Tune Seeker - I Am Hip-Hop lyrics

[Verse 1] In my lil' bro's room bumping D Pryde If you don't know him, check him out, he need shine One of the best yet, like me Like Nas, like Jay, like P That's 2Pac, uh, that's my favorite I used to hate Jay but now I play him I never realized how dope he was I was sleeping on him like opiates I still vibe to Eminem But now it's my turn to step up and then again Move a foot at a time on the stairway To the top of the air waves While I still show love to other local rappers Even if they stay local rappers, I know they matter Cause it's how this whole thing got started And it's a trip how we got this far kid [Hook] Everyday is a big shot I need hip hop, I bleed hip hop Mad love to the disc jocks Keeping this hot, when it hit blocks To the emcees at the tip top Rest in peace 'Pac, and Big Pop In the underground where it get hot I jam hip hop, I am hip hop I love the music, I wake up to it Stuck on that Kanye, "I Wonder" now, ooh it's That fire, even tho it's like 6 years old I play that and it hits my soul Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Gang Starr, all have taught me That it's all about the sk**s, and knowledge dropping DJ Premier, I still wanna make a track with him To this day I still play Eric and Rakim If wasn't for them and Big Daddy Kane I might not be doing this multi-syllable rap today Aye, Swizz Beatz, Dr. Dre Hi-Tek made the beats to help us rock the stage Now it's Mike Will and Young Chop today But Run DMC helped us all "walk this way" Ok, but it's not only music I'm talking about the whole movement [Hook]
