Ladies and Gentlemans |
| [00:03.16] |
This an ode to the b-boy |
| [00:05.39] |
b-girls |
| [00:06.84] |
The people out there who do it for the love |
| [00:09.13] |
And belive me i'm not dissin' anybody out there who's trying to get paid， |
| [00:12.31] |
I'm trying to get paid too |
| [00:13.65] |
But I got one question |
| [00:15.38] |
Whatever happened to the heart |
| [00:17.27] |
That pumped the passion into the art |
| [00:18.41] |
The entity that gave you the energy to wanna start |
| [00:20.40] |
Break dancin',imma battling doing it at the park |
| [00:22.50] |
Where the mission was expression not only to top charts |
| [00:24.80] |
I dont know what happened wanting to blow rap |
| [00:26.87] |
You lose soul and passion for the flows and the tracks |
| [00:28.98] |
Radio's lackin' |
| [00:30.05] |
controlled by Fascists assholes doin' damage |
| [00:31.94] |
But we're gunna take it back |
| [00:33.23] |
Before beats to a hundred g's a pop |
| [00:35.07] |
All you needed was a table top and a beat box |
| [00:37.01] |
Hip-hop with out the b-boy is like |
| [00:39.07] |
shelltoes only havin' two stripes |
| [00:41.34] |
Hip-hop we're freedom-fighting graffiti-writing party types, |
| [00:44.58] |
That recite and organize and revitalize our rhymin till the group of the money makers systems knows the industry can eventually get served. |
| [00:49.46] |
Breakers of my verses spinning up a revolutions throughout our words |
| [00:51.76] |
If you really want it come on get it coz i've got it |
| [00:54.38] |
I'm honestly paying homage to forgotten pioneers of this culture that are giving them props and learn. |
| [00:57.86] |
If you wanna earn your stripes you gotta be able to rock this mic and set cyphers alike. |
| [01:01.19] |
The feeling to put in everything you got in the circle |
| [01:04.12] |
or never be documented in the Coke(?) commercial. |
| [01:06.36] |
(We be the badest) |
| [01:22.60] |
Now b-boys, b-girls |
| [01:23.82] |
bring it back to the block. |
| [01:24.88] |
Lemme see you get ill, for real, pop and lock. |
| [01:26.39] |
If you record without thought then stop, |
| [01:28.62] |
because I'll serve ya whole album with the goddamn beatbox. |
| [01:30.65] |
Without thought it just happens. |
| [01:32.55] |
If you gotta think to feel that's not rapping that's acting. |
| [01:34.55] |
I'm from a land of backpacks and Fatcat, |
| [01:37.11] |
MC's with sick raps who serve those that are wack. |
| [01:39.18] |
It's a way of life; |
| [01:40.43] |
I put all my energy into the melody on the MPC's until the death of me, record exceptionally, especially, whenever i be monumentally, gramatically, killing the mic. |
| [01:47.43] |
I tell my DJ's, cranking that music, keeping 'em moving when the beat plays, |
| [01:49.63] |
Staying into it, breaking and grooving(?), and MC's they, thinking that you should always pursue in what their dreams make, taking from lucid (??). |
| [01:55.64] |
All the people gotta make their money, |
| [01:57.40] |
and the way to make money is to get inside of the industry, |
| [01:59.32] |
take it on the radio, flow |
| [02:00.47] |
so you can go blow, |
| [02:01.79] |
we get a car and a crib up on MTV, |
| [02:03.67] |
but,In the end what's classic?radio bubblegum? |
| [02:06.66] |
or a voice filled with passion? |
| [02:07.96] |
To my real hip-hop heads, please stand up, |
| [02:10.12] |
'cause the only people that can preserve this art is us! |
| [02:12.43] |
