Hip-hop the air that i breathed, the songs I inhaled as my daily bread. O hip-hop, how you took away my innocence, and introduced me to words of profanity and to indulge in promiscuity.
When i felt alone out here on my own, you played the father role, when i was down you gave me songs that expressed how i felt
O hip-hop
You have captivated the minds of the youths, not to mention the blood on the hands of the youths
Hip-hop, you said degrading women was the norm
So I did not regard them in any shape or form.
O how your influence has sanction some in into a mental institution. You brought me into the game of which you call hustling, and to be money driven.
You turned my heart cold, i wouldn’t hesitate to take the life of the young or the old.
You saw my vulnerability and took away my liberty
Hip-hop, you came to steal my mind, kill my dreams and destroy my life.
Who can I tell? where did I fail? It's cold and lonely stuck in this jail cell.
