05/27/08 - DX - The Hip-Hop Paradox

DXavier23 · 05-27-2008, 09:01 PM

Niggas hate when you make it and escape from the war
Im from a hood where you hafta save up to be poor
The streets are watchin me, dont want me eatin properly
They rather me be like my niggas who are deep in poverty
Who get beat by cops in streets, cant keep their property
Since they cant beat the lottery, they proceed to robberies
Yet they get caught, no lawyers, nobody to spot em the bail
So they rot in the jail, with everybody to acknowledge you failed
Your insurance curtailed, cause you had a criminal record
So when your baby sick, you cant go to the clinic to check her
You try and find a physician to write a prescription
But since you aint got the money, nobody would listen
Since your bread is thin, you feel that your led to sin
So you go to the pharmacy to steal the medicine
The alarm sets off, so you escape from the buildin
Willing to sacrifice yourself, for the sake of your children
Your daughters grabbing onto you and hysterically crying
As your being dragged back to jail where your numerically dying
Ive been through it all, thats how I can speak with wisdom
You try and try but its impossible to beat the system
Even if your belief is Christian, your not exempt from this
I should mention this, Im not a rapper you should attempt to diss
Pay no attention to haters, as I ascend as your savior
I put my pen to the paper, and it went into labor
Giving birth to knowledge that's true to the soul
That will provide solace like soup in a bowl
To improve is the goal, but I must depict these harsh realities
But some rappers creativity is constricted by their salaries
They bread junkies, but can I blame their addiction
If they find fame better than shame and eviction
As I ask myself, is this one major contradiction
I thought the goal was to escape the affliction
So by my logic, Its better to be in the projects than a mansion
When I preach that the object is progress and advancement
Is it a mistake to be dissing, rappers who are successful
If they rhyme about their lives, that are that less stressful
Do I become a hater, like the folks I have disdain for
The ones who rather you broke and complain more
And walking out the same door, with the stained floor
From the splattered blood of a victim from a chainsaw
Do we prefer pain or , rain, than joy and sunshine
And rather see you destroyed than become shrined
The throne of hip hop as been void for sometime
So they ask me to step in to exploit the dumb minds
Avoid the gun crimes and dont give into pressure
Or mix business with pleasure, let me finish my lecture
To the youth, they say hes shrewd and hes clever
Spitting the truth that will allow you to do better
I give sight to the blind , as I write this song
Its like whats wrong is right, and whats right is wrong
They rather see you locked in a pen, then on a yacht wit your friends
Tryna put a stop to this trend, and bring this paradox to an end

wow....DX, i gotta say homie, u amaze me more and more with every drop. shit like this is why i said you were the best up and comer on this whole site. multies were executed to perfection.....the content was hard-hitting. dope drop.

Chow Mien Gunna · 05-29-2008, 07:44 PM

dis was pretty decent...concept coulda been a lil mor on point tho....multies n flow was good...u got a ne vocab...mabe u should try usin punchlines mor,it would fit doit ur style

Lil Brizzle · 05-31-2008, 12:10 AM

this was pretty decent.....good flow.....concept and multies werent as good as what ive seen from u before.....but its still a good piece.....stay up.....

Haterz · 05-31-2008, 05:46 PM

this was good, was on sum real shit...would rather hear it on audio then reading it though lol

J~Souljah · 05-31-2008, 07:11 PM

Niggas hate when you make it and escape from the war
nice line...good set up for the next...im lookin for elaboration in the next

Im from a hood where you hafta save up to be poor
that was funny...in a sense like "damn i that's real...i know how it feels"..kind of a komedik sense of reality...multie was off tho lol

The streets are watchin me, dont want me eatin properly
nice line...

They rather me be like my niggas who are deep in poverty
Ummm...this is where i get konfused...arent you from a poverty stricken hood?...arent you already like them?...klear this up when u see my post...good line though

Who get beat by cops in streets, cant keep their property
nice taste of reality but i have the same question as the line before it

Since they cant beat the lottery, they proceed to robberies
nice...true...but if niggaz is as poor as u deskribed them...i dont think they would waste money on lottery ticketz

Yet they get caught, no lawyers, nobody to spot em the bail
they have publik defenders = )...but they're a joke lol...nice line...also true

So they rot in the jail, with everybody to acknowledge you failed
nice use of multies...that kaught my eye....for the sake of klarity...koulda said "forced to acknowledge"...and placed that komma after everybody...but sick line

Your insurance curtailed, cause you had a criminal record
harsh reality that's on going....sick line

So when your baby sick, you cant go to the clinic to check her
sad...sick line..o so true..plenty of options tho

You try and find a physician to write a prescription
ok transitioning into the next line

But since you aint got the money, nobody would listen
money is power..with no power u have no voice...good shit...sick line

Since your bread is thin, you feel that your led to sin
sick shit...good ass story telling so far

So you go to the pharmacy to steal the medicine
well...im pretty sure shelf medikations wouldnt help but yea dude is paniking now....good line

The alarm sets off, so you escape from the buildin
nice...what's next...

Willing to sacrifice yourself, for the sake of your children
nice line...i know the feeling

Your daughters grabbing onto you and hysterically cryin
As your being dragged back to jail where your numerically dying
Ive been through it all, thats how I can speak with wisdom
You try and try but its impossible to beat the system
Even if your belief is Christian, your not exempt from this
