Honestly, and this is constructive criticism and not an attack, I think that if you want to convey a semi-positive message to more than just a small niche group of people you have to change the vocabulary style of your lyrics and make them more applicable to people that don't already know about these urban problems. The people that live in it already know and don't have to be reminded about what is happening because they see it every day. It would be more beneficial to aim at the audience that is sheltered from it so they can be educated and enlightened, but the repetition of "nigga" and the egomaniacal swagger will immediately pigeonhole you into the category of "just another gangsta rapper" even though that obviously isn't your goal. People will listen to the first 10 seconds of a song or less and determine if they want to listen to the rest or not before more than 4 lines are rapped. If they aren't able to immediately hear something unique to pique their interest, you more than likely won't succeed.
