Beneath the City Lights

Beneath the city lights, the hustle never stops
The night is alive with the beats and the pops
From the cars that zoom by to the crowds that never sleep
This concrete jungle is where the strong come to leap

Through the darkness and the chaos, we grind and we strive
To make it to the top, to keep the dream alive
We run on ambition and the power within
To conquer the world, to never give in

And though this life can be brutal and tough
We hold on to hope and never give up
For beneath the city lights, there’s a fire in our soul
That burns bright and strong, as we strive for the goal

We face the challenges and rise to the test
For this is our home, our city, our nest
Beneath the city lights, we stand tall and true
Ready to take on whatever comes anew.

The Beat of the Rap

The beat of the rap, it flows like a river
A rhythm that’s raw, that makes us shiver
From the boom of the bass to the snap of the snare
The music takes hold, it’s everywhere

It speaks to our souls, to our very core
A language that’s unique, that we can’t ignore
For the words that are spoken, they cut like a knife
They tell of the real struggles of life

The beat of the rap, it holds no barrier
From the streets of the ghettos to the halls of the carrier
It’s a voice for the voiceless, a chance to be heard
A message that’s mighty, that leaves an impact undeterred

So let the music play, let the story unfold
For the beat of the rap, it’s a sight to behold
A culture that’s rich, a legacy that’s strong
A movement that’s alive, that always belongs.

Long Poems

The Evolution of Rap

I remember the days when rap was just a genre,
A way for us to speak our truth, to vent our anger.
The beats were simple, the lyrics raw,
But they spoke to us like nothing before.

From Grandmaster Flash to Run-DMC,
They paved the way for every MC.
Public Enemy brought the politics to light,
While N.W.A. spoke of life in the gangster’s life.

The ’90s saw a shift, a change in style,
Gangsta rap made way for the conscious mile.
Tupac brought emotion, Biggie brought flow,
And Nas, well, he had Illmatic to show.

And then came the mainstream, the money and the fame,
The industry trying to profit from the game.
The beats got bigger, the lyrics got dumber,
And everyone was a rapper, even the drummer.

But even amidst the commercialization,
The genre still had some innovation.
Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Chance the Rapper,
They showed us that rap could still be a factor.

And so, here we are, in 2021,
Rap has evolved, but its soul isn’t gone.
New artists with new sounds, each carving their way,
But still drawing from the roots of yesterday.

Rap has come so far, it’s hard to deny,
From humble beginnings, to the top of the sky.
But no matter what happens, no matter how it grows,
Rap will always be the voice of those who know.

Life on the Mic

Verse 1:
Rhymes and beats, that’s what I live for
Everyday I grab that mic and soar
Spitting lyrics that come from the soul
Making sure every word, feeling is whole
