KRS-One & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives (I Come Back) lyrics

[Hook] I come back Every year I get newer I'm the dust on the moon I'm the trash in the sewer, let's go I come back Every year I get brighter If you thinking hip-hop is alive hold up your lighter, let's go I come back Every year I'm expanding Talking to developers about this city we planning, c'mon I come back Through any endeavor, this is hip-hop We gone last forever [Verse 1] Hip means to know It's a form of intelligence To be hip is to be up-date and relevant Hop is a form of movement You can't just observe a hop You got to hop up and do it Hip and hop is more than music Hip is the knowledge, hop is the movement Hip and hop is intelligent movement Or relevant movement We selling the music So write this down on your black books and journals: hip-hop culture is eternal Run and tell all your friends An ancient civilization has been born again, it's a fact [Hook] I come back Every year I'm the Strongest Krs-one, Marley Marl Yup we last the longest, let's go I come back Cause I'm not in the physical I create myself man I live in the spiritual I come back through the cycles of life If you been here once you gone be here twice So I tell you, I come back Cause you must learn too Hip-hop culture is eternal [Verse 2] Hip-hop- Her Infinite Power, Helping Oppressed People We are unique and unequaled Hip-hop - Holy Integrated People, Having Omnipresent Power The watchman's in the tower of hip-hop Hydrogen Iodine Phosphorous, Hydrogen Oxygen Phosphorous That's called hip-hop The response of cosmic consciousness To our condition as hip-hop We gotta think about the children we bringing up When hip and hop means intelligence springing up We singing what, sickness, hatred, ignorance and poverty Or health, love, awareness and wealth Follow me [Hook] We will be here forever, we will still be here forever Get what I'm saying, forever Marley I come back Every year I get newer That's that That's that
