The Dedication

A Poem

By Val MoorePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

This goes out to all those

who influenced me

to love true hip hop

that taught me how to appreciate

the wonders of life

through my ol'skool big ass headphones

I know ya'll remember those

This goes out to those

who influenced me

to dance and groove

while throwin my hands up

reciting all the words

I know ya'll feel me

this goes out to all those

who think hip hop is dead

true lovers of the game know that it is just beginning

cause this revolution will be televised

as the bling, hoes, cars, and all those who disgrace

hip hop disappear

This goes out to all those

who have the Common sense

to love like water for chocolate

bangin it out to Dilla

while getting high to the Pharcyde

and groovin to the

Soul Legendary Underground Music

while getting a Kweli-fied education

wit the Mos Def lyricist of this new revelation

This goes out to the ones

who brought us in

and offered a fiasco

state of mind

handin us a message

givin us understanding

while havin the dopest beats behind it

To those thats feelin me

let's bring this revolution up front

to say enough is enough

and tell those who is killin hip hop

that we will stump them out

because my fellow lyricist

will rise and we will bring it back

So to those that say hip-hop is dead

Fuck ya'll cause its just gettin started
