Essay: Violent lyrics in rap music should be banned?

   Music is considered the worldwide language, that everyone can undestand. But, what if songs' lyrics contain violent messages? Should we bann them? In my opinion, I think we should.    From my point of view, I agree with the freedom that exists nowadays about listening to music. But there are music styles that contain innapropiate messages, like rap music. In our society, a lot of parents can't always control what their children listen to.    Secondly, rap singers are the idols of millions of teenagers, who try to imitate them. Obviously, we don't want our children to behave bad, so, if there is a law that force rappers to write lyrics that are less wiolent, our children's behaviour might be better.    In conclusion, a law that prevent children and teenagers from listening to violent songs, woulde be better for our society, Don't be offended about the contents of this essay; it's all imagination.
