POS – De la Souls
I am POS I be the new generation of slaves Here to make papes off this land corporation’s rape From that life I’m tryin’ to separate But I guess I’m livin’ dreams cuz my rent’s always a month late Product of an East German Black Who kissed the neck, of a pretty woman named Grace But he left my life just a little too soon Didn’t see me catch the Doomtree fame As we go a little somethin’ like this Look mom, no protection, now I got a baby boy by the name of Jake And I been tryin’ to play the cowboy to rustle in the dough When I think I’m getting’ better every passin’ day I’m not an early bird, plus the feathers’ all black So by the time I catch an apple, usually it’s rind But it’s a must to decipher one’s girl From the round, sweet apples that are rotten on the inside I cherish my free time But I maximize so my soul needs to unwind I wanna see the stars be the moon to my son (But I’m always on the run, run, run) I fake to all these hard-case kids I raise a black fist But won’t say [nigga] in the things I write De La Souls Lyrics on And I don’t say [faggot] Cuz I don’t think it’s right I know my boy struggle with that for over half his life I guess we got our own lives to live But I’m stretched too thin, tryin’ to build a kingdom to rule And I think to the past sometimes And dag man, it’s bad, see I kinda acted like a fool But I’ve apologized to the lives that I’ve touched Wrong pride, to the back, move ahead strong But I can safely say I’ve never played a woman without …

@Vincelambargo Actually, in any genre which isn’t too constrictive, you can express yourself just as much, and the backing music will hopefully complement the message, unlike in rap, and hence make it even more meaningful.
And how do you know that you hate whatever I like? You have no idea what I like.
