What is it about you that is so different?
Is it that booming bass,
Or is it those wavy synthesizers?
Maybe it’s the way you flow,
Or how you say what you mean and mean what you say?
Or it could be your wide range of influences.
From rock and soul to jazz and reggae,
Across the globe you are inspired.
What is it?
It’s the change you’ve made.
From beat-boxing, DJ-ing and breakdancing,
You went on to become an activist,
Standing up for what you believed in.
You became a genius, lyrically telling your
knowledge through all the struggles.
You never gave up; you stood tall and strong
You have grown so much
But never forget where it all began
Stay real

I really like how you took and turned the hip hop music and personified it to make it sound like a smart person. I thought that when you said "You became a genius, lyrically telling your knowledge through all the struggles." Really made me realize the true meaning of music.
