I Want You In My World Like Hip Hop

You got me bumping in my gut to your spiritual beat

I think I'm falling for your voice because it makes me complete

You feed that poetry to me when I'm weak & hungry

You got me up all night when I need to be sleep

You were born in New York & then you spread to Chicago

I met you watching 'The Box' when I was seven years old

You taught me how to hustle & to make it alone

You were the only one there when everyone else was gone

I remember late at night how we would get it on

You had me dancing in my room

Music blasting in my headphones

You didn't abuse me

You taught me about Africa & religion

While others got high...I stayed low chilling

Remembering what you showed me about my people & how life is not about the riches

But instead you taught me the difference between love & catching feelings

I'm talking about Hip Hop

The soul that the youth is missing

The back bone to love, home, & peace

Before cute dances got up in it
Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees, Pete Rock & CL Smooth,
Nas, Biggie, The Roots, Gang Starr, Wu Tang Clan

Common, Lupe, Mos Def, Rakim

Talib Kweli & Jam Master Jay

I love you Hip Hop

You saved the day

I want more of you in a serious way

I want you back in my life like Public Enemy on the stage

I want you in my world like Hip Hop

Just like back in the day....
