Yeah yeah, uhhh! I bring it to you live... One more f**in time, lets get it... A k**er on the smooth track, bringing back that boom bap Resurrected from a tomb nap to make the room clap Bleedin' real hip hop sh** since my womb snapped Fell in love with the art the minute the Wu tapped My ear, so enlightened I couldn't veer Rhythm invaded each hemisphere through Pete & Premier Fed through the fodder that taught us to honor The proper technique, the primitive culture of the father Bambaataa And to this day I still keep it smooth like C.L Reminsicin on Big, Pac, Pun and Big L Couldn't forget one, nor the influence of their music Rakim proved that improvement would surely spark a movement Hook: Hip hop's a game where boys will b-boys And the chicks tag their city in search for what they poise Emcees call your DJ for that tip top sh** No need to look no further because Hip Hop's it x2 I feel like Hercules when I pick up the mic Kinda like Kool Herc when he made this sh** right Self expression's what I'm blessing, yo this sh** was fight It was strife, now these rappers are making a grand a night Back then they had to steal for this dream you been livin Knowledge blacked out, this was never up for the bidding But supremacy successfully ruined hip hop's integrity Gotta work independently to bring you some complexity
Contemptuously blinding with ingenious spit That's why KRS is grinding truth with all of his grit All of it's sick, made Scarface ask where the soul at Dilla's grave rollin, mind blown by the format Hip hop ain't a doormat, it's sad we welcomed you in Don't know why you play the villain when it's seldom you win This crime abolished in a minute (my-newt) - a mic reboot So what you gonna do you slack suit motherf**as? Hook x2 Peace to my Zulu fam, rest in peace to Guru man Expandin knowledge and wisdom that's imprisoned in the scam Envision a higher plan, I'm up on the Hill with Lauryn Absorbin the cosmic rays, exploring this space I'm soaring So foreign, but yet so homey, I'll bring my homies Escape the phony, embrace the holy never lonely The one and only, him and Hip Hop rea**ure me Can't deter me, they'll never conquer me I'm worthy No worries, I'm flawed, it was written within the laws Cause Nas spoke the clause to set your systems on pause I channel through the facade to catch a grip with my jaws Bring the gauze, you f**ed with the best that there ever was I'm the Hitman and I'll take you, at any bout Charge a penny for your doubts then let you know I'm about The real, deal or no deal with this Hip Hop sh** One minute I'll be your friend then snatch your wrist watch b**h Hook x2
