KEITH R. WILLIAMS

these are some of my old school rap lyrics
so many weak mentalities
afraid to deal with reality
lost in a world of fantasy
wanting to be what they could never be
in the 50’s & the 60’s
it was the Ku Klux Klan
now in the new millenium it’s the pusherman
killing the majority
of the minorities
why have we become our own enemies
an uzi & a twelve guage
taking us back to the capone age
all the world’s a stage
why don’t u act your age
turn the book to another page
so many weak mentalities

deep, deep in the ghetto
unemployment cuts like a stilleto
shadows flow right past your window
from which your afraid to peep
you can’t get no sleep
when a police car screams
ruining another poor kid’s dream
alcoholics lie by the liquor store
teenagers dressed to kill for sure
the radio station promotes the almight dollar
for the 15th caller
hundreds of fingers touch touchtone buttons
it’s hard to buy food with nothin
deep, deep, in the ghetto
just like in soweto
discrimination is never a dream
it’s always seen
deep. deep, in the ghetto

i’m the atypical lyrical miracle maker
the non perpretrator ras mc kdc in the place to be
but i hate this shelter
my mind goes helter skelter
how do i tell ya
i’m a lucky fella
just to have a roof over my head
food, and a bed
no sleeping on the corner
no trying to get warmer
but who knows the pain i feel
who knows how i deal
with everyday life
without my son
i feel like i’m on the run
escaping reality
searching for sanity
trying to be humble
afraid to stumble
because the whole world is watching me
it’s not easy to be Ras KDC
family thinks i’m tough, and rough enough
to handle this stuff
but not suicide
sometimes i want to run & hide
swallow my pride
and just go along for the ride
we are all created equal
under one church steeple
KDC MEANS KEEPING DEEPLY CONCERNED
FOR ALL MY PEOPLE
