J.R. writes about things the I care and worry about

I found Past, Present and Future. An original full-length Hip-Hop CD created by John, an 8th grader in Maryland in Space #3.

I enjoy the song “When will I die?” because it talks about when he dies he wants to be a star who died.

One line that stands out for me is:

I don’t want to go to hell
Want to go to heaven
Just like the lucky guy who hit three 7’s

I think this is talking about how when he grows up he doesn’t want bad stuff to happen to him. I agree that you have to be lucky to stay away from bad stuff.

Another part that I like is where he prays at night.

When I’m here
I be praying most of the time
If you want to hate
Go ahead and kill me
Make a crime

I pray like that sometimes too, not worrying about people who hate.

I look forward to listening to more songs on J.R.’s whole CD. I like his songs, because he talks about things I care about and worry about.
