Verse of The Week

Call me a homer or whatever else you want but truth is even if Jon Hope wasn't from my home city of Providence, I still would have awarded him with my Verse of The Week honors. With lines like "I never lift weights, but I raise awareness", it's nice to finally see someone other then Nas, The Game, Busta Rhymes and the other usual suspects, spittin' the Verse of The Week.

Verse of The Week

I wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the flem on the beat
In the street, they fight cold wars with heat
Believe the more drama, the more karma
It's not a myth, I was Hope before Obama
With the visions of the world where we educate the careless
I never lift weights, but I raise awareness.
I'm strong, my third eye see my first born quiver,
math class, harrassed when he first heard nigger,
I said, it's not the first nor the last,
but board and cash, use your brain like a gun shot blast,
and the impact will keep 'em intact when they provokin' 'em
I know it's in arm's reach, society Utopian
Now how you like them apples, pears, and oranges
You didn't think that this nigga here from Providence,
could change the world, as I stand in the session,
I'm not poor but I beg the question...so answer
(Jon Hope, Verse 2, Telescopes)
