I often drift and wonder why hip hop isn't music in other people's eyes Its despised because they can't relate to what's played on the wax or on stage These bars are straight from our heart to the page Then delivery from the vocal chords to the mic in the booth and then we drop the album and pay our dues Like DJ Clue mixing up the tapes for those trying to make it off of pen play and rhyme I find when you're new money with an old soul you're less despised, but despite the critcism of the science of lyricism hip hop will always be unique, for there are many genres of music but hip hop truly is the poetry of the streets
