Divided by their distinct sound They hound and pound Through the soul Like an amplified heartbeat Rock is like heat to the eardrum Burns faster than veld fire Its thunder That comes from the eletric guitar Echoing the eardrum like horror Rock is an addiction to drugs Like Jimmy Hendrix Rock is Elvis Presley The Beatles Not forgetting Greenday Hip hop is culture Born in the swarthy ghettoes of New York A platform of expression Through dance,graffitti And the curse of bling bling Hip hop is Afeni Shakur A black panther Who gave birth to a ghetto king in a thugs mansion Like Hendrix and Presley Pac fullfiiled his resonant legency By dying young Hip hop is battle Through b boy Hip hop is poetry If you know Saul Williams Tumi from the volume Who looked at music With a microscopic good eye Hip hop is I will disrepect you,and still make you mine Hip hop is drugs and alcohol Hip hop is Wealth,ask Jayz
