No Heroes

Whatever happened to superheroes? What happened to little kids looking up to guys like Batman, Superman, Steel, Captain America, and Spider-Man? These guys do good in their worlds b/c they have the responsibility to live up to the most they can be for the people around them. What do kids look up to now? F**kin' rappers who ain't got a ounce of respect or role model material in them. Think about how sad it really is. Fifteen years ago, little kids were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. They all said things like Power Rangers or Batman or Ninja Turtles. Nowadays, you ask little kids what they wanna be and they say a pimp, hustla, or drug dealer. Something that really has no place in our world, especially now. Media sets these youngsters up for a downfall from the get go.

How many times have you seen a story on the news about some dumb kid tryin' to be like these crap stars and gettin' his ass shot up by cops or other kids? i know i'Ve seen and heard this too many times. i know i hate hearing it. Every single time i see a kid at the mall or on the street that's talking about being a hustla or smackin' chicks around cuz it's the "Hardcore" thing, i wanna smack them around and tell them how to be. What a real man is.

Real men don't hit women. Real men hit men who hit women. iT makes me cry. i seriously sit their in the dark of the night and think about this and cry. Too many babies are dyin' out there for no damn good reason. Too many villains out there and not enough heroes to shift the tides. Too much bad s**t out there goin' on w/o anyone to truly battle it. How many major league rappers rap about good stuff like helping ppl, cleaning things up, making things just generally better for everyone around them? None i know of. They all got this thing where they think they're makin' art and conveying their pain to the fans. No, that's not art. Pharcyde is art. Earthworms is art. 50 Cent is just riding a craze that's making things worse for us all.
