Rap Songs

Remember the time every rapsong

Featured the phrase, 'break o' dawn?'

Those days are so long gone

Reminds me I ain't so young no mo.

Back then school was so much fun

We thrummed our desks like wooden drums

And did our own rap sing-a-longs

World classroom blackboard hit songs.

We sang songs of a better world

All 'round school it was the same song;

Cruising the hood in our droptops

Taking walks smelling like big bucks,

The moments we shared was the bomb

And our bubble bust with that bomb.

School dreams are mere dreams that dissolved

The moment we stepped out the door;

That is what life and fate taught us

Experience witnessed to the dot.

It's the love of folks and dear God

And self that keep us keeping on.
