Alright by Kendrick Lamar- Wouldn't you know
We been hurt, been down before, n****
When our pride was low
Lookin' at the world like, "Where do we go, n****"
And we hate po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street for sure, n****
I'm at the preacher's door
My knees gettin' weak and my gun might blow
But we gon' be alright

This song was wrote to vocalize the voices of African American across the country it’s talking about their struggles

War by Edwin Starr
“War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uhh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh (good God)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me, oh

War, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives“
In this song the artist protests the occurrence of wars and how they affect innocent civilians and people who never wanted a war in the first place. They emphasize how common families get torn apart during war and its emotional consequences.

“Cops caught him with a pipe full of residue
I was sad but I felt it would help him too
He got two years now his getting healthier
His in the pen, and I regret I felt for her
I took her out to a place called Wizard Lounge
She had soda, me I was zipping Crown
We agreed on a friendly date, no touching
By the end of the night we was both f*****'
At my trailer was the first time that we did it
I know it hurts, so I won't get that specific
But remember on the first day you got out?
And we met right in front of your mom's house
I cried like a pig, I was feeling low
I couldn't tell you, cause I knew you would kill the hoe
I was mad at me and I hated her
A month later, she asked if I came in her
She got pregnant and didn't know whose it was
If you high right now, you might lose your buzz
But in court, she lied and said it never happened
Now she suing for the money that I get from rappin'
I lost the case, but how did I expect to win?
When my jury didn't have one Mexican
And they knew I didn't do that dumb 🤬
Now I gotta show 'em who they f***** wit”

Somos más americanos- by los los tigres del norte
“  Ya me gritaron mil veces que me regrese
A mi tierra porque aquí no quepo yo
Quiero recordarle al gringo: Yo no
Crucé la frontera, la frontera me cruzó
América nació libre, el hombre la dividió”

“Ellos pintaron la raya para que yo la
Brincara y me llaman invasor
Es un error bien marcado, nos quitaron
Ocho estados. ¿Quién es aquí el invasor?”

“Soy extranjero en mi tierra, y no vengo
A darles guerra. Soy hombre trabajador”

- This song is talking about how people are raíces towards Mexicans and tell the to go back to their country when in reality their just trying to work and provide food for their family’s in a country that’s theirs that America 🇺🇸 stoled from Mexico. 🇲🇽

Looking for America By Lana Del Rey
Took a trip to San Francisco
All our friends said we would jive
Didn't work, so I left for Fresno
It was quite a scenic drive
Pulled over to watch the children in the park
We used to only worry for them after dark

I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind

I flew back to New York City
Missed that Hudson River line
Took a train up to Lake Placid
That's another place and time, where
I used to go to drive-ins and listen to the blues
So many things that I think twice about before I do, no

I'm still looking for my own version of America
One without the gun, where the flag can freely fly
No bombs in the sky, only fireworks when you and I collide
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind
It's just a dream I had in mind

This song is about the mass shootings that happen nationwide and how we as people need to do something about it and make a change

Dance with the devil- Immortal technique
I once knew a guy whose real name was William
His primary concern was making a million
Being the illest hustler that the world ever seen
He used to frick moviestars and sniff coke in his dreams
A corrupted young mind at the age of 13
bro never had a father and his mom was a fiend
She put the pipe down, but for every year she was sober
Her son's heart simultaneously grew colder
He started hanging out selling bags in the projects
Checking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospects
He was fascinated by material objects
But he understood money never bought respect
He built a reputation 'cause he could hustle and steal
But got locked once, and didn't hesitate to squeal
So criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real
You see, me and people like this have never been equal
I dont project my insecurities at other people
He fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles
So he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
A feeble minded young man with infinite potential
The product of a ghetto breed capatalistic mental
Coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
Dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
But he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed

Everyone trying to be trife, never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
Ask a 🤬 doing life if he had another chance
But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block
But that's what happens when you 🤬, murder and sell rock
Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top

There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot

So Billy started robbing 🤬, anything he could do
He'd get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew
Starting fights over little 🤬, up on the block
Stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
Working overtime for making money for the crack spot
Hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
Fulfilling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
Tired of the block guys treating him the same
He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
But when he tried to step to 'em, 🤬 showed him no love
They told him any 🤬 coward can sell drugs
Any female dog guy with a gun can bust slugs
Any guy with a red shirt can front like a blood
Even Puffy smoked a 🤬 up in a club
But only a real thug can stab someone 'til they die
Standing in front of them, staring straight into their eyes
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
And they wanted to test him, before business started
Suggested forcing himself on a girl to prove he was cold hearted
So now he had a choice between going back to his life
Or making money with made men, up in the cife
His dreams about cars and ice, made him agree

