Lastly, even though lyrics follow the urban society’s view on their own situations, many contemplate that the content can be mislead, over exaggerate or inappropriately describe the nation and its people. As often as Americans preach the good word of fairness and equality, the American urbanites filling cities like Chicago, Atlanta and Watts were locked out of the sermon.
