| Hip Hop is dangerous, should be respected and cherished
|
| Keep it tucked in your pocket for the next to inherit
|
| Sacrifice what I write, a Martin on the terrace
|
| Dreams have been built and many of us perished
|
| No pun intended, it’s a rough path to heaven
|
| so I studied all my lessons, earned a button with a seven
|
| I be a father figure, Mr James Evans
|
| We ain’t go nowhere, we them same legends
|
| The climate of hip hop since done changed
|
| But the art and the bars will still remain
|
| Feel the wrath of the cane
|
| As it travels through your veins
|
| Champagne salute to those who whetered the game
|
| We call it hip hop, was sent out the dark
|
| We call it hip hop, was sent out the dark
|
| We need that gangsta music
|
| Don’t let them filter the spirit
|
| Tell your favourite hype stations
|
| in the hood, I wanna feel it
|
| Support can bring a brother to tears
|
| Rap glaciers of ice that been melting for years
|
| Hip Hop is the master, evolution’s constant
|
| and the scene compelling
|
| They say New York really lost it
|
| So we sat at the table with the top heads and bosses
|
| To save the Def Jams when the bosses got exhausted
|
| 'bout to address this
|
| Don’t let me open up the faucets
|
| Pass the torch, get on my grind and I endorse it
|
| Back from the state penn
|
| cooking with my apron
|
| Catching the jackpot
|
| Introduce the elder statesman
|
| Cats wanna deal, wanna peel back a vocalist
|
| I never slip slide when I ride and I open it
|
| Triple XL on the Dell on my poker chip
|
| thought process got depth for a scholarship
|
| Squeeze in, burn it, shotgun permits
|
| I buy a hoodie, I never copped German
|
| I used to run through life like a blind man
|
| But now I walk like i’m stepping on quick sand
|
| Bullies, get fully loaded with lead
|
| Jackpots, scud bottom, I’m two steps ahead
|
| Anticipate, don’t wait, don’t let the bubble drop
|
| I’mma hit more shots than a rookie cop
|
| We call it hip hop, was sent out the dark
|
| We call it hip hop, was sent out the dark
|
| hip hop, was sent out the dark |
