Will.I.Am - Hip Hop Warning lyrics

[Intro] I don't really know if it's dead or alive. They called for an ambulance, they say one of them won't be able to make it until March 27th, but in the meantime I'll give it a check up [Hook] X2 Hip Hop just died here's a warning (somebody ring the alarm) Hip Hop just died here's a warning (somebody ring the alarm) Hip Hop just died here's a warning That revenge is coming [Bridge] Man I don't even know if Hip Hop dead but I do know that some of the biggest retail stores is going out of business. Record sales ain't doing what they used to do. Remember when you used go 4-5 million sold, now everybody having trouble to go gold man. There's alot good music coming out the South but alot of nonsense coming out the South. But I can't blame no artist, I blame corporate America for the downfall of rap Hip Hop should die before I'm great I'mma do more than just murder a mixtape I'mma do more than just murder a mixtape I'mma do more than just murder a mixtape [Verse 1] Yeah Pollution I smell that in the breeze But let's try not get mad at the trees Tell'em all not to get mad at the leaves Let's get mad at the idiots who planted the seeds When it comes to mixtapes, I'm known as the Messiah I influenced these other rappers to get tighter Go to every record label that check writer Whoever hired him should prepare to get fired As soon as they kick'em out in Broadway Show'em how to make his Hip Hop the hard way I bring the whole South with me You should just call me Yeah we can make a piñata out of him all day Yeah, and I fynna be gentle you can murder Seline For sending me the instrumental It ain't coincidental how they can get into were mental Then the minute you see it they tell ya it was accidental All rich rappers do is complain Everybody arguing to be on top of the game 9 out 10 rap about coppin' them thangs Or how the gat go BLAGH BLAGH BLAGH when it bang And it seem H-Town got the popular slang Platinum grillz everybody else copping the same (what) Platinum grillz everybody else copping the same Then everybody run to that like it the poppinist thang What is that man?
