| (Yeah)
|
| Yeah
|
| (Yeah)
|
| Ah-ha
|
| (Ah-ha)
|
| Ah-ha
|
| (Ah-ha)
|
| Hardcore!
|
| Word
|
| Hardcore!
|
| (You really think they’re ready, black?)
|
| Let’s break it all the way down
|
| All the way down
|
| Huh-huh
|
| Don’t be fooled…
|
| Don’t be fooled…
|
| Rap is something you do
|
| Hip-hop is something you live
|
| Rap is something you do
|
| Hip-hop is something you. |
| (*crowd responds «live!»)
|
| Rap is something you do
|
| Hip-hop. |
| (*crowd responds «is something you live!»)
|
| You are not just doing hip-hop.
|
| (*crowd responds «You are hip hop!»)
|
| Yeah
|
| Let’s get this started
|
| Word up
|
| You gotta — get — your — self — up
|
| You been knocked down?
|
| Get yourself up
|
| You been shot down?
|
| Get yourself up
|
| You been locked down?
|
| Get yourself up
|
| Get — your — self — up
|
| Been knocked down?
|
| Get yourself up
|
| Been shot down?
|
| Get yourself up
|
| You been locked down?
|
| Get yourself up
|
| What is a real hip-hop MC?
|
| Is it MTV?
|
| Is it BET?
|
| Is it five M-I-C's so the people can see?
|
| I mean, how you think you’re free when you act like property?
|
| Tell me, how do you judge an MC when he’s rockin'?
|
| I mean, rockin' it live, not pickin his cotton?
|
| I mean, adjusting his clothes? |
| I mean, how do you know
|
| Before you come to the show that you’re not gettin heated?
|
| That you’re not gettin cheated?
|
| That you ain’t come to the club thinkin', 'I must’ve been weeded'?
|
| (Word)
|
| You got to be a educated consumer
|
| Spend your money on MC’s 'cause these rappers’ll do ya
|
| All they want is your cash, ass, grass, gas and a flick
|
| When you ask for that autograph they ass-dash quick
|
| Beware of the rapper, he talks like it don’t matter
|
| He pulls his gat while we bust off the gat-ler
|
| This is «The Sneak Attack»
|
| The «Edutainment» style returns like that
|
| Take it off your shelf
|
| 'Cause all we deal wit is knowledge of self, health and wealth
|
| Not Stealth bombers, leather goose bombers
|
| Original hip-hop armor on cd-rom — uh
|
| You got to get with a
|
| 21st century philosopher
|
| Representin' the religion of hip-hop sir
|
| Those that oppose are foes and will get rocked — uh
|
| Stop, uh
|
| I rise like a helicopter
|
| Like Zulu I’ll Shaka, crowd
|
| With a beat that’s loud
|
| Huh, I’m black and I’m proud, irrelevant
|
| I’m black and intelligent
|
| I teach my kids to watch the education they give 'em
|
| 'Cause it’s really all about street wisdom
|
| True hip-hoppers don’t bleed
|
| True hip-hoppers don’t need
|
| True hip-hoppers don’t speed
|
| No time for greed
|
| True hip-hoppers do read and will lead
|
| Not plead
|
| Will sow seeds that breed
|
| Ah-ha that’s safer than weed, indeed
|
| True hip-hoppers don’t slave
|
| True hip-hoppers don’t crave
|
| Silver and gold, we’re not amazed
|
| We live F-R-E-E
|
| If you not into lyrics you can’t really hear it nor see me
|
| My philosophy keeps it plain and simple
|
| Here it is: the kingdom of hip-hop is within you
|
| Or is it the kingdom of hell that sends you?
|
| I’m ringin a bell within you
|
| You only seekin to sell
|
| That’s what sin do
|
| It tells you to put your craft on a menu, a chart
|
| So they can sell you and your art |
