You Got Away, Not No More
Blues to Hip-Hop you got away
Blind Blues singers
Break-dancers on crutches
You got away
The abuse of classical pianist, Blind Tom in 1862
The arrest of Blind Willie Johnson in New Orleans
The rip off of Ray Charles in the early days
Singing, "Look what they've done to my song, Ma"
You got away
The excuses, oh my god the excuses!
"We don't know how to market you!"
"No one will buy a record from a person in a wheelchair!"
You got away
Like KRS One said "You Must Learn!"
But hell KRS One needs to fellow his own advice
Musicians using ablest lyrics while burying the N word
Creating a whole movement by putting us down, Hyphy
You got away
Lets stay in the Bay Area
From Robert Winters on crutches
To Blind Joe Casper in his Oakland Hills studio
Not paying respect to our elders
You got away
Liberal to Clear Channel radio Djs
Blues scholars to Hip-Hop journalists
Where are our news, music and culture?
You got away not no more!
The I is easy to crush and ignore
Krip-Hop & Homo-Hop diversifying Hip-Hop
More than individual record deals, clothing lines & videos
It's called a movement
No more getting away with discriminating ways
Are we too at fault?
Leaving the music industry to educate their selves
Falling in the same patterns back to the Blues era segregation, Race Records
Today we are caught up in the identity-boxing ring
Fighting each other
Who's the audience?
The same people who stole culture from street corners
"Many don't want to be pidgin whole!"
I keep on hearing that from my people but it goes deeper than a label
Taking back what is ours in our own language
Putting the industry on notice
Independent, making mixtapes in our section eight apartments
Crip with C to Krip with K has a positive history in music
From the late 1880s to today
Cripple Clarence Lofton to The CrippleCrew of Norway

Taking Krip-Hop music & their stories to the big screen
Documentaries speaking truth to the industry
With butter popcorn and a political soundtrack
Summons the music & media production to trail
Krip-Hop Kurtroom ruled, "You got away not no more!"
