Tupac said, Only God can judge me.
Ain't that the way its supposed to be?
But when I walk these halls, know what I see?
I see these haters lookin down on me,
Like they're so much better than me.
Are you kiddin' me?
Thats hypocricy.
He who has no sin should cast the first stone,
I guaruntee not a single rock will be thrown.
I hope I'm hittin' close to your home,
Goin' straight to your bone,
Cus' I guaruntee you ain't alone.
Now I done my share of bad,
Had a little more fun than i shoulda had.
Lookin' back at it all kinda makes me mad,
But I can't change it, so too bad, so sad.
"Chorus"
God loves you, you know its true.
Tell you somethin' right now, I do too.
He loves all colors, black, white, and blue.
Just know that what you deal with is nothin' new.
I repented my sins, I washed away the haze.
I ain't perfect but I broke outta my old ways,
Every mornin' I thank God for the new days,
Still gotta watch all these fools runnin' the maze.
No matter what I say, no matter what do,
They don't believe what I'm preachin' is true,
But then again, how can I blame you?
Its all you ever known,
The only place you ever called home,
But the whole time sin's taken root and grown.
Pretty soon you won't be your own, but evils' home.
Thats the last thing I want, I never wanted that to happen.
I hope I reach the people with my rappin'
I hope one day we can look back on all this laughin'.
Please don't be like them, don't fall into the trap.
I'm screamin in your ear, man thats wack.
Can't ya see ya souls 'bout to be under attack?
Save yourself, heed the words in this rap.
"Chorus"
Now lets get somethin' straight,
I ain't tryin to hate.
Not pointin fingers or passin judgement.
Just seems to me like some of these guys are Hell bent,
Tryin to break every rule, trying to be cool, they just end up actin a fool.
And these are the guys that want me to do what they do,
Try and make me believe what they do is true.
But don't you worry about me, i know what to do.
Tell you somethin' right now, I don't need you.
I don't need your lies,
Or your drugs that give me wacked out highs.
Your actions always make me ask why?
Understand you, psh, I'll never try.
Just know this fire inside of me will never die.

Your message is clear throughout the poem which is nice. I am not one to listen to rap music, so I could not always catch the beat, but I am sure it works well.
-
wow...though your poem is very it's worth reading...from the first line to the last one...the message you're sending is very clear and very true...goodluck to you in this contest!
-
Thank you for entering!
Since I just posted this contest, I cannot say what I think at this time. Hope you understand. -
My fav music is not from this generation, but can accept these lyrics as well written and can catch the beat as well. Thought the message was strong throughout the poem, and teens might catch on the the message through the words and beat.
-
I liked this. Rap is not really my style of music, only certain songs, but this was pretty good. It was deep and the words you spoke were true. Thanks for adding this into my contest.

Wise Words
Tupac was a wise man with some powerful words. I think you did a great job on expressing the emotions on has its like to be judged in this crazy society. Great rhyme and flow. Good luck in the contest.
-
I really really like this.
It was unique and it was definetly your own.
Goodluck in my contest. -
I really don't like rap, but I really like the story and message of this. I completely agree with it except for the part about how only God can judge you. Not true. He is the only one who SHOULD juge you, but lots of people judge.
I'd like to see the word "I" capitalized like it should be, but other than that... good. Keep writing! -
This has become amazing, Carston!!! Great job! =)
-
this reminds me of everything that i go through every single day. i like it!!
-
Fantastic
Reminds every single bit of higshcool
Good Job, I wrote a piece sort of like this before, but I think I lost it.
-
Carston, you rap? **sits w/open mouth** I'm not a big fan of rap, but I like this a lot. I can see my teen ministry at church performing this for real.
-
Wow this is amazing--great ryhme and great message.
-
This is wonderful, Carston! I like what it says and I like the flow. It's an easy read - not choppy at all. It's good to know how strongly you stick by your morals. That's the best way to be, buddy. I love this one, and I'm not even a fan of rap! If you can make me like it, then that just reflects as to how great and effective a writer you are!
-
This is very good... you have a great talent for rhythm and rhyming and the message this write carries is also excellent and very important!
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Keep writing!
