Hip Hop

[Chorus]

I know my streets, I know my sound

Y'all know my beats, how I get down

I take my steps in leaps and bounds

Nigga, it's Hip-Hop

[Verse 1]

Yeah, yeah, we started from nothing, a couple MCs

Beat-boxin', the crowd in the lunch room

Me and Preem, both names go together

Like they ain't supposed to be separate, like D&D

I said it before, I rep in records' beats

At the HeadQCourterz – rest in peace

Nigga, I'mma hold the shotty, and knock you out

And I ain't gotta know karate like Afu-Ra

It's Hip-Hop, strong or not

This is rap basketball, stats' all you got

Long as you hot, and your flow can hold up

To knowing that all of your short goals is long shots!

Ninety percent of you niggas ain't hard

Here just to get a rep, you not Gang Starrs

The finest flow will amaze

Rap without me is The Source minus the Quotable page

[Chorus]

Hip-Hop is everything around you

No competition

Back to the voice of today

It's real in the field

What's realer than Hip-Hop?

I know my streets, I know my sound

Y'all know my beats, how I get down

I take my steps in leaps and bounds

Nigga, it's Hip-Hop

[Verse 2]

Rhythmically come on with it, I'm long-winded

I will diss you from long distances

You will not get the chance like Choppa, Ness, 

And Dylan to disrespect, who you don't listen to

Egg in the skillet brain – nigga, this is you

Smarten up, every person in the Earth

Be hardened up, but the only target is us

It's Hip-Hop, cars and trucks

I be dreaming about shit like having a hard time swinging

On a nigga or squeezing a trigger or falling

If I land I won't wake up

My six-shot model ya crew

I'm leavin' ya momma faces blue like a Hpnotiq bottle

They feel you the realer you spit, this killer shit is hearin' us

Healin' you if you ill or you sick, mentally, it's –

[Chorus]

Hip-Hop is everything around you

Gotta be something for me to write this

Back to the voice of today

No talent rappers

What's realer than Hip-Hop?

I know my streets, I know my sound

Y'all know my beats, how I get down

I take my steps in leaps and bounds

Nigga, it's Hip-Hop!

[Verse 3]

More venom, 5’9” is like a G5

Illest lyrics is stored in him

Chorus is killing, any warrior feeling

That I ain't God – Lord willing

Trust me, after I crush ya building, 

You will just hush, you won't restore the village

We look toward with killing, real

Though this album is mor-bidly feeling, it's still

Hip-Hop! Fuck your feelings

More rappers dying, much more killing

It's no feeling realer than gambling ya life

Everyday, and waking up to more dealings

Fourteen killings compared to offshore millions

Equals I got a lot more villains

You know that you easily lose, you be on MTV News

For the first time, because you died over–

[Chorus]

Hip-Hop is everything around you

Come alive, y'all

Back to the voice of today

It's all in the game

What's realer than Hip-Hop?

I know my streets, I know my sound

Y'all know my beats, how I get down

I take my steps in leaps and bounds

Nigga, it's Hip-Hop!
