My Speech: The Dream Of Rap Music

Decent Essays
Rap music is a dream that I hope to pursue in the future I have to set certain goals to get me to this place. I have been rapping for seven years so far it’s going steady I have to ease my way to the top and reserve a spot. My skills have exceeded my expectations and I know exactly what I’m doing in the past I set some goals and I finished every one of my goals within a year so I set more I kept getting better and now I can rap at any pace and with any type of style of my choosing. It was like a rinse wash repeat cycle with an infinite loop I still set goals like mini games. If people could understand that if you keep your own flow steady you can rap anyway you please but most people don’t think putting time into something you love will do …show more content…
I knew that people would start to doubt me tell me I would never make it to the top I would be dead before I even released one song. I had to be strong my family started doubting me and that was the hardest part then I realized who cares what people think or what they say. I started off with myself I didn’t let anyone know what my skill was I barricaded myself behind a wall basically I never let anyone in those walls. I kept my head in my notebook with whatever free time I had to spare I would write little songs make little albums I started putting words together like they were part of a jigsaw puzzle. People hated me because they knew the gift that I had they would never be able to wield my dreams started to come true little bits at a time. No one knows me or what I can do and back then that’s the way I liked …show more content…
People find rap music amazing when I rap in a crowd of people they just stop and look at me like I was touched by the gods above they give me a good feeling it motivates me to keep going so I keep going and sound better every time. Some haters say that rap music is a dying genre in a way they are right but if I step to the stage I will bring it back to glory days. I have three people in my rap group they will agree with me that this white boy from Worland Wyoming can spit bars for days. If people think that I’m giving up or that I’m retreating keep wishing because I will keep my skills up to point till the day I die. I motivate people to rap I ask everyone if they can beat me in a rap battle I will pay them two million dollars that much money I don’t even have but still they try fail and feel good afterwards. Even if someone is the worst rapper known to man I still tell them to keep going you’ll get better I know how it feels to just start off with no skill at

I have seen the same in the poor Guatemalan towns I’ve visited and expect I would see those same variables in inner city Baltimore.