A hardcore 🤬 is all he ever wanted to be
And so he met them friday night at a quarter to three

Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences
You probably only did a month for minor offenses
Ask a guy doing life if he had another chance
But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block

But that's what happens when you 🤬, murder and sell rock
Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot

They drove around the projects slow while it was raining

Smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment
Until they saw a woman on the street walking alone
Three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
And so they quietly got out the car and followed her
Walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
They wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
This is it kid, now you got your chance to be raw
So Billy yoked her up and grabbed the chick by the hair
And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
She struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs
They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
Screaming, "Shut the frick up" and "Stop moving around"
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed to the clouds
So Billy stomped on the female dog, until he'd broken her jaw
Them dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving
Blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently
And then they all proceeded to force themselves on her violently
Billy was meant to go first, but each of them took a turn
Ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned
A broken jaw mumbled for god but they weren't concerned
When they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and bruised
One of them guys pulled out a brand new .22

They told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
And if he killed her, he was guaranteed a spot in the crew

He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head

I'm falling and I can't turn back
I'm falling and I can't turn back

Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
And he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
Cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
'Cause he was staring into the eyes of his own mother
She looked back at him and cried, 'cause he had forsaken her
She cried more painfully than when they were raping her
His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
His corruption had succesfully changed his fate
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
Working hard for nothing, 'cause now what was he worth
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
And crying out to the sky 'cause he was lonely and scared
But only the devil responded, 'cause God wasn't there
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
They say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
After that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
And listen 'cause the story that I'm telling is true
'Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too
And now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
In fact, I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
And every street cypher listening to little thugs flow
He could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
The devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
White, brown, yellow and black, color is not restricted
You have a self destructive destiny when you're inflicted
And you'll be one of God's children that fell from the top
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
Because the dance with the devil might last you forever

Oh, y'all mofos thought it was over, huh?
Well, it's not, you didn't count on a fallen angel gettin' back
Into the grace of God and comin' after you
Y'all levas ain't poop, your producers ain't 🤬
Your frickin ' A & R ain't 🤬
I'll frickin' wipe my 🤬 with your demo deal
Yo, Diabolic, take this mofos head off!

Go 'head and grip Glocks
I'll snap your trigger finger in six spots
You'll have to lip lock with hypodermic needles to lick shots
I'll watch you topple flat
Put away your rings and holla back
Can't freestyle, you're screwed off the top, like bottle caps
Beneath the surface
I'm overheatin' your receiving circuits

By unleashin' deeper verses than priests speak in churches
What you preach is worthless
Your worship defeat the purpose
Like President Bush takin' bullets for the secret service
Beyond what y'all fathom, I 🤬 on cats and jaw tap 'em
Show no compassion, like havin' a straight-faced 🤬
Tour jack 'em, have his half-a-10 female dog suck my friend's pp
In the meantime, you can french kiss this clenched fist

Diabolic, a one-man brigade spreadin' cancer plague
Fist-🤬' a levas face, holdin' a hand grenade
So if I catch you bluffin', baggot, you're less than nothin'
I just had to get that stress off my chest like breast reduction

You mofos are nothin', you cannot harm me
I'll resurrect every aborted baby and start an army
Storm the planet, huntin' you down, 'cause I'm on a mission
To split your body into a billion one-celled organisms
Immortal Technique'll destroy your religion, you stupid 🤬
You're faker than blue-eyed crackers nailed to a crucifix
I'm 'bout to blow up, like NASA Challenger computer chips

Arsenic language transmitted revolutionarily
I'm like time itself, I'm gonna kill you inevitably
Chemically bomb you, 🤬 usin' a chrome piece
I'm Illmatic, you won't make it home, like Jerome's niece
I'll sever your head diagonally for thinkin' of dissin' me
And then use your dead body to write my name in calligraphy
This puppet democracy brain-washed your psychology
So you're nothin', like diversity without equality

And your crew is full of more faggots than Greek mythology
Usin' numerology to count the people I sent to Heaven
Produces more digits than 22 divided by seven
You're like Kevin Spacey, your style is usually suspect
You never killed a cop, you not a 🤬' thug yet
Your mind is empty and spacious
Like the part of the brain that appreciates culture in a racist
Face it, you're too basic, you're never gonna make it
Like children walkin' through Antarctica, 🤬-naked

- this is connected to a non violence protest because immortal technique is sharing a story thats true, altho he wasn't involved hes trying ti spread awareness.

