Going off (poem for my mom)

Get that old stuff out of here
They say
Hip-hop is there
And its not going anywhere
They say
Hip-hop is here to stay
But my mind is the other way

Take it back a few years
Before biggie and PAC
Before the tears
Back to when Micheal was black
And weaves were whack

Back to James brown
And the hand jive
Back to Run DMC
And the Jackson 5

When words weren't about
How many girls, cars and chains you got
Or how they getting money
Cause back in the day
10grand was a 20

So take a look back
Listen to the vibe
Show these new school punks
Old school is alive

They didn't hop out the bed
and turn their swag on
They hopped out the bed thinking
INSPIRATION

So learn a few things
Take a break
Turn your swag off
Then maybe that money
Will actually be yours
