| Yeah, niggas want to talk about this rap shit
|
| Niggas want to talk about this money
|
| About these cars, these homes, these labels
|
| Clothes, sneakers, big money shit
|
| Now everybody trying to get rich
|
| Now get rich niggas, fuck it
|
| Some rap pioneers be them crackheads
|
| When they speak, you see missin' teeth
|
| Silver chain with a silver piece
|
| Niggas your grandfather’s age, they pants still hangin' down they legs,
|
| talkin' about they ain’t paid
|
| And they hate you, ‘cause they say you ain’t pay dues
|
| And
|
| I feel it’s a problem we gotta resolve
|
| Hip-Hop been dead, we the reason it died
|
| Wasn’t Sylvia’s fault or because MC’s skills are lost
|
| It’s because we can’t see ourselves as the boss
|
| Deep-rooted through slavery, self-hatred
|
| The Jewish stick together, friends in high places
|
| We on some low level shit, we don’t want niggas to ever win
|
| See, everybody got a label
|
| Everybody’s a rapper, but few flow fatal
|
| It’s fucked up, it all started from two turntables
|
| When they crown you and you rise up to your position
|
| Carry on tradition |
| When they knight you, then you go to fight
|
| Go to war, don’t petition, carry on tradition
|
| Carry on tradition, carry on, ca-carry on, carry on tradition
|
| Carry On Tradition
|
| When you rep what we rep, then carry on tradition
|
| Now some of these new rappers got their caps flipped backwards
|
| With their fingers intertwined in some gang-sign madness
|
| I got an exam, let’s see if y’all pass it
|
| Let’s see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest
|
| Some of you new rappers, I don’t understand your code
|
| You have your man shoot you, like in that Sopranos episode
|
| Do anything to get in the game, mixtapes
|
| You spit hate against bosses; |
| hungry fucks are moralless
|
| You should be tossed in a pit full of unfortunate vocalists
|
| Niggas, I could’ve wrote your shit
|
| I had off-time, was bored with this
|
| I could’ve made my double-LP
|
| Just by samplin' different parts of Nautilus
|
| Still came five on the charts with zero audience
|
| The lane was open and y’all was droppin' that garbage shit
|
| Y’all got awards for your bricks — it got good to ya |
| You started tellin' them bigger dogs to call it quits?! |
| WHAT?
|
| When they crown you and you rise up to your position
|
| Carry on tradition
|
| When they knight you, then you go to fight
|
| Go to war, don’t petition, carry on tradition
|
| Carry on tradition, carry on, ca-carry on, carry on tradition
|
| Carry On Tradition
|
| When you rep what we rep, then carry on tradition
|
| Now niggas got the studio poppin', it’s mad clearer
|
| Engineers got his earplugs and still hear us
|
| The live-in-the-park sound versus the studio state of art sound.
|
| We on the charts now
|
| From British Walkers and Argyles
|
| Look at us rap stars now, with our black cars now
|
| Fortune 500 listed, brunches, Cipriani’s
|
| Sippin', blunted, with rich white guys around me
|
| Thick white girls around me, Chinese lined up
|
| Because I’m what? |
| Every dime lust
|
| We used to be a ghetto secret; |
| can’t make my mind up
|
| If I want that or the whole world to peep it
|
| Now carry on tradition
|
| Fuck a bum wack rapper makin' his career out of dissin'
|
| Peace to the strugglin' artists and dead one’s gone, we miss 'em, |
| I promise I carry on tradition
|
| When they crown you and you rise up to your position
|
| Carry on tradition
|
| When they knight you, then you go to fight
|
| Go to war, don’t petition, carry on tradition
|
| Carry on tradition, carry on, ca-carry on, carry on tradition
|
| Carry On Tradition
|
| When you rep what we rep, then carry on tradition |