“There’s things I wanna say to you , but I’ll just let you live.”

the significant meaning behind this quote in this song is how there’s things I would like to say to a certain individual but instead I just let it go and move on and “let them live”, being that the things I want to say doesn’t affect or ever get to them as they continue living their life without knowing what’s wanting to be said to them.

" Between this slavery of media,it's poor presentation, (violence on many sides)."

" Real Gangsta" By South Park Mexican (spm)
"No pops, and his mom worked tooth and nail
She managed to buy him some shoes on sale
She didn't know, she bought the wrong color
And they stayed in the closet all summer
Even though the kid wasn't affiliated
He knew what they loved, and knew what they hated
Now he's in Middle School, same individual
But this is where things seem to get a bit difficult
This is the life of a young Mexican
Verse one done take me to the second one
She dont know why
but all she knows
is that her youngest child
is a real gangsta now
you see"
This song is about a young Mexican kid growing up in poverty and around gang violence. A hard working parent trying her best for a child and the child noticing the wrong around them, having to take care of their life by wearing a simple color outside their home. Taking a walk outside could be like taking a walk through a battlefield. Growing up there its required to learn how to get through no matter what part you play in that space as said: "He knew what they loved, and knew what they hated." It was all the kid knew so he evolved around that and so he was changing with the mother not knowing why he is changing that way and trying to prevent it to protect him from violence.

“somos más americanos” - Los tigres del norte

… Ya me gritaron mil veces que me regrese a mi tierra, Porque aqui no quepo yo
Quiero recordarle al gringo: Yo no cruce la frontera, la frontera me cruzo.
America nacio libre, el hombre la dividio.
Ellos pintaron la raya, para que yo la brincara
Y me llaman imbasor. Es un error bien marcado nos quitaron ocho estados. Quien es aqui el imbasor.Soy extranjero en mi tierra,
Y no vengo a darles guerra, soy hombre trabajador.

This song has been famous and used for a while for Mexicans that protest to fight for justice. The song says “They have shouted at me a thousand times I should go back to my country because there’s no room for me here I want to remind the gringos: I didn’t cross the border, the border crossed me.”  Basically how Americans don’t want us here but our people were here first . They don’t want us here and America was born free but the man divided it. A lot of people are anti-Mexican especially after trump became president. Even him saying we “are bringing drugs, crime and we are rapist. “ No matter how much they try to divide us “somos más americanos” 🇲🇽🇲🇽

''I'm a n****, gotta live by the trigga
How the f**k do you figure?
That I can say "Peace" and the gunshots will cease?
Every cop killer goes ignored
They just send another n**** to the morgue
A point scored, they could give a f**k about us
They rather catch us with guns and white powder
If I was old, they'd probably be a friend of me
Since I'm young, they consider me the enemy

They kill ten of me to get the job correct
To serve, protect, and break a n****'s neck
'Cause I'm the one with the trunk of funk
And "F**k tha Police" in the tape deck
You should listen to me 'cause there's more to see
Call my neighborhood a ghetto 'cause it houses minorities
The other color don't know you can run but not hide
These are tales from the darkside''

In these specific lines it speaks about how African Americans are viewed and racially profiled by the LAPD and how there race is always harassed for basically doing nothing also speaking on how cops kill African Americans and no one speaks about it because to the news its just another ''ghetto story'' and how where they live is called a ghetto because a certain race lives in that area that the police dont like.

Keep Ya Head Up- Tupac

And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
'Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em (you don't need him)
You know me makes me unhappy? (What's that?)
When brothas make babies
And leave a young mother to be a pappy (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman (yeah, yeah)
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we r**e our women, do we hate our women? (Why? Why?)
I think it's time to k**lfor our women (why? Why? Why? Why?)
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies (oh, yeah, baby)
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up

Explanation:
This specific part talks about how men mistreat and wrong women when they should be taking care of them and respecting women because we are birth givers. Men came from women. And men tend to over use their power and strength over us. Men majority of the time belittle and hurt women. He’s telling men to start being kind and respectful. For women to keep our heads up. As someone who has seen the women in my family be ab***d, left, r***d, and disrespected just for being themselves. this is very important topic for me because I refuse to love or even grow up in harmful environments just like my family. I want my generation to be different.

