Mobb Deep

A Poem by Adam Parker

How mobb deeps early work has come to reflect our lives today

Mobb deep's infamous is a blueprint for the lives
Of the the working class , marginalised and abused of society.
A dystopian depiction of non-fiction in our world,
Indirect violence of business and wealth,
direct violence against livelihoods,
Health , the ghetto and the hood.

It's hell on Earth and we are on the frontlines,
It's the survival of the fittest and only the strong survive,
a drum beat echoes out , a cold voice spits across the words,
a tale of death , fear and poverty ,
A prodigy
from the cradle to the grave in 25 years,
Ed Sheeran plays on the radio , his blasphemy heard,
speaking only for those who have never been scared.

The guitar is dead , It only speaks for those who afford equipment,
It is replaced by the pen and paper ,
A hand on a table , and a story of being downtrodden,
by that which reflects contentment ,
Institutions and the people they've forgotten,
the temperature is rising and we can't drop a gem on em.
