Creation 4: In Plain-View

Bagels and Lox, Always new right from the box
Louie Louie, Gucci Gucci, Fendi Fendi Prada
Everyone's got it but nobody owns OWNS it
Drive it, buy it, don't let them find it!
"I don't need loans, my Daddy owns the bank"
uh-oh that crack in your mask is getting bigger
Nails done, hair done, everythin' did, o you fancy huh? you sure THINK you are
Private school, public photos, yeah I just got that new one
Let's peak behind the mask
Oh you don't have power? Well I have a generator to charge apple tv..ipad...iPhone and three ipods
It all comes down. what's that? you're parents got a divorce?
Yeah I bet your Daddy did buy you that diamond bracelet, but he doesn't come home does he?
And your mom probably wears the same jeans you do but that crack's filled with a little extra Botox.
You're not happy. You know what's going on. How much does YOUR love cost?
Well...I know how much mine is...its FREE! Cuz I'm not spoiled.
My family isn't poor but we dont need a generator power the jacuzzi and keep the tanning bed bright.
You guys suck! "By the way I want mine toasted"...
Yeah this town doesn't have the worst stereotype of the litter but it sure does make me bitter.
15 year old alcoholics, 12 year old whores. Your mom's off doing the same shit.
Just make sure your Dad brings her back a scooped out low-carb whole wheat bagel with low fat cream cheese from Gold n' Meyers when he gets back from his "business trip"... that should go down smooth as butter.
But you'll just get that lypo-ed won't you?
MY family loves me with hugs and kisses, support and encouragement-
NOT those new uggs, and make sure that's a macbook PRO for all that time he spends with his girlfriend over you.
You're mom "doesn't know" well MY mom does!
and instead of fighting over who gets to watch that apple tv tonight...MY family will be playing cards by candlelight. making memories...
They'll clean up the branches together and not hire "THOES" people to do it.
And SHE'LL make a barbecue and it will be the best. night. ever.
Nah you don't have to pick us up some bagels we got our own.

Critique 5: Nobody talks about the positives in hip hop

I agree that nobody talks about the positives in hip hop. I think hip hop has created an essential sub culture to inner cities and struggling teens. I think hip hop is a "god sent" to these communities by helping to keep kids off the street and be creative. It gives these kids a new way to channel their energy in a positive way. Hip hop gives these kids hope and the successful artists give them someone to look up to. The music is therapeutic in general, and this is the music of their communities. Even to those people not living in impoverished areas, hip hopis a relatively new type of music that is extremely popular with teens and young adults and its power should not be taken for granted. A lot of rappers and artists in the industry have charities to help these struggling kids and people who look up to them. I do not believe rap adds to the violence or negativity, I think it just makes it more prevalent in the media and the reality more readily available to those who do not live in those areas. Rappers really make it a point to give back to their communities and remember where they came from. Even when natural disasters occur, they hold benefit concerts and donate to charity.

Creation 3: Caught

Watchin' TV on that usual grind,
marijuana in my unusual mind.
Bang! Bang! on the door, it's an unusual time,
Cop at the door, that's who we're gonna find!
"Open that door before I open it for you!"
Get that towel out the door before he finds a clue
Bloodshot eyes and she cries "I'm Sorry!"
Hopefully he doesn't turn around and find that Bacardi

"I roll up I roll up, Whenever you call baby I roll up"

"Gimme everything you got, especially the pot"
We looked at eachother, we had a lot.
Gettin' nervous for my friends, especially Scott.
Background check's clean so he doesn't arrest us.
but he thinks he's a big shot, lookin for a mug shot, but we got off by a long shot.
Heart's pounding, anxiety, screwed by society.
Needing some sobriety, but i gotta calm down,
Cop's off with out weed, what do we do now?

Creation 2: Ramblin' in my Head

I am stressed by the best,
but freed by the weed.
Bleed, cry, and scream!
You better get that work done to get thoes grades,
to make that money,
to buy thoes cars, bars...greed!
but it always come down to the weed.
Lead! leader of the pack- take another crack at it and never look back.
Reach your goals, don't let it hold you down
now let's start the countdown, be a clown and leave town, 3,2,1.
Bud, flash flood, of ideas.
Invention, find another dimesion, more tension.
Mara wants ta', get this fucking work done already!
