| Yo class how u doing? |
| dude, I’m back in the fax
|
| I’m taking time off acting I gotta relax
|
| I need a new beat
|
| Yo freshtro I got a few treats
|
| U been up in the city long?
|
| Nah only two weeks
|
| Cool well, sorry 'bout the weather
|
| It’s been raining all week I hope it gets a little better
|
| Either way class listen, I got a I’ll vision
|
| Bout a song I’m working on you think you got the right rythm?
|
| Man c’mon, you know I got some shit that’ll break your neck
|
| I used up what I want but you can take what’s left
|
| Don’t give me bullshit dog, you know (I blazed a set?)
|
| You know you got something saved for west
|
| I got a I’ll concept hip hop
|
| How to pay a real line?
|
| 1987 I be reppin all this hype? |
| session
|
| And I still be gettin stressin
|
| You know it’s hard to be hip hop
|
| And ain’t nobody stayin real
|
| Don’t pay bills when you showcase skill
|
| Ain’t nobody living off of doing windmills,
|
| I’m painting train rails, that’s real
|
| It’s hard to be hip hop
|
| You know it’s hard to be hip hop
|
| I got no glassy? |
| grills, so my raps ain’t real
|
| Cause I don’t pack steal then my tracks appeal
|
| And to the mass appeal watch how fast they fail
|
| Yeah I’m hip hop son until my cats get sealed
|
| It’s hard in a culture when the fans are fickled
|
| Understand my issue, your old man will diss you
|
| One minute your whack and then your jams official
|
| And then they switch again,
|
| Two bottles of cancer hit you
|
| First they loved L L,
|
| Then they hated him
|
| And then they loved him again,
|
| Then they degraded him
|
| So lately, basically, I don’t know if I can play though
|
| When survival of the fittest, let me see what kind of shape I’m in
|
| Yo stro when I was younger like 19
|
| I could spend all day writing rhyme schemes
|
| Spittin, freestylin, cypherin the streets
|
| But now I got responsibilities
|
| Yo it’s hard to be hip hop
|
| No this is not an illusion
|
| Cats are killing me luke
|
| Thinking lifes like a video shoot
|
| They ain’t spittin the truth
|
| Tru, I got a similar view
|
| But I guess that’s the damage the industry do
|
| I’m 28 unemployed, a grown ass man
|
| Still trying to rap with no fall back plan
|
| Go all out fan you got nothing to lose
|
| Cause only to yourself you got something to prove
|
| Yeah we gotta be hip hop it’s all that we know
|
| Blaze up the shelto stro
|
| Yo on with the show
|
| Get the drum track going
|
| Ok enough small talk
|
| But whatever you drop, keep it hard
|
| It’s gotta be hip hop
|
| You know it’s hard to be hip hop
|
| Gotta be hip hop |
