Inspirational Rap-Lyrics

[Alfonso Crawford]

I just felt like highlighting some rap-lyrics I find uplifting and/or impactful. Any rap-fans in the audience are—of course—encouraged to contribute their own favorite bits!

They say “an eye for an eye, we both lose our sight”
And “two wrongs don't make a right.”
But when you been wronged,
And you know all along that it's just one life,
At what point does one fight?

You are a sacred being of light, projected into reality for a purpose! Demand the right to your moment in this holographic gift; with no rules, no borders, except for those you choose to accept and live by.

We're living in a world gone mad;
A crazy world; a world where death is a way of life.
Every day we read of atrocities that numb the brain,
But I believe to deny what is insane
Or to try to flee from it is to submit to it;
To be at the mercy of it, when you should just study it!
To enjoy life!

I betcha there aren't alot of rap-fans, here.

Wave to the kid, don't hop on the fence.

Tupac Hit em up. Ehm... maybe not inspirational actually

So it must be Afroman colt 45.... Oh no still not that

I'm no good at this

[Dave Kaminski]

Listen to the artist Immortal Technique for some truth, delivered no B.S. akin to Steve's style.

We are all here for a reason on a particular path
You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental
Vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you of my many inspirations
When I say I can't let you or self down
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clenched on to your life in my grip
I would never, ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out
