This song was inspired by a book I read recently. Check the music out and below are the words. Would love to hear your feedback.

Parents Ain’t Always Right

By Undakova

Sometimes ya parents ain’t always right 7x

So be who you are you gotta live your life

Your parents did the best that they could

Using knowledge that they gained from their own childhood

It may seem now that they became adults

You could feel responsible for feelings they felt

Now hows that?

Trying to influence how you act

My mom makes me feel guilty if I don’t call back

And that’s a fact

But its moms. I love her to death so I stay calm

But its little things like this that over time cause harm

Don’t follow your soul, heart or faith

Cause deep inside you might think that you’ll make a mistake

And your parents will say «see I told you so»

Or «you’re going to make me have a heart attack if you go»

Oh no its another guilt trip session

I hope your not old before you learn this lesson

Cause life is a blessing for all of us

Yeah your parents made you so there the ones you can trust but. . .

Chorus:

Sometimes ya parents ain’t always right 7x

So be who you are you have to live your life

So back to the topic of trust

Your parents made you

and that’s miraculous

Their parents made them

and that’s fabulous

And when your times up

then your back to dust

Everyone has a purpose

And that’s whats up

Living out your own life

Well that’s a must

Cause you don’t want to see that

You just past it up

And didn’t follow your heart

Cause it clashed with stuff

That was inside your head from the things that your parents said

Maybe they blamed you or threatened they was going to be dead

I am a tell it to you straight

With all family members see

Aim for some directness and strive for some clarity

Some of yall listening

Some of yall feeling me

Know that I am here to empower you lyrically

Its my ability to put this in a song

I am not trying say that are parents’s always wrong but

Sometimes ya parents ain’t always right 7x

So be who you are you have to live your life

Recently I met a girl from Lituania on the train and we laughed about how I didn’t know how to write music out in note formation as she did. But then it became terribly sad but true that I really didn’t know much about her country the Soviet Union at that. Why am I so stupid? Is it really because they taught nothing in school, is my brain lazy to learn new things and obtain information out there, or is it just common to be common in America? I still thought this video was funny. Hehehe.

I have to admit. My gut feeling is even if I was to be able to tell you exactly what the history behind the 4th of July was. Whose to say that what they taught or say in history books is even true. I wasn’t there. I don’t know why they truly fought. I know what I have heard but what the real reasons behind the fighting and independence although they already sound pretty good could be far from what was said and sold to us as truth. “They then severed ties with the British Empire in July 1776, when the Congress issued the Declaration of Independence, rejecting the monarchy on behalf of the new nation.” yeah yeah yeah. Thats still HIS STORY and not ours. As far as hip hop is concerned . . .

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,[71] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

We as a people are still struggling to receive our independence and be acknowledged to be a part of the benefits of being independent and having this document created for all men and women.

He’s then swept off to Ancient Japan and 18th century France where he meets perplexing characters and is faced with unique challenges.

The Rapoet appears (performances, lectures, and workshops) at venues ranging from cafes to colleges, receiving praise from poets like Alice Walker (’08) and MCs like KRS ONE (’09). Recently, he performed at Yale University, hosted the Hartford Hip-Hop Festival with Rock Steady’s Crazy Legs (Nov. ’09), and continues leading workshops on positive self-expression for inner city youth.

IN my opinion Self Suffice is one of the best that ever did it in the LES. Check out his music here Self Suffice’s Music

One of the best (that I have had the benefit of witnessing) to do it like it needs to be done.
