about

Why I write . . .

lyrics

I don't right for the struggle I don't right for the hustle, I write for the lovers and I write for the mothers / of a generation lost in space and time, I know its hard, we're all wishin things were better, and some will look to god / and whatever works I ain't knocking it, honest kid, genesis, apocalypse, we are all in this / together, whether or not u can see that its the truth in my rhymes, in the paper through the lines / I find, a reason to keep going, this is mine, in time I will shine like the rest of my kind / we are poets, artists, writers, martyrs, workers, fathers, sisters, hardships / are shown in each and every one of us, but you can still us smiling, each every one of us / we are optimists, let's rise optimus, prime let's climb, and keep going to the top of this

I don't write for the rappers, I don't write for the actors, I write for the seekers who seek the next chapter / but no one knows what's coming after, so I write for the hope see laughter / love, peace, fun, is what matters, the beauty in each moment i'm hoping to capture / and to each his own, some I know will seek the throne, watch, hope, not seeing that we've grown / its a culture, more than man and a mic, its more than a dj that gets the crowd hype / its not just the breakers that died overnight, and not the fat caps, piecin under street lights / its an outlet, for everyone feeling outsted, it started from people oppressed than it grew to those around them / and now its everywhere, no there's no stoppin us, lets rise and shine keep going the top of this

So who I write for? I do it for me, kick a rhyme and cool in the breeze
I do it for me I do it for me, beatbox while im moving my feet
