lirik lagu vthov - hip hip and violence

[pre~intro]
hip~hop emerges out of the american ice age
it’s reaganism
it’s obsession with material toys
it’s being indifferent to the suffering of the most vulnerable among us

[intro: the beatles]
let it be, let it be
a~let it be, let it be
whisper words of wisdom
let it be

let it be, let it be
a~let it be, let it be
whisper words of wisdom
let it be

[verse 1: vthov]
i’m not rollin’, rollin’ like a big shot
i make some money, but sometimes it’s hard to make the rent, doc
and even if i can’t ever make that cris pop
buy a rolex wristw~tch or cruise the seas in big yachts

i’m still blessed, i may stress, but i still keep my chin locked
towards the sky, close your eyes and feel the wind, doc
the media wants me to serve yay and tote big glocks
but i don’t sell poison, so the media can kick rocks
when vinthoven’s flowin’, he goes in and spits hot
a.k.a. vthov by definition, i’ll still rock
…the mic until i’m called home
…or this world of sin stops

grateful for so much, don’t even know where to begin
i’ve never been a pimp; to me, my girl is heaven~sent
i’ll take her to the beach so that we can watch the ships dock
plus, i know my friends got my back in any situation
whether i’m getting jumped in real life or on playstation

and my family, see they’ll stick with you
things go bad, friends diss you, even when the world’s against you
my mother pushed me hard to expand my mental
she’s still pushing me today to reach my max potential

i love my people, y’all—they done a lot for me
my uncles taught me how to pray and give god the glory
grandma, aunties, and cuzzos—yeah, they all support me
i saved my dad for last so i could tell y’all a story

all you need to know is one day i lied
the ass whoopin’ that he gave me probably saved my life
that’s an investment, see, it brought out the best in me
taught me some integrity—he kicked my ass and let it be
[chorus: the beatles]
let it be, let it be
a~let it be, let it be
whisper words of wisdom
let it be

let it be, let it be
a~let it be, let it be
whisper words of wisdom
let it be

[verse 2: vthov]
to all my people thinking i’m rapping the wrong way
try having this song play when you having a long day
to all my thugs and gangstas that’s blasting and don’t play
with a ski mask and a cold face, try laughing—it’s okay

to all my fly people, having it your way
see, swagging is okay, but try fasting and go pray
labels stacking up more cake by having me be fake
is like asking for oj made by smashing up old grapes

it’s senseless—this song’s for the kids who are defenseless
they listening to much of what we mention while we spittin’
the polarity is shifting from negative to positive
i just hope they witness ‘fore they serve a prison sentence
i may not be the start of it, but i’ma be a part of it
it’s really not that hard to spit, coming from the heart with it
fresh outta fam, summa cum laude
can’t afford no d~mn bugatti

but if y’all try to stop me
i’ll come like a d~mn tsunami
so yes, i’m ridin’ high, and yes, i’m ridin’ cool
yes, i wear a grill sometimes, and yes, i still made a’s in school

so you can’t tell me nothin’ if you tryin’ to judge me
on appearances—you don’t have the clearances
helen keller asked, “n~gga, are you hearin’ this?”
bill goldberg flow—i’m spearin’ this

my music is furious, leaving y’all delirious
i don’t tote them thangs, but y’all still gon’ take me serious
my mother used to wake me up with oldies, man, especially
this song sung by teddy p—he’s one of the best to me

may he always rest in peace—this is what it said to me:
“the world won’t get no better if we just let it be.”

[chorus: the beatles]
let it be, let it be

[bridge 1]
america mainstream is obsessed with black creative g~nius for music, walk style
but at the same time, puts a low priority on the black social misery
which is the very context out of which that creativity flows

[bridge 2]
yeah, really sad
we’re talking about somebody who’s just 22 years old
carol, in the hip~hop community, is just reeling
following the murder of m~bone, who was a member of the group cali swag district
which brought us the huge hit, “teach me how to dougie.”

[bridge 3]
the 16~year~old honor student was attacked last week
on his way home from fenger high school, where he was a soph0m~re
the teen was struck on the head twice by several people holding wooden planks

[bridge 4]
he says he’s going to strike at the next man who walks by
and that young man just so happens to be 18~year~old bobby tillman
a total of four young men are charged with brutally stomping and beating tillman to death

{part two ~ violence (a day in the life vmix)}

[intro: the beatles]
i read the news today, oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
and though the news was rather sad
well, i just had to laugh
i saw the photograph

i read the news today, oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
and though the news was rather sad
well, i just had to laugh
i saw the photograph

[verse 1: vthov]
every time i pick up the paper, my heart bleeds ’cause dark things
ripping up through the layers like some shark t~~th, my art speaks
to plant some grassroots through the sharp weeds and spark dreams
but everybody wants to be part thug, part g, or barbie and start beef

when we should be closer than sardines
to me, y’all lookin’ like some ducks—darkwing
i’m hoping to make it clear for those starving
it hardly makes a difference whether you livin’ up in the ghetto or them rvs

that’s a euphemism for trailer, refuse to give in to the haters
on youtube getting the views, but up in the booth, you lackin’ the flavor
the youth are making a wager; the truth is they need a savior
after doing all we can do, all we need to do is give them our prayers

and lead them by example with samples of our intelligence
invest in them ample time and they can even be president
but bossman dangles the keys to the lambo, and we say to h~ll with it
gamble, then dismantle their chances of being relevant

but i’ma make a stand—i’m not well with it
i told lucifer, “my soul—i’m not selling it!”
whatever happened to excellence?
martin luther and malcolm x?

i’m pushing you out of the falcon’s nest
i think you can fly, and the ground is the test
turn on your tv, watch the news today
well, who’s to blame? that i refuse to say

a few would claim that rappers are due to fame
but they are just p~wns used in a useless game
our kids are fragile, crystals in a huge display
and shattering them is a game that i refuse to play

so if this song gets no plays or views today
at least i used my gifts to try to help them through the pain
use their brain to free themselves and do the same
i knew that a lion can’t reign through the cage

so here’s a toast to having greatness, tenacity, and patience
wisdom to remain gracious, even if we make the a~list
my budget may be makeshift, but i’ll make it to your playlist
i have to do it for the kids who didn’t make it

to 2011, walking through clouds in the heavens
positivity getting me new clout with my brethren
truly, i believe an idea is unstoppable
so when you speak truth, stand up and make it audible

if success, for you, seems very improbable
a miracle is god’s chance to do the impossible

[chorus (outro): the beatles]
i read the news today, oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
and though the news was rather sad
well, i just had to laugh
i saw the photograph

i read the news today, oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
and though the news was rather sad
well, i just had to laugh
i saw the photograph
