Hey. I'm feeling REALLY brain-dead right now so I'll post something I thought of earlier today. It is important to remember that I am trying to capture the spirit of a character. This is not me speaking. It is, however, a part of an album called "The Tower" I am working on.

"The Star"

Yo I am Russa, the Red Star Rappa
And in this nation's history, I'm startin' a new chapta.
I'm not the cleanest guy, I sure love my vodka,
But I still haven't smoked a joint, I'm still "tabula rasta".
Drink lots, smoke pot, play video games,
I guess that's one way to deal with the growing pains,
But back to the subject at hand, which is me,
(Yeah, I copped your line, ATD!
And what you gonna do, you gonna sue me?
No, please don't sue, I don't know what I'll do,
But it's not like you're actually going to sue, so screw you!)
So, anyway, I was lookin' for Liberty, but I lost her,
The fed thinks if I found her, then I'd accost her.
They don't realize what they'd done when they'd tossed her
She might be frozen, but then I'll defrost her.
They'll say I was hurtin' her but I'm not the one who crossed her.
It's always the guy on top who's doin' that
Stalin, Bush, Obama, Hitler, and all those fat cats.
I'm pretty sure that some are crazier than others,
But they'd all be in Siberia if I had my druthers,
Come to think of it, that saying's really dumb.
"And you are lynching negros!" or so says my mum.
But really, rippin' off my own country makes me feel numb
And not the good kind when you're off on rum.
It's the kind of thing you get when you're freezing your ass off
And it's your fourth week fighting a war you all ready lost.
And half your squad deserted because they were soft
And if you could you'd take everything from the Czar's loft.
And you were so surprised when you actually won,
In a real stupid bet you had to eat your own gun.
That's why you can't make fun of what we've got
Everything that came after that was just rot.
Because of Robspierre does that mean Democracy is bad?
Can you only see the worst of us, are you really that sad?
But wazso sad? I'm not sad. I'm just mad it can't be had,
We were tryin' to make paradise, why'd it turn out so bad?
We were following a red star too high in the air
But once we got it in, we couldn't get it out of our collective hair.
