South Bronx Subway Rap

Look past the garbage, over the trains

Under the ruins, through the remains

Around the crime and pollution

And tell me, where I fit in

South Bronx, New York that's where I dwell

To a lot of people it's a living hell

Full of frustration and poverty

But wait, that's not how it looks to me

It's a challenge and opportunity

To rise above the stink and debris

Ya gotta start with nothing and then you built

Follow your dream until it's fulfilled

I'm a warrior, my art is my sword

A place in society is my reward

Because a mind is a terrible thing to waste

Success is something we all wanna taste

Everyone has talent on the earth

And you can take it or leave it for what it's worth

No matter how hard things may seem

You've got the potential, fulfill your dream

'Cause we're the future, and it's up to us

To make our home rate an "A+"

Let your mind be pure and free to create

Use the beat in your heart and aim to be great
