Right now, it is it is almost.. it is almost... uhh...

IMPOSSIBLE for you not to see how strong rap has gotten

You know what I'm sayin'! t's it's like umm..

Our our brothers and sisters, our youths, and some of our adults

Their ear is PINNED to rap music right now

And if you really wanna get our message out

And really wanna start teaching, we need to start doing that

We we really need to start using, our methods

You know what I'm sayin'!

The Last Poets did it with poetry

And uhh, and and.. even in our history

From a ancient Afl- African civilization

Poets went from village to village

And that's how, stories and messages and lessons were taught

You know what I'm sayin'! And... so, like you say, history repeats itself!

And so.. it... it was, it was... at it was, you know, obvious!

It was, pick it up, you know?

Bein' the race that we are, bein' the strong race that we are!

We picked it up, we picked up those positive, those positive vibes

and we started rappin' and... so I think it is, it's a very good medium too!
