I'm not good with titles, but it doesn't take away from what I'm trying to get across, I'm very straight forward. This was initially inspired by Ms. Esthero's track "We R N Need of a Musical Revolution", my son's eyes & well being, and a good convo about the flip flop wanna be hip hop bullshit with a friend. This is better vocalized, but oh well, till then this can do aye? =0)

“Play with your own score sheet, become the master of your own… For the future is in your hands, no the future is in your hand. Play with your own score sheet” -Andre Benjamin

“I’m so sick and tired of all the shit on the radio…”
A song bird releases and I release back my amen…

I sit back and I question…
The children...
What about the children?
Does anyone realize they’re force-fed empty songs?
Little girls are dippin it low, haven’t got ass wiping down packed
But they to want to-
“walk it out, and walk it out and walk it out and walk it out”
Slow down baby; take time to crawl first

Dead prez in mind…“Turn off the radio, Turn off that bullshit”!

Your empty songs lure them to dive in headfirst
They fall for your melodic holocaust
You line them up, one by one, naked
Dancing to your rhythm of self-hate
Thuggin, gangsta leanin, c walkin
To the gas chambers of their fate
Radio won’t APB to tell the little
Kings & Queens to come back
Yo, it’s NOT too late
for self-preservation!

“Turn off the radio, Turn off that bullshit”!

Mr. Bling Bling your selfish money-oriented rappin
Is trappin…
Doesn’t tickle my fancy…
Doesn’t soothe wounds in self-esteems
Doesn’t cultivate creativity
Doesn’t set captives free
Doesn’t give them the positive
Capabilities
Stability
Immobility
Solidity
Serenity
Tranquility
Harmony
Peacefully
Simply the courtesy
Of a chance to L-O-V-E…
Where’s the L-O-V-E?

When the hell did love go out of style?
That’s not what I heard from Stevie, Luther and Donny
All the while…
“Bitches ain’t shit but ho’s and tricks”
Gripped dicks hollerin cool dog shit
“This gold grill makes ya trill”
“This ice, put it on twice makes ya supa nice”
A Kanye fitness make ya 1 of the baddest bitches
And don’t forget ya Vans and Air Force Ones…

Birthing out Lost Ones

Little Queens, a phat ass doesn’t validate nor equate your beauty
It’ll never replace your womanry
I know it hurts…
Little Kings, your material possessions don’t become your self worth nor does it care to love you
Understand now
Your soul was born to the beat of another drum
un-synthesized and formed from love expressions beyond MTV’s eyes

“I’m so sick and tired of all the shit on the radio”
A songbird releases and I release back my Amen…

I concur…
I rebel
I refuse
I excel to expel
Your senseless musicals
Your soul-less
Murderous
Spineless
Careless
Loveless musicals
Will be the objects
In the fire amidst of my rain dance

Radio off with your head!
I’m taking a stand for the many ears
You’ve raped
Rewrite history
That you’re the true cause of ear infections
Have a zillion ear march that conquered and banned your bullshit

And LOVE is the poppin dance to dance
And LOVE is the poppin thing to be…
And LOVE is the poppin thing to sing
L-O-V-E be the poppin thing for eternity

“Turn off the radio, Turn off that bullshit”!

It's the support level that kills Hip Hop, that and inactive listeners. We don't do enough to change anything. The industry doesn't controle the music the people do but the people let the music be controled by the industry. It's small stuff that ads up, people shouldn't turn off the radio they should change the station. It's kind of like voting, if you don't vote it's like you don't exist to politicians and they'll just cater to the voters that are there. If you vote for another candidate then not only are they losing a vote their losing the election. If a radio station popped up that played good Hip Hop music that wasn't the bullshit we hear on stations today, and the listeners from hot97 and so on shifted to that station, the mainstream stations would be forced to switch up there playlist in order to compete. It's the same thing with artist,if enough people get behind an artist it really doesn't matter what type of music he makes the industry will pick up on him because it's not about music to them it's about money, it's about music to us so it's our responsibility. Talking about it won't change or stop it, rapping about won't, peotry about it won't, complaining about it won't. The best thing to do would be to support and gather support for artist making music we want to hear and support and gather support for radio stations playing music that we want to hear. That's too much work for most of us though, complaining is easy, it's doing something about it that's the hard part. We've got to learn how to utalize our economic power better. This isn't directed at you sis.I'm just saying.

1 child at a time because in all honesty, they're the bait constantly being swallowed up by these sharks.

I agree theirs still radio stations, locally, nationally and internationally, that have much better choices than what these commercial radio stations are playing now a days, but like you said we have to show our support and spread the word about 'em.

i liked this. its full of truth. music is so powerful whether used for elevation or destruction. i find myself quoting dead prez alot. 'turn off the radio, turn off that bullshit'. ask my sons to quote some dead prez, they will quote that line cause i say it to them all the time.

@asiaradiant
