Examining the Lyrics to Raekwon Criminology

By Jane Claire


If you are a good listener of rap songs you will find how the rap songs represent the violence of our society and surroundings. The RaeKwon Criminology lyrics are not different from such representations. The lyrics consist of several segments. These rap songs occur almost on stage of a conversation between two individuals. In the beginning, two individuals are seen arguing and in the mid level of a oral debate takes place which sounds like violence with that includes the end line like "You wanna go to war?" This indicates the intentions of the two individuals.

They tried to be violent and hostile in nature and one tries to take advantages on the other. Some names are used to seek attention to the racial anxiety which may remain between the individuals and that is expanded in the later segments.

In the first verse of the song, the person that tries to build him up and call attention to his power and ability to outfox those who try to confine him from being successful. "Then I react, like a convict and start killin"- is a line that indicates the nature of the person. They possess the attitude of that which they have seen in their fearsome times.

The residual dialogs go on to show the points of pride of the person which he discovers in himself. This is why he considers himself to be more victorious and hardcore to some degree than his opponent.

In the next part of the song there remain the responses. The second speaker looks for showing his power and street integrity to his opponent. He believes he is more powerful than the first speaker. The second speaker also tells that he had killed many people by gunshot and saw huge bloodshed of the murdered people. When these dialogs go on the speaker seems to be repentant for his workings. He also tries to show that the murdered people were the suitable candidate for such punishments. To entertain the audience is not the only purpose of the song; rather it is developed to make people think about violence.
