Punk rock music has been used for decades to express dissatisfaction with society, government, or any idea common in mainstream media. Yet punk rock is not simply a tangent of the mainstream, it is a dynamic and fluid genre with many distinct songs. Don Letts, a mainstay in the London punk scene during the 70’s and 80’s, went as far to say that hip-hop was essentially “black” punk. While punk and hip-hop music are stylistically different, the fundamental tone of the two genres is the same. Even throughout the decades, hip-hop has sang the same issues as punk, including the plight of the lower class, police brutality, and gang violence.

In these songs, one can unearth the heart’s deepest desires—desires that are so basic, so undeniably human, that they cannot help but underscore the dehumanizing condition of slavery.

This is probably the most obviously dismal track on this list, as it seems to be about the homeless life in America. The song begins, “oh this hurricane’s blowing us thin / this never ending swirl of American sin / where I strayed on my knees to a bottomless cage / where they throw dollar bills and hope to be saved / the poshest scarf on the warmest day / it’s enough to make you give up, she says.” Other lyrics include, “the hardest thing next to diamond rigs / is the coats we have to wear just to make ends meet” and “let’s just lie here as they paint us black.” The song ends with, “the nervous ticks only the holy get / the country treats as the cities get sick / the lunatics and the Harlem tricks / the country treats as we all get

Throughout the song, Staples creates a mood of fear and anger caused by the feeling of oppression and discrimination towards people of colour, which is developed by the writer’s choice to use words that carry negative connotations. He uses the word “frantic” to describe the police’s actions, as this emphasises their decision to use their weapons in situations that may not require them to be used, especially the use of guns - the weapon that is responsible for many deaths in situations where police brutality was involved. In the following line, Staples urges people of colour to not “panic” as they see the flashing lights of police cars. This is something that has the power to create fear in black people, as it is more likely that they will be questioned and searched than white people, due to the racial stereotype that black people are more likely to be guilty of committing a crime than someone who is white. This presents the power held by police officers and the fear felt by black people towards people who are employed to protect their community. He also uses the word “oppressed” to explain the way that laws and authority can make him feel, showing that although he is trying to fight against this abuse and violence, he also feels saddened that there is even a need for him to fight against such harsh and unjust behaviour towards people of his race. Staples refers to police officers as “pigs”, a term he uses to describe police officers that actively abuse the authority they have, to show the lack of respect he has for those officers. The selection of these words helps the listener to understand the way that

Most people, including myself, who are Rock and Roll enthusiasts have heard of the English punk rock band, known as The Clash. If we were to tune in to almost any classic rock radio station, there is a very high chance we will hear some of The Clash’s greatest hits, such as “Rock the Casbah” or “London Calling”. A song not many Rock and Roll fans are familiar with, however, is The Clash’s “Ghetto Defendant”. “Ghetto Defendant” is a rather unorthodox song, not only due to the background music being played in it, but the addition of American Beat poet, Allen Ginsberg. In this song ,The Clash and Allen Ginsberg, “The most important poet to emerge from the Beat movement” (“Allen Ginsberg”), are attempting to portray the drug-related turmoil and

The song opens with the lyrics, “What's wrong with the world Mama, people livin like they ain’t got no Mama, I think the whole world’s addicted to Drama, only attracted to the things that will bring them trauma” For me the lyric about “No Mama“ The people of today’s society don’t know how to behave properly. We lack knowledge and understanding of the world. We don’t pay attention to anyone but ourselves. We don't know right from wrong. We are completely oblivious to what this world is turning into and all we are doing are things that hurt ourselves and others. This lyric about having “No Mama” saddens me as there are a lot of people out there in this world who do not have a mother to guide them on the right path. We need a mother figure in our life because having a mother teaches us basic life lessons that allow us to survive and be a good person. Such as to always say please and thank-you, respect people, be kind and love your neighbour. I can not relate to not having a mother figure in my life as I have had the same amazing mother my whole life. She has taught me from the moment I was born, to treat everyone equally, be kind, and respect and love everyone. To this
