Hip Hop is a serious act of art. The rebellious spirit is out of oppression, not jealousy. We speak for the poor, not the power. We are from the hood, and we are the hood and we represent every single unyielding soul to power and gold. And we speak for ourselves, and for those who have been prisoned and suffered by the limitation of living and generating, we shout out. And this, this ought to be our destiny. No matter how matterless and mockable we are, we will always stand on the other side of the balance, and speak out unspeakable, righteousness. And for that, we destine.
