[Verse One: J-Ro]
The year is 2004, people talk about war
I had to hit the floor when the bombs began to pour
Ten minutes ago I was mad cause my stomach was grumbling
Now the whole world is crumbling
I hear people scream across the street gettin crushed
This went on for twenty minutes then the whole world hushed
I couldn't see shit but I could feel myself breathin
Damn I'm still kickin but I'm just not believin
I give thanks to God then I'm off on my mission
Ain't no stars in the sky so it ain't no wishin
I wonder, I wonder, I just can't under-stand
Why, am I the last man?
[Verse Two:]
These crazy thoughts in my head won't stop
Where's my moms and my pops and what about hip-hop
I'm pickin up things that could be of use to me
Too build a makeshift crib where Hollywood used to be
And it ain't no forties, it ain't no blunts
I ain't had no ass in five years and eight months
Five more years pass, and I still survive
And I'm through with wonderin who's still alive
Until one day I'm just walkin along
And I hear this kid singin a hip-hop song
He said, "That's the way it is, and it's like that"
I said, "Yo kid c'mere, where you learn that song at?"
He said, "My daddy taught me about the hip-hop game
I'm eight years old and Rakim is my name"
He said, "Yo I'll take you to him, come follow me;
but first you gotta prove that you can MC"
So I cleared my throat got in a b-boy stance
and I ran through a rhyme that made him piss in his pants
With tears in his eyes, he grabbed me by the hand
And then we ran, ten miles across the sand
He took me to the spot, dig deep underground
Where I can hear the sound of the big bass pound
I wasn't really sure, but I swore we smelled blunt smoke
No joke loc, well can I get a toke?
He took me to his pops and he handed me a spliff
And out behind the wall came Tash and E-Swift
They took me to a freestle session it was on
I knew hip-hop would never be gone
FIve hundred hip-hop deep
Yo we cool in 2014, Alkaholiks still rulin
[Outro:]
It's gonna live forever
This goes out to the P-Town, LBNT

Hip-hop don't stop

Tha Alkaholiks, also known as Tha Liks, is an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. Active since the early 1990s, they have produced funky and upbeat party music with hedonism themes and a hardcore hip hop edge. Their tracks are characterized by the beats of DJ and producer E-Swift (born Eric Brooks in Cincinnati, Ohio) and the lively, comedic rhymes of J-Ro (born James Robinson in Los Angeles) and Tash (born Rico Smith in Cincinnati). Though commercial crossover success largely eluded the group, they maintained a dedicated following on their native West Coast, throughout the United States and worldwide. Some of their most representative tracks include "88 Keys", "Livin' Like This" and "Make It Last".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
