Straight Pride Parade

By orangedrink on February 18, 2018 11:14 pm

Yung Grandpa back for more!  This beat was created on the OP-1.  Is the kick drum too boomy?  I feel pretty nervous about the content of this rap since it is a little "political".  But, I feel pretty passionate about it and I think the key to hip-hop is telling your personal story AKA keepin' it real.  Shoutout the the LGBT crew and the straight allies.  Hope you enjoy.  BARS.


Lyrics:


It’s Yung Grandpa!


Yung Grandpa all up in the building
Everybody gather round, men, women, and children
Non-binary crew don’t think i forgot you
Y’all are my people and I’m one of you


Ain’t nobody rapping on the topic
Homophobia: so how we gonna stop it?
Queer kids blowing up the suicide hotline
I didn’t think i’d see legal marriage in my lifetime


¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why isn’t there a straight pride parade? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Uh, yeah there is one, it happens every day
Ever walk, holding hands, without fearing for your life?
Ever not lose a job for acknowledging your wife?        


So many years playing straight, I should have been an actress
Got pics of your dad underneath the mattress
I’m making jokes but you know it isn’t funny
I’m keeping it real; i don’t know what you want from me


It’s Yung Grandpa!

I agree.  It is nerve wracking, but I feel like I would be making a mockery of hip-hop if I didn't "keep it real"
