Word Medicine

hip hop hates women
you can not get around it
hip hop hates women
there is no hope in it
it is not the hazy crazy song of youth
nor the quickest way up out
the ghetto
it has lost all potential
as a revolutionary manifesto
it will not ever save our souls

we can not pretend
that tupac wasn’t a rapist
that biggie didn’t use us
they hated us
hip hop hates women
it hates women
it hates us
it hates women

but if you can find me 50 righteous mc’s
i’ll spare this city
20 loving mc’s and i’ll spare this city
10 holy mc’s and i’ll spare this city


but i’ll battle anybody i don’t care who you tell
rain down wordmedicine like acid coated brimstone
leprosy the bodies and tongues
of wordsmiths who dare to morph her innocence into
gaping caverns for jism