3. This song is about how people treat you differently when you have a mental illness or significant trauma. It explains how his parents force him to go to a mental institution convinced there is something wrong with him. Convinced they know him better than he knows himself.

"It's time to fight back, " that's what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother
But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes."

In this song I believe Tupac is speaking about the poorer parts of the black community, and institutionalized racism is american. The sad reality is that when a cop shoots a black person or any person of color, they would be deemed in society as a hero, and not a criminal. I think Tupac is able to relate to this, and a lot of his songs tend to shed light on these situations that weren't really talked about back then. For example, the situation when the government intentionally gave harmful drugs to the black community.

"B.Y.O.B" by System Of A Down
The acronym B.Y.O.B normally means "bring your own booze", but for this song it means "bring your own bombs" , there is a lyric in this song repeated "Why do they always send the poor?" Questioning why they always send the poor into war and if it's the aristocratic people in power who always start the wars why don't they themselves fight the wars created?

My mama was raised in the era when
Clean water was only served to the fairer skin, Doin’ clothes, you woulda thought I had help But they wasn’t satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself

in this song kanye talks about the racial injustices his mother had to go through such as having segregation, not being able to drink from the same water fountain as white people, while also saying people wouldn’t like his clothing unless he picked the cotton himself, referencing how african americans had to do the same during slavery.

Alright -Kendrick

“I remembered you was conflicted

Misusing your influence, sometimes I did the same

Abusing my power full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression”

-This song was used during the Black Lives Matter movement’s against police brutality. In these lyrics he talks about misuse of influence and power, and that’s exactly what police brutality is.

“Till it happens to you”- by lady Gaga
Jhoana Perez
Period 1

'Til you're standing in my shoes, I don't wanna hear nothing ‘ . This song is about sa many people who have gone through this are often not believed. Victims of this issue are constantly thinking it was their fault. I chose this quote because  many people can’t really comment because you don’t know how it feel you don’t understand what a person who has gone through this issue feel.

Kendrick Lamar-alright
My rights, my wrongs;I write till I’m right with god
Wouldn’t you know
We been hurt,been down before?
N****, when our pride was low
Lookin at the world like, where do we go?
N****, and we hate the po-po
Wanna kill us dead in the street fo 🤬>
What Kendrick Lamar is pointing out in the song its expresses ideas of hope amid personal struggles. Pretty much saying everything their race has been through n what they still have to deal with today. Especially with the struggles in life that many people in the go though.

"Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-f*ck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well, maybe I'm the f***ot, America
I'm not a part of a r*dn*ck agenda
Now everybody, do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia"

Kendrick Lamar - Father time

""I got daddy issues, that's on me
Lookin' for, "I love you, " rarely empathizin' for my relief
A child that grew accustomed, jumping up when I scraped my knee
'Cause if I cried about it, he'd surely tell me not to be weak""

This speaks about issues that guys have growing up. Being taught to handle things the "man-ly" way. These actions and decisions just lead to problems in guys growths and way of communicating

Together we are going
To a brand new home
Far across the river
Can you hear freedom calling?
Calling me to answer
Gonna keep on keepin' on

2pac - Keep Ya Head Up                                 "since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we 🤬 our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head u

This song talks about how we should treat our women and how we should respect them and this song explains women suffrage from what men can cause

“American hypocrisy, oh, let me count the ways
They came here seekin' freedom then they end up ownin' slaves
Justified it usin' Christianity which saves”

J Cole points out the irony of the European settlers' fight for freedom. They went on to use slave labor, with also robbing another group of people of their freedom. Some slave owners used Christianity as a defense as it was sanctioned in the Old Testament

“No es para la chota, ya por mi apariencia, qué hay tanto delito qué hay tanta demencia. Yo no cargo nada, nomas mi presencia…”

This is talking about the police pulling them aside or stopping them all the time only because of the way he looks. Him being Mexican, Hispanic, and dressing a certain way, or looking a certain way, will always call the attention of police’s because they assume the worst. They judge and watch people based off of even just an appearance, without knowing who they really are.
