Redemption, ltr. 19

Those of us, who continue to catch hell by this messed up system, it compels me to see the world no longer as a fightless victim, but as someone who can make a difference, on a mission to organise others, and to call out any and all sucker MC's not contributing something beneficial to the struggle, where my lyrics will be the end to their careers and lame ideas, of how they want to continue putting out whack albums all based on material stuff, instead of fighting for the goal of creating a world where there is no oppression and exploitation in our lives, because this racist system has no future for the people, but instead pits us against one another in the most destructive form as we are still being treated as slaves and our women as concubines, holding us accountable to everything wrong in our community because music can either liberate or incarcerate, as some of the most popular music of today literally supports the fuel which run the engines of the prison industrial complex, and prisons are no longer concerned with reformed minds, they now warehouse the bodies of incarcerated minds, refusing to rehabilitate us prisoners, in not wanting us to think about reintegrating back into society, but instead, they want to continue sentencing us to unjust extensive time for non-violent crimes, so they can keep us off the streets, because the public school systems are the exact replica of institutions not teaching anything, as everybody not saying anything, in feeling this the way it's got to be, watching businesses profit of popular music of today, throwing away our money in the system not ran by our community, where sucker MCs are thinking because they sold some whack records, it's cool to glamorise this materialistic world we're living in as we can no longer trust anybody, because it's nobody's fault but ours to be placed in leadership roles, able to educate and influence the world with our misc, in order to enlighten the most forgotten people into a new realm of supreme consciousness, bringing about new awe - inspiring ways for us rappers to either get on some more positive music, or witness how destructive the people will become in wanting to live this fictitious American dream, and we not be respected, no matter how much money we accumulate, because the racist system will still want to get over on us, not caring about anything in our community that happens, so that we never get ahead in this world, in being where we are all supposed to be at, in striving to be the best...
