What is your favorite rapper feeding you? /
Do you believe it’s true? /
Is it soul food?
Do they tell a truth that gets you in a mood? /
Is he good dude? /
Or a dope chick? One hell of a lyricist? Or the type to keep diamonds on top of their wrist? /
Perhaps it’s a conscious brother/ stealing all the information/ and leads a revolution with education/
Are they feeding you the facts? / and as a matter of fact/
Would they pass you the blunt if you were in the back/
Of the stage right alongside them? /
Are they as nice as Rakim and as sick as Eminem? /
Do they feed you the lie that they have no fear? /
That they have no cares? /
That they never shed tears? /
Which part of the art moves you? /
Is it lyrical content/ or lyrical nonsense? /
Are they on the payroll of the corporate forces? /
Recover from losses/ and considered bosses? /
If they have to cut checks to the banks they owe? /
Do they speak on shit that they don’t really know? /
Do they act a certain way when those cameras turn on? /
And act another way once those cameras get gone? /
Are they in the hood for real giving out hot meals? /
Are they in the hood for real showing off those wheels? /
Are they really about that life that they’re portraying? /
And does anyone really give a fuck? I’m just saying/
Are they really about that life that they’re portraying? /
Are they serious about their art or just playing? /

Or a dope chick? / One hell of a lyricist? /
Or the type that’s quick to ball up a fist? /
Perhaps it’s a conscious sister/ standing ready to lead the nation/
Until her assassination/
Does she write her own songs? Or is there a ghost? /
Like it ain’t her show/ yet somehow she’s the host? /
Is she anything like you and is she respected? /
Or is being half naked/ the only way she sells records? /
Does she call herself a bad bitch and you agree? /
Are they a slave to a label or independent and free? /
Are they arrogant as fuck but they ain’t that nice? /
Would they put their hand up in a one on one fight? /
Is she on Instagram showing off stacks of money? /
Would she give you an autograph without looking at you funny? /
Is she a genius trapped in the flesh of a dime? /
Is she hot right now or was she once upon a time? /
Are they really about that life that they’re portraying? /

I’m less concerned with your evaluation/
Than I am about starting the conversation/
