Golden Child - Perspectives lyrics

[Intro] (Per-per-per-perspective) Yea, it's a new beginning Hip Hop, one two one two The Emcee Check [Hook] They say hip hop's falling apart But that won't stop us from calling it art Yea we gotta hold it down as a collective And make sure that they see our (per-per-per-perspective) They say hip hop's falling apart But that won't stop us from calling it art Yea we gotta hold it down as a collective And make sure that they see our (per-per-per-perspective) [Verse 1] Hip Hop ain't the same it's a shame they closed Rawkus Disappointing like the Knicks to New Yorkers All I hear is a bunch of lames and sh** talkers Where's the Kanes, Rakims and Kris Parkers? Real MC's, are damn near extinct Last time I heard some sh** was Built for Cuban Linx Just think, other than that, the rest of the sh** stinks Better work out the kinks before your ship sinks Sip drinks, get crunk, shake your behind That sh** is cool but it don't stimulate your mind Time to take it back on some '91 sh** The De La, Tribe, Native Tongues sh** Can't forget that Onyx "Throw Ya Gunz" sh** And of course you know you gotta knock that Pun sh** I come from a era where cats would just spit Now after 2 bars I'm ready to press skip [Hook] [Verse 2] I represent the last of The dope MC's, that would never pa** up Any opportunity to rip your a** up Don't let your mans and your fans have you ga**ed up You really not that nice, it ain't hard the first week to go gold When your Label can cop half of what's sold You can have the top 10 billboard spots Keep that, either way I'mma still get props The Emcee ain't got the throne naw not today But I'm only bout 5 or 6 slots away, uh huh I am the source being I'm that nice Nas should've more than 3 and a half mics Keep my craft tight, I know I can No hit singles but I got die-hard fans My instincts got me using the pen's ink Not in a boy band but my flow is in sync [Hook] [Verse 3] On Golden Child tracks I'm at ease To get my point across just like a trapeze Stations charging flat fees To get in rotation, you could put that in quotation I said it, must be genetic On the mic never bite my tongue Give my pops all the credit Corporate America can kiss my a** now All they wanna do is milk the cash cow Could care less if we end up deceased or in jail Long as there's an increase in sales I'm not a rap an*lyst, just a fan of this Real hip hop from NY to Los Angeles Matter fact, any longitude or latitude Where they show the pioneers gratitude And that's the attitude that seems most effective But yo, that's just my perspective [Hook] [Outro] Yea yea The Emcee got (per-per-per-perspective) Golden Child got (per-per-per-perspective) Kamel got (per-per-per-perspective) Get your own (per-per-per-perspective)
