I might get shot

Misunderstanding misrepresenting

Missing the point

 

Rolling down to LA

Car full of Kripples

Our politics, art & music we will display

 

Pop pop pop we might get shot

Wearing our politics on our sleeves

Goes deeper than what you can feel and see

 

Krip-Hop telling the story

Behind our name

Taking it back & we are not ashamed

 

Respecting the crips

Telling it like it is

Reclaiming what was ours in the beginning

 

Turning it inside out

But some will yell and shout

How we are disrespecting & pimping

 

From Blues to Hip-Hop honoring what got us here

Time for you to learn

Drop the guns & put your hands in the air

 

Krip-Hop schooling on the mic

No more fear no more staring

Educating/Advocating through music, poetry and comedy

 

Krip-Hop in Hollywood

On the corner in the hood

Behind a podium in LACC’s Classrooms

 

Fuck the fame

But we will have our own star on the Walk Of Fame

Once again, Krip-Hop goes deeper than a name

 

For all the Blind musicians who were ripped off

For the Latino break-dancer on crutches whom wasn’t mention in the movie Breakin

For Vernon Green who walked and sang on the streets of the Watts in the 50’s

 

Krip-Hop giving dues that is long over due

If you can’t understand than you must be a fool

We have no time for u we will go on doing what we do

 

Because it is bigger then I and you

Time for Spring Cleaning

Washing out old attitudes

 

Rolling down to LA in early May

Car full of Kripples

Our politics, art & music we will display

By Leroy Moore For Krip-Hop Nation’s gig in LA in May 2011
