Can we blame our generation, subjected to gentrification?
Depicting their frustrations over ill instrumentation
'Cause music's the only way to express what you're facing
Placing young lives in front of your eyes for observation
It's time we connect with the beat of the tone for concentration
Play drum and bass instruments and drink to celebration
Reach total Euphoria and witness mass elevation
If you can't relate to my words then you've become complacent
Just like athletes today are scared to make Muhammad Ali statements
What's your view on life, bottle half full or empty?
Don't try to fill it with Hennessy 'cause it will not tempt me
Just answer the question what's your motto?
Will you lead the way or be a sheep and follow?
Education is power, power is the future
Future is our hope, so get rid of self-sorrow
Today is whenever, but children are tomorrow
Start investing in books and music, don't just borrow
I rap to hide the shadow that I call my past
Children are the only reason that my life will last
So crack on brothers an sisters, you've got a task
Don't try to hide the truth, behind your lies of a mask
Like my mother used to tell me 'After a storm there'll be sun'
Its been a long time coming
But change's going to come
Just got to keep focus on the beat of the drum
Only way to do that is look after your son

Just read this again Pinda and you do have a very strong message here , as well. You compose some brilliant raps and I agree and have always thought that music is essential in the struggle for peace and harmony and giving it to children is no.1 priority. I never cease to be amazed at your fabulous rap's . Keep 'em comin'
