A. As someone who loves hip hop, warts and all, I know the power it has to change lives and give meaning in otherwise meaningless and hopeless circumstances, as well as highlight and begin to destroy the inequities of society. This is a power that can make changes for the better. However, I fear that if hip hop begins to stake a claim as a new form of religious worship and belief, the rules, dogma, hypocrisy, lies, idolatry and inequality that pervades organised religion will also pervade hip hop.    

I'm shinin' like that, every summer blood Every winter want a hug, want a fuck Wanna love lover's luck Want a silver dollar, wanna hold 20 bucks Had a dream I won a million bucks Still it never felt better than when I felt her butt.. On my knees fell to God, thank you for my broken heart Thank you for my Noah's Ark, thank you for the coldest parts Hey yo, I thank you from the bottom of the bucket where the totem starts What if somebody sold his heart Would you read it if he speaks it? Jesus Would you peep it if he leaked it? I had the homie push eject on a secret like keep it I'm looking at my future as I'm gifted That's a hella-fi remix of how I used to see shit Now I'm every day stay deep with it Saw the future, told the homie keep winning, when it doubt Still finish, bottom line gotta eat I was 6 when I played Jesus Nowadays I could play a demon Back in my mind, hear my ma' speaking, to a kingpin From an ink-pin, asking he then, what he believed in Good Jesus

“They say signs of the end is near, I wonder can I walk a righteous path holdin a beer?”
