Rap criminal
without committin' a crime
If you're gonna diss The Man
Then be prepared to do some time
Out of school
For breaking the unwritten rule:
"Don't criticize your elders
Even when they act the fool"
I say, break it
If there's a punishment
Then take it
It's OK to find
your discontent
And awake it
And bring it out
Into the form of a song
And hand it out to your friends
To sing along
There's nothing wrong
With a little verbal fit
We all have anger
It's what you do with it
that really matters
And writing it down is fine
Given a choice, I'd rather
see it line by line
Than blow by blow
Or even shot by shot
I think we can all agree on that
Maybe not
