Bob Dylan NOT DYLAN THOMAS wrote and sung the below song...   and, if you were to listen to this song, you would have no choice but to agree with me that BOB DYLAN actually released the FIRST SONG with RAP MUSIC LYRICS...

SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES by Bob Dylan

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
A man in the coonskin cap, in the pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A. Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't tie no bows
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Oh, get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Hang bail, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters
Oh, get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't want to be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

Change This If You Will...

As a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant or WASP, I refuse to walk the streets of Atlanta, Washington DC, New York City, San Antonio, Miami, or Chicago at night because I am afraid of violence that might be perpetrated upon me by blacks, Asians, Mexicans, or Hispanics...  HOWEVER, I am not afraid of LAW ENFORCEMENT regardless of the color inside the uniform.

I did not grow up with the fear of SLAVERY hanging over my head or the notion that I am a SECOND CLASS citizen or that I was born on the wrong side of the tracks.  I grew up Middle Class and learned the value of saving money, working for money, preventive medicine, and pinching pennies...

INTERESTINGLY, I am not afraid of other whites at night...  unless, they look or dress like BIKERS and/or dressed like what appears to be members of a street gang.

ILLEGAL DRUGS in the USA is as easy to procure as a PROSTITUTE or using the bathroom at a fast food chain to take a shit.

ALCOHOLISM in the USA is as prevalent as a male scratching his balls in public or a female needing breast implants to look more attractive with her tattoos.

RAP MUSIC incorporates LYRICS praises harm being done to WHITE CRACKERS and being a white cracker myself, I never know when or where that harm might be accomplished...  and, when it does...  you can be damn sure that LAW ENFORCEMENT will not be around to protect you.

DON"T GET ME WRONG HERE...   I would not want to walk down the streets of Atlanta, Washington DC, New York City, San Antonio, Miami, or Chicago AT NIGHT even if I felt protected which I don't...  those cities are not on my bucket list...

BUT THE POINT IS THAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE AFRAID...

MANY WHITES ARE EQUALLY AFRAID OF BLACKS...
