SO HOW LONG IS 16 BARS?
TAKE A LOOK:
S.T.E.A.M HAS 99 PROBLEMS, BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT ONE. //
PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE UNDERREPRESENTED. //
AND THIS HURTS US ALL IN THE LONG RUN. //
IT STARTS WITH EDUCATION, TEACHING KIDS WHAT’S WHAT. //
AND THEN THE WHOLE INDUSTRY CAN START TO BLOW UP. //
SO THINK OF US AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN YOUTH. //
AND ALL THE GOOD YOUR BRAND CAN DO. //
GIVE US A LIST OF WORDS THAT REPRESENT YOUR FIELD:
SCIENCE, TECH, ART, MATH OR ENGINEERING. //
KIDS USE THEM TO WRITE A VERSE. //
AND THAT KNOWLEDGE GAP STARTS DISAPPEARING. //
OH, AND WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? //
HELPING THE INDUSTRY, CONNECTING TO CULTURE. //
AND MAYBE EVEN SOME FUTURE RECRUITS. //
BECAUSE TO US, RAP IS EVERYTHING. IT OPENS UP DOORS. //
SO THOSE ARE OUR 16 BARS. LET’S WRITE YOURS. //
THERE’S A REASON WE CALL A RECORDING STUDIO “THE LAB.”
S.T.E.A.M. fields and rap music can be a powerful duo. Like Redman and Method Man. Or Hydrogen and Oxygen. So at S.T.E.A.M. 16 we educate kids about S.T.E.A.M in the language they know best—rap music. //
