Now And Then

Hip hop, hard rock, be bop, punk rock It will never stop. Every generation will have its own That is something that’s been shown. As teens we think that the older generation do not know What is hip and what is slow Our time is NOW and your time is THEN But we still recognize which is Foe and which is friend. In ten years another generation will appear Then we’ll have the same fears. Maybe by then drug addiction, free sex and telephone text will be gone And just like you our memories Will linger on. So I guess what you told me will be true But until then this will do. NOW and THEN is the key This is what makes us free. Our rap can’t you see is just your poetry It is just spoken faster, and a beat put to it. So why is it that you catch a fit? Is it the profanity or the violence that we see. Maybe that’s the way it has to be?
