Redemption, ltr. 11

They wanna label me a menace to society, by refusing to let me out of prison/ ad-seg, so I can't be able to kick the fundamentals with my tribe, because I am on a very confused and racist unit, that wanna mess over my people, denying my legal of visits, to keep me incarcerated inside the belly of the beast, where I witness how correctional officers are corrupt like the police, who smile in your face to stab you in the back, showing up to your court trials to testify lies against me, Fearing that I will get free to inspire todays youth to control their own destiny, because I'm a real gangster individual, ambitious, resourceful rapper, reporting on large, visible topics that happen in my everyday struggle, extremely confident in my persona I often present to the world, which most other rappers seek acceptance and love, but easily become angry, not having the talent to destroy a juggernaut like me, who has the drive to succeed and then intense desire to overcome these obstacles, because they got me doing time in one of the worst racist segregated states there is, trying to silence a gangster from speaking-out about the many injustices carries out on my people, by giving endless lyrics on the mic, to resolve conflicts of what's going on in this hip-hop struggle, where our oppressors don't want us to be where we at, tripping-out off the fact, that in a revolutionary soldier at the front lines of the movement, seen by my enemies as a non-stop nuisance in how we are striving to be the greatest, because we are a thriving unpredictable force, proving our critics wrong, as I turn on my activism to rapping about causes that will spell bind my fans, because no one on the corner have got a swagger like me, in becoming determined to take a different route than other rappers, who are brainwashed by the system, selling out for money, and whenever possible, I set out to annihilate sucka-MCs by experimenting with techniques, metaphors, lyrics, and practices aimed at transformation, so people can't help but be influenced by my untames gorrilla insights about the struggle. I will die for, because this hip-hop movement has emerged into the world's largest influence of our sophistication since the early 1900's, and perhaps the first time in history, we got concepts such as self-discovery, personal growth, and even self-transcendence, with rappers becoming legitimate mob figures with aspirations, as I came up out of the ghettos, going by the monkey? S.D., up in the studio everyday with deeper lyrics than John Lennon, knocking it with rapping in which our struggles are related, who are committed to excellence, that we are courageous enough to keep seeking more of the truth about ourselves, our history and culture being covered if, however difficult that it might be, SD all the next generations after us, feel what we did, was the truth.
