Song : Polo G – Wishing For A Hero (FT. BJ The Chicago Kid)

3 Repetitions I notice

• I notice the same beat playing played throughout the whole song. ( Piano is being used consistently )
• The way Polo G raps throughout the whole song, he doesn’t slow down and is always on beat.
• Towards the end of the song the choir repeat the lyrics ” that’s just the way it is “

3 Changes I notice

• Throughout the song some changes I notice is the different type of social issues he discuss. He goes from police brutality to being raised in the hood.
• I also notice how it changes from him rapping and then the choir comes in at the end.
• The beat of the music changes when the choir joins in at the end.

3 Phrases that strike me

• ” You ain’t my color, then you don’t know the struggle of livin black “
• ” Cops Kill us and we protest, what type of sh*t is that? “
• ” I’m from where we’re unheard and we can’t speak, We go to school, they try to tell us what we can’t be “

Due to the recent events with rioting and protesting, this song came to mind as soon as I read the what we had to do in this assignment. The 3 phrases Polo G says, strikes me because of the current situation the world is witnessing right now. The death of George Floyd caused an outrage in many states throughout America and parts of the song describe what’s happening in the world. Especially when He says ” Cops kill us and we protest, what type of shit is that “, really made me think why is this even a problem. We shouldn’t be going through this regardless of what skin color you are, you shouldn’t be mishandled by cops. This song just speaks a lot on current social issues and Its phrases are what some people can relate to.
