Where did rap go wrong
it started out as rythym rags in stacatto song
droppin' words like bitch and dog
runnin' homies in confrontation to the law
connectin' all the dots you need to draw
wearin' your pants down low
to show that you were not the snitch in the grey bar row
where did rap go wrong
it started out as stacatto song
8 mile had a lot of rabbit style
double dutch wuz a culture we could touch
turn the page, hold the floor and engage
we are poets who want to rage
holdin' royal court here on stage
Brooklyn, Jersey, Long Island and LA
raise the roof cause here's what I want to say
rock, soul, blues and jazz was king
now it all seems to be about the bling bling
where did rap go wrong
looking for some suave moods to pimp this thing
some wild threads and some magic shoes
bring in some rythym and let's start to move
come on let me see you groove
no time for regection
it's not a question of natural selection
goin' down to the ground
risin' up to the sound
where did rap go wrong
it got way far too long and overbearing
not enough about caring
yeah, where did rap go wrong
i guess to begin with
it is this song!
