I've got to express what I feel; and articulate what I observe,                                   Ghetto life, who wears the medals in the ghettos, But those in the cemeteries; for their drive-by become their good-bye                              Ceremony end with a bang, bang to a prince         The hood weeps because their buddy went to sleep   Ghetto life got to hold on                        Mamas cry because their babies die                 Victimised by some bad guys                        Living in the ghetto what you perceive, not what you conceive,                                     Who will receive the honor, but memories of the past                                               Reminisce about yesterday, focus on today          Keep away from the grave                           No violence in the ghetto, I'm my brother's keeper
I don't want to be a weeper, just a shout out to the sleeper; wake up

When I read this I feel like a rapper.
Do you ever record your work?
