V1: Dear Hip-Hop, it's me, your foster child, I'm writin this cuz I feel we should sit and talk awhile, It may sound like I'm crazy, But I feel like your baby, Spent more time with you than my own folk So it's just like you raised me, You taught me how to walk, said I should have "swag". You taught me how to dress, that's why I let my pants sag. You taught me how to be a man like I ain't have a dad. You taught me how to talk, that's why my grammer bad. You taught me self-defense, a lil rule of thumb, You said you never wanna fight, son, use a gun. See, when you use a gun? You ain't gotta respect em, You just talk to em how you want, then pull it out and check em, You told me women ain't ish but ho's and tricks, And never to love em, just cut em, move on and dip. You never told me what to do if I slip and have a kid, All I remember is the cars and whips, And if I see my brother get done wrong, then just, Turn your back and let it happen, but don't you snitch, You taught me that "hard" and "real" were the same thang, Like you're real if you got the heart to kill then you gang-bang. You never told me if I take his life, his pain is for a second, But it's ever present in his baby's life.
Hook: Dear hip-hop, let's get back to the music, Dear hip-hop, before we fall right through it, I thought you had my best interests, maybe not, So I'm writin' this letter to tell you, thanks alot.
V2: (Shade) I wonder what happened to the times I went through depression Free, now my life is under repossesion I still ask questions about what is my purpose is? If you are in the fatal industry, become a star or a rotting carcass Record labels waiting for you like a dog waiting for a bone There are do's and don't, say one thing wrong, you are thrown from the throne Hang on... I'm just so mad/ about these fakes talking about a deadbeat dad/ I put my problems on a sketch pad Doing this while still being a student, trying to keep my life free from bad influence Trying to keep/ My life away from the mutant nuisance/ And these people are trying to ruin/ my life like a smoke propelled pollutance/ I'm tired of Drk pushing back my improvement Now I'm biskits pupil, attempting my hardest to be proven I've got a master plan, now I'm waiting for the electric execution I'm not stopping, on a constant course of binomial distribution This freaky pyramid syndrome waiting on it's own counterrevolution My resolution is to be on a constant state of retribution!

V3: Dear hip-hop, I met my real father, He said he loved me and he missed me, And I'm not forgotten. He left me tons of messages, But I must not have got em, Huh. When I was just a youngin, You told me daddy left, But I read a check that said he's always been at that adress, He said it's me who left him, he just respected my choice, You showed my candy and toys, and I was just a boy, He told me love a woman, protect and provide, You told me if I love her, than it's only for a night, He said to speak up for justice, And thinkin' your weak when speakin' on evil Is the reason that the streets are lethal, He told me love my brother, almost like what you said, But what you said is if he look at me wrong I could bust his head, He said his son is worht anything, to serve God or money, You told me money over everything. He said it's never too late to come and join the family, That they've been waitin for me and would love to have me, And that's the point of this letter so that you could know that this note was simply written to tell you, I'm goin' home.

| Thanks y'all. This was just a "letter" I wrote to the Hip-Hop industry as a whole. It's really gotten to the point where death, violence, drugs, etc. are every day life. |

| Yup. That last verse, I probably shouldn't have used it on this song. Like, improve it and maybe one day use it on somethin else. I loved Shade's verse though. It was much better than my last verse. |

| All the verses sucked. You suck. You don't rap, just because you're black (which I doubt you are) does not mean that you have a natural gift for rapping, so stop being presumptuous. |
