT GOES ON:

WE CONTINUE TO ABSORB AS WELL AS LIVE THE COURSE OF OUR BLACK MUSIC'S DIRECTION.

CAN'T HELP THE VIBES FELT AS WE LISTEN TO FEELINGS AMONG OUR BLACK YOUTH OF YET AN ONGOING INFECTION.

THIS DISEASE NOW USES PSYCHOLOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL INJECTIONS TO VERY NEAR PERFECTION.

OUR SONS, DAUGHTERS AND GRANDCHILDREN ALL CALL IT RAPP.

OH YAH; IT DEFINATELY CONTINUES WITH RHYTHMIC CLAP;

A NATURAL ASSET APART OF BEING BLACK.

BUT IN THIS NEW MESSAGE OF RHYTHM THERE IS FOUND A GIANT GAP.

AND IN IT TODAY'S SUFFERING YOUTH ARE INDEED TRAPPED;

REAL CREATION HELD CAPTIVE;

A GIFT YET TO BE UNWRAPPED.

LISTEN TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE A SECOND BEAT.

IN IT CAN BE HEARD THE SUFFERING AND AGONY OF DEFEAT.

THUS WE; THE LADIES AND OGs OF YESTERDAY BRING TO YOU THE NEXT GENERATION IN OUR CULTURE TO REPEAT;

 THE SAME OLE MESSEGE IN OUR GHETTO STREETS. . .

CENTURIES LATER:

WHY IS THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES;

ALSO NOT MADE ILLEGAL AS IS THE USE OF DRUGS WITH ITS ADDICTING DAMAGES?

AGAIN AMERICA SHOWS ANOTHER INBALANCE

SEEN IN OTHER AREAS OF LIFE SUCH AS SEGREGATION'S HARD CALLUS

OR THOSE LIVING IN THEIR MILLION DOLLAR PALACE

NOT GIVING A DAMN ABOUT HOMELESS JANIS, ALICE OR ALEX

YAH !  I SAID IT !  SEGREGATION !!

A WAY TO KEEP UP THE CONTINUED FRUSTRATION

MONITORED LIKE STOCK IN THE WAREHOUSES OF AMERICA'S POVERTY STRICKEN NATION

WHERE LIFE CARRIES ON WITH PROGRESSING DEGREGATION

MAINTAINING AND BREEDING YEARS OF LOW CLASS GENERATIONS

AND INSTEAD OF LEARNING THE AMMUNITION OF TECHNOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY

THERE IS CONTINUED DROPPING OUT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL ONLY TO ENHANCE THE FORMATION AND FRUSTRATION OF 'GANGOLOGY' AND ITS GANG COLONIES

YO MAN!  HATE TO SOUND LIKE A REPEAT-QUACK

BUT WHAT'S UP WITH DAT ! ! !

GETTIN' TIRED OF BEING TAKEN BACK

YAH! IT WAS EASY ACHIEVIN' A DRINK, A HEAD FULLA PCP AND/OR CRACK

FOR THAT ONE MOMENT WE WAS HELLA FAT

AGAIN AND AGAIN LIFE TAKES CONTROL AND STEPS ON US LIKE A DOE MAT

WONDER IF AT 13 PLUS YEARS OLD IS ANYONE READY TO MAKE TO MAKE A REAL COMBACK?

DON'T KNOW 'BOUT YA' BUT I'M GETTIN' THE HELL OUTTA THIS DAMN SHACK!

 YA'LL DOWN AT WELFARE AND IN THE STREETS OF NOWHERE CAN KEEP YO YACKETY YACK

‘CAUSE I AIN'T GONNA BE PART OF THAT CENTURIES OLD, WITH NO BENEFITS ATTACHED, FAKE CONTRACT

AND THAT MY YOUNG BROTHAS AND SISTAS SLATED TO BECOME TOMORROW'S LEADERS IS STRAIGHT UP FACT! ! !
