@NickxYates 4 года назад

I feel it's because alot of hip hop is dumbed down for mainstream appeal. It's sad new generation doesn't look up to intelligent artists as they do the drugged out party animals.

Touring around the world Making money off raps Feeding your family Living in wealth Imagine that It’s hard to see It takes a lot for a person to go through In order for them to be Seen differently By the public eye They’ve lived through their negative past life And they came up Kept working Made it through all the bad times Made it through all the sad times Then it came clear To them The plan For them By god Their friend The old life they lived they can never go back to that Now they’re touring around the world Feeding their people Living in well health Imagine that.
