I am a deity. I am a sanctuary. I am the earth and the sky. I am the answer to the question why? I am the conscious and subconscious minds intertwine. I am what you feel deep in your spine. I am a woman.

Half crazy, half sane, Half flamboyant, half plain. Half discipline, half defiant, Half dependent, half self-reliant. Half superwoman, half supernatural, Half fictional, half factual. Half perfection, half flawed, Half refined, half raw. Half clumsy, half grace, Half body, half face. Half sunshine, half cloud of gloom... but I'm always noticed when I enter a room.

Next time you are seduced by a beat listen closely to the rhyme and you tell me if that what Hip-Hop was meant to be.
