|
| I wanna dedicate this one to the game that put me on the map
|
| Y’nahI’msayin?
|
| I know you love it, the game is so irresistable to touch
|
| You should see me when fienin for microphones that I can clutch
|
| Droppin bombs, combinin the club attracts
|
| like the Ol’Sugarhill Gang, King Tim and Fatback
|
| There’s no question the suggestion was made
|
| The foundation was laid when the Furious played
|
| Grandmaster Flash slayed the competition that was wishin
|
| they could serve the technician with the number one position
|
| Uhh, the real deal, Fearless Four scored
|
| Bambataa was hotter, Spoony was givin em nutta
|
| An’I was all up in my headzone, melody and all
|
| Cosign and The Movement sayin «Yes, yes y’all»
|
| It’s just the love affair that never ended
|
| I recommended that I take microphones and blow em up, ain’t thatsplendid
|
| This one goes out to all the hip-hop do-or-diers
|
| A song is dedicated to the music I admire
|
| Whenever and ever
|
| We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop)
|
| Whenever and ever
|
| We want you, do you feel the same way too? |
| (I need hip-hop)
|
| Kane’s era was terror, he warmed it up Parrish and Erick cat lyrics that’ll make ya turn it up And I was in the cut, chillin in my drop-top Benz
|
| with friends, loungin with my mens, laughin 'bout all the ends
|
| that I spends, making snaps, pumping Kool G Rap and Biz
|
| Dapper Don, Dookie wrotes I’m about to show what time it is At the rooftop, I was with Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick
|
| 'La Di Da Di, Who likes to party?'was the fat shit
|
| I mean I saw this hip-hop thing on every level
|
| Chuck D, PE, yes the rhythm and the rebel
|
| I can reminisce the black fist, Uzi, Terminators
|
| Terror doom techniques that terrorise the lighter shade
|
| It’s all about the game that we play everyday
|
| Eric B &Rakim flow to such a diff’rent way
|
| I’m lovin hip-hop cos it help brothers escape
|
| Let’s celebrate our music people before it’s too late
|
| Survival Of The Fittest-Mobb Deep, and Lost Boyz
|
| Lickin shots got the game hot
|
| They even flipped on 2PAC
|
| Snoop Doggy Dogg put the West Coast in gear
|
| Dr Dre, NWA, Eazy E’s in here
|
| I wanna tell the world they just don’t understand
|
| My man Nas Escobar, Wu-Tang Clan
|
| Keith Murray to the Redman, down south Da Brat
|
| My people are you with me where you at… ya peep that?
|
| I’m on a mission to rejuvenate the funk
|
| Bring the game back and give the do-or-diers what they want
|
| When you hear Craig Mack, Notorious B.I.G.
|
| Latifah, Heavy D, you should reminisce of me Some say it’s Naughty By Nature-'hip-hop in all its glory'
|
| A fleet of battleships floatin in diff’rent categories
|
| My love affair with hip-hop'll never fade away
|
| Sincerely yours, LL Cool J Chorus to fade
