Therapy and Peace - Benefit

Real hip-hop — You know the essence

Yo, it’s hip-hop culture and it’s deep in my veins

It’s freedom from a world tryin' to keep me in chains

There’s something about music and relieving the pain

And keep believing in yourself when they believe is insane

The way the drum attacks with a smack of the tracks

Swinging like lumberjacks with the crack of an ax

It’s how the sound makes you kick back and relax

It’s the knowledge in the rhymes, spit rapid and facts

It’s the street tails or the ratchets on the crooks

In a pocket book city snatchs on the?

It’s the dusk on the rcord it’s the scratches on the hooks

It’s graffiti on the city wall that catches all the looks

Cold as the wind chill airing a breeze

Its B-Boys with the windmill flaring a freeze

It’s on tour with no budget and Airbnb’s

Till I am diseased, music is my Therapy & Peace

This is legit rap — I need to make my mark

It’s something for me to write this

Real hip hop — Lyrical dope shit

Think about — Stay focused — Your time has come

It’s the independent hustle

It’s the struggle in the art

It’s expressing all the suffering that is troubling the heart

It’s practicing a verse till every word spit great

It’s the perfect piece of wax in a dirty milk crate

It’s not the cloud that everyone is chasing for miles

It’s watching out for the fake emulations of smiles

It’s being original, no imitations off styles

Staying true to make it through, through tribulations and trials

In this race where the finish place

Is the space of diminished taste

Where the minutes waste

And the hours disappear

And the dark days dwindle

Discarding your heart so the spark stays kindle

It’s rocking shows with nobody showing up

It’s making something out of nothing and suddenly blowing up

It’s the grime with projects.

Prepare to be released

Till I am diseased, music is my Therapy & Peace

This is legit rap — I need to make my mark

It’s something for me to write this

Real hip hop — Lyrical dope shit

Think about — Stay focused — Your time has come
