| We need unity in the community
|
| KRS, hip-hop is one
|
| Conscious, gangsters, hustlers
|
| Man
|
| Hiiiip-Hop; |
| I’m livin for that
|
| Hiiiip-Hop; |
| I’m livin for that
|
| Hiiiip-Hop; |
| I’m doin it for
|
| Hiiiip-Hop
|
| Yo — we went from nuttin to somethin, bein real and not frontin
|
| No one was givin us nuttin so we resorted to gunnin
|
| Growin up and we comin, up the ladder not bummin
|
| Dodgin warrants and summons, from the cops we were runnin
|
| Goin to school not for nuttin they teachin lies and assumptions
|
| And they tell us keep comin, comin to school now for what? |
| When
|
| Comin back to a system that’s whack and really not runnin
|
| Oh I’m sorry it’s runnin, it’s not PROPERLY runnin
|
| It’s a conspiracy hear me man it’s got to be somethin
|
| I can get guns faster than I can get an english muffin
|
| And the black church ain’t sayin nuttin
|
| We on our own cousin, I’m stickin to this
|
| I’m livin for this hip-hop, I’m spittin for this hip-hop
|
| I’m givin to this hip-hop, my life is hip-hop
|
| Culture, and y’all know that
|
| Hip-Hop in the media, y’all know it’s whack
|
| But just like them dopefiends who keep comin back
|
| Like the mayor of D.C., buyin Joey’s crack
|
| No disrespect to either one of them but look at that
|
| Study the metaphors in this rap
|
| We bigger than crack, but we keep buyin it
|
| We bigger than rap, but we keep denyin it
|
| Justice, equality, keep cryin it
|
| But the only way to get it is to start applyin it
|
| Fat Joe that’s my bro shows 'nuff respect
|
| Talib, that’s my bro, shows 'nuff respect
|
| 50 Cent that’s my bro he shows 'nuff respect
|
| Common! |
| That’s my bro he shows 'nuff respect
|
| Snoop Dogg is my bro showed 'nuff respect
|
| Dead Prez that’s my peeps yo 'nuff respect
|
| Cassidy’s an MC who shows 'nuff respect
|
| Hip-Hop is one, don’t forget
|
| I’m stickin with this
|
| I’m livin for that hip-hop culture, shape it like a sculpture
|
| Touch it why don’tcha, touch it why don’tcha
|
| Hip-Hop is yours and mine and that’s fine
|
| But hip-hop's culture ain’t about just crime
|
| You caught up in the image and, don’t know they rhymes
|
| You caught up in they bodies and don’t know they minds
|
| So I’m, here to bring the truth in the place
|
| Like don’t think Common won’t punch you in your face~!
|
| And don’t think Talib won’t hold the heat
|
| To stop the violence you gotta know your street
|
| You gotta know who Tanga Reed is
|
| Fat Joe’s a leader, Busta Rhymes a preacher
|
| KRS-One's a teacher
|
| But through Cassidy my lessons are quicker to reach ya
|
| We one community
|
| I’m talkin about unity, in other words you and me
|
| I’m with this |
