| Hip-Hop — it will never die
|
| Hip-Hop — Hip-Hop will never, never die
|
| Ghetto niggaz struttin’with nothin’but dreams and Queens broke
|
| Mack-10's, you can smell the PCP smoke
|
| Mele Mel told it real in the music he wrote
|
| Those were the days I remember
|
| We used to be close, then I was nine, coldest winter I remember
|
| Was slippin’in December, two feet of snow
|
| Yeah, that’s the East Coast, that black ice
|
| Symbolized the rap life
|
| It was slick and smooth
|
| I understood I had to come from the hood
|
| Doin’the Pee Wee Herman, the Smurf
|
| Before them phones chirped
|
| The block’s drugs flowin', didn’t have your own work
|
| You had to have somebody else’s, a small chrome on your pelvis
|
| Starter Jacket, Blue Georgetown or Green Celtic
|
| Your girl’s too expensive, she wants shellfish
|
| Red Lobster was poppin', standin’on that line forever
|
| I wish somebody would step on my Bally leather’s
|
| Now it’s whatever… hip-hop's forever
|
| Kept my radio on 98 or BLS
|
| Had a pre-pubescent lyric gift but niggaz never hear me spit
|
| My little brother tried to warn 'em, I was a tornado comin'
|
| He knew from inside, like the eye of a storm
|
| And told my pops about it He gave us tickets to that Wild Style flick
|
| Double Trouble, retarded, we was the proudest
|
| I never had a summer job
|
| Sweepin’leaves, socks to my knees
|
| Homemade shorts cutoff, Lee’s
|
| I ain’t work a day in my life
|
| Wipin’away eraser of the paper man
|
| I’m just tryin’to say it right
|
| Big radio, tape slowin’down
|
| Lower the lights go, battery dead
|
| I gotta freeze 'em 'til they ice cold
|
| In the freezer later, I’m starin’at the speaker
|
| Sunk in them 808's deeper, cleanin’my sneakers
|
| Wit the bristles of a toothbrush, soap and water
|
| I let the shoe strings soak in water…
|
| Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop live
|
| Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
|
| Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
|
| I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
|
| Ain’t got nothin’to do wit old school, new school
|
| Dirty South, West Coast, East Coast
|
| This about us, this our thing, 'knaw'sayin'?
|
| This came from the gut, from the blood, from the soul
|
| Right here man, this is our thing man
|
| You know, so I say what I say
|
| And I say what I say, and I mean it
|
| Y’all take it how you wanna take it Cause if you’re askin'- Why is hip-hop dead?
|
| It’s a pretty good chance you’re the reason it died, man
|
| It’s a pretty good chance your lame ass, corny ass, is the reason it died, man
|
| You don’t give a fuck about, you don’t know nothin’about it You want this paper, be a hustler
|
| You a hustler, you ain’t a rapper
|
| Get your paper man
|
| YouknowwhatI’msayin, but this rap shit is real
|
| Bitch, this shit is real, bitch, ha-ha
|
| Live hip-hop live, (Stay) live hip-hop live
|
| Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
|
| Stay hip-hop stay, (Live) stay hip-hop stay (Live)
|
| I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
|
| Live hip-hop live, (Stay) live hip-hop live
|
| Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
|
| Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
|
| I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays |
