Hip Hop Tourist |
Some tell me I’m corny and couldn’t call this hip-hop, |
that I bought my whole style at the tourist gift shop. |
Would I score and get props if I babbled about guns, |
if I went «Eminem» I’d get platinum albulms. |
If I had baggy pants and a fat sweater |
and put black paint on my face, would cats claim that I rap better? |
Some say whites can’t be part of the cause, |
speak of colour… my lungs are probably darker than yours. |
Hip-(hip)hop (hop) tourist, they call me the hip (hip)-hop (hop) tourist |
they call me the hip, the hip-hop (hop) tourist, |
they call me the hip-hop tourist, the hip-hop tourist. |
Pardon me, but your palms are surely darker than mines, |
see it’s absurd to think «skin» is your licence to rhyme. |
Don’t limit yourself, it’s all about a dope lyric |
'cause when a mic gets ripped, who gives a fuck who’s holdin’it. |
Just let your mind travel to unexplorable spots, |
forget them black and white movies, set forward your clocks. |
I’m hip-hop, and if it takes shouting and yelling, |
I’ma yell it louder until my fucking album is selling! |
Hip-hop's a ghetto with the gates that they keep barred, |
and I’m the immigrant that can’t get me a green card. |
I’ve tried to prove I’m worthy and loyal, |
my step brothers treat me like a worm in the soil. |
I’ve had my hand coiled on mics and tried to get respect, |
sweated at shows, perfected my flows, but they won’t accept me yet! |
I’ve walked around, on hand on my balls, bragging and flossing, |
fat chain and a gangster-cross dangling off it… |
Hip-(hip)hop (hop) tourist, they call me the hip (hip)-hop (hop) tourist |
they call me the hip, the hip-hop (hop) tourist, |
they call me the hip-hop tourist, the hip-hop tourist. |
I’ve battled 'til forfeit, but I’m banned like the tourist, |
yet I find pastoral peace exiled in the forest. |
Alienated, they won’t hear me today, |
but I’ll get my stripes at the end of this shakespearian play! |
Ain’t a border I can not get round, they can lock me out, |
but I’ma fuck my step-mother 'til she loves her adopted child! |
Recognize when it comes to the flow, |
and just keep it in mind like a fucking slug in your skull! |
the hip-hop tourist, the hip-hop tourist. |
