My face was as red and blotchy as a white tee shirt in a ketchup fight- I knew I looked terrible but I didn’t care. Tears burst out of my eyes with passionately and frivolously making my eyeliner race down my cheeks, but I didn’t care.

The way it makes you move, the way it makes you feel, the way it makes you sing even if your sing horribly. Though rap may be a far cry from the prayer that we learned as a child, “1Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing[1]” it does bring questions about its place in our society
