[Tupac Shakur]

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

IMPOSSIBLE for you not to see how strong rap has gotten

Y'knowhatI'msayin, it'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 teachin, we need to start doin that

We we really need to start usin, our methods, y'knowhatI'msayin?

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

Y'knowhatI'mssayin, and so like you say, history repeats itself

And so.. it it was, it was.. at it was, y'know obvious

It was, pick it up, y'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
