HeeSun Lee addresses her unashamed position in what she believes and her desire to see more unity among her musical peers.
Lemme talk for a, minute or two
I gotta, mission to do
This rap music, yea, I’m sick of it too
I’ll throw this curve ball out, bro, I’m pitching to you
Stir some controversy up? i’ll consider that too
Im sitting back I’m listening to all the garbage out
We starving people lyrically nobody will acknowlege that
Christian or secular
I hear on the regular
U wanna challenge me? go ahead I’m begging ya
These rappers talk about it
They talking like they’ll change the game
They’ll even shout out Jesus name
They actin like they praise His name
We need to go deeper
Go n raise ur speakers, I’m about to go all in, this ya girl, don’t try to bleep her
I dunno why nobody could talk about this topic properly
Not hatin don’t be blocking me, I’m talking thru the God in me
I wish we had more honesty, in why we rapping, time to see
Who’s the real deal, and who’s been busy robbin me
I know the business side of music, know the politics
I know the hustle and the grind, the mental state, I’m no psychologist
Im not a newbie, go include me in ya list of vets, I’ve been rapping on so many stages, thousand people know my set
This ain't about my lack’a knowledge, I’m just tired, bro
These rappers getting louder, the truth is getting quiet, tho
Savin souls or earning money?
Doing shows to earn some money?
Only postin pics with certain people, now we looking funny
Are we really christians put that in the equation
If Jesus took our gift away would we still wanna praise Him?
We rap about how our music’s all about serving
Then we get up off the stage, don’t wanna talk to one person
We do this outta love or do this outta selfishness
Its happening too many times, i saw how artists dealt with this
They need some help wit this. they need to practice what they preach
Staying humble’s a priority before they speak
I ain't perfect, but I’m learning
Im discerning what it means to be an artist thats deserving
The respect of my fans, these fans that held me thru the years
They’re the reasons that i’m still here pushing my career!
The music industry is grimy, yea i get it
And we gotta make a living so i give these rappers credit
Its not easy being an artist, and a christian one, forget it!
But if this is Gods calling better take ur pride and dead it
Yea, i said it. before u go and write a verse
If u ain't savin lives thru ur actions then ya lyrics have no worth
Forget the autographs and private green rooms
Reality checks are clearly something that we need soon
This the real truth, don’t don’t why people trim it
They never talk about this maybe cuz the word "christians" in it
The word christian’s in it, but not all christian’s in it
Ya gotta mimic, play the part, and hope ya soul is wit it
I admit it no ones perfect, but fakeness, i can't be it
They say we're on the same team but i dont see it
Do you? is it true? th at we’re losing it
You don’t believe me, watch the game, these players will be proving it
I miss the old days of hip hop when hearts were pure
Before social media, made us insecure
How many followers we got today, thats what we’re stressing
Jus focus on ur music, pray that it can be a blessing
We need a change, we need conviction, know we used to have it
Wanna thank my listeners that i can talk about it
Lets remember why we doing this…why we picked this mic up in the first place
It was so we can change the world
I dunno what happened, but now the world is changing us
Lets get back to our roots
I know I’m just a puny asian girl that got a lot to say
Embracing hiphop, to this very day, I’m also christian, never stray
But some’a these rappers need some help right away, i need some clarity
On why they busy rapping today
