《I Do It For Hip Hop》歌词

[00:00:00] I Do It For Hip Hop - Jay-Z (杰斯)/Ludacris (卢达·克里斯)

[00:00:16] I do it for hip-hop

[00:00:19] I do it for hip-hop

[00:00:21] Yeah I do it for hip-hop

[00:00:23] Now this is what they call poetry in motion

[00:00:25] My soul bleeds on the paper heart screams with emotion

[00:00:28] This my daily devotion that verses stay deeper than the ocean

[00:00:31] So hip-hop you owe me a promotion

[00:00:34] Yeah I do a little boastin' and braggin'

[00:00:36] What's all the commotion and naggin' about

[00:00:38] 'Cause I'm still the champ in the south

[00:00:40] 'Cause rappers get in the booth and I keep draggin' them out

[00:00:43] Where they fired and these pink slips I keep handin' them out

[00:00:45] 'Cause this is Theater of Mind consider it a sign

[00:00:48] Of what's to come next my money's just fine

[00:00:50] Bank filled with dump checks

[00:00:52] Terrorist threat flow proceed to drop (bombs) like Mr Funk Flex

[00:00:56] But I don't do it for the money I do it from the heart

[00:00:59] I'll do it with the beatbox I did it from the start

[00:01:01] I'll do it for the DJs I'll do it for the charts

[00:01:04] The Van Gogh flow Luda do it 'cause it's art

[00:01:07] I do it for the fans I do it on command

[00:01:10] I do it for the front row I do it for the stands

[00:01:12] I spit it for the hood I do it for the block

[00:01:15] And since nine years old I did it for hip-hop

[00:01:18] So I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops

[00:01:22] I do it for hip-hop

[00:01:24] I do it for hip-hop

[00:01:27] I do it for hip-hop

[00:01:29] And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks

[00:01:33] I do it for hip-hop

[00:01:35] I do it for hip-hop

[00:01:38] I do it for hip-hop

[00:01:40] They say I'm so low key I'm socially awkward

[00:01:42] Only those that really know me are the ones that I talk with

[00:01:45] They smile in the light hate in the dark

[00:01:48] You call it beef to me its's just a f**kin' walk in the park

[00:01:50] Because you are who you are when nobody is looking

[00:01:53] That's who you are so when the cash and cars is gone

[00:01:56] The day after tomorrow

[00:01:57] Don't be askin' to borrow ski maskin' it hard

[00:01:59] Like the way you rap in your bars

[00:02:01] I could ride on you and whoever devise new endeavors

[00:02:04] I'm as live as hive full of predators

[00:02:07] Twenty thousands different species of bees

[00:02:09] Some half poisonous sting some just pollinating their leafs

[00:02:12] It's just like rap some will buzz some will attack

[00:02:14] Compromising their own life in fact

[00:02:17] Sixteen years since my first sixteen

[00:02:20] Pardon the rest of my niggas

[00:02:21] But I'm the best whoever did it

[00:02:23] I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops

[00:02:26] Uh I do it for hip-hop

[00:02:29] Yeah I do it for hip-hop uh

[00:02:32] I do it for hip-hop

[00:02:34] And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks

[00:02:37] Why we do it kid I do it for hip-hop

[00:02:40] Yeah I do it for hip-hop uh

[00:02:43] I do it for hip-hop

[00:02:45] Hip-hop started out in the park

[00:02:48] We used to do it to avoid the Narcs

[00:02:51] I used to do it so the homeboy Clark can get the f**k off

[00:02:54] My back while I knocked off these packs

[00:02:56] I used to rap to impress my friends

[00:02:59] The past of time when I was gettin' it in

[00:03:01] Just so happens I'm so illegal with the pen they ain't

[00:03:05] Want me to do anything illegal again

[00:03:08] I lost a lot of dawgs to these streets

[00:03:10] I got Grammy awards on these beats

[00:03:14] Thank God for Cool Herc

[00:03:15] Without this sh*t I probably would've got murked

[00:03:18] Shout outs to Grandmaster Flash and the cash

[00:03:22] And even Jaz bum a**

[00:03:24] Hip hop helped me wash my rocks

[00:03:26] These other rappers couldn't wash my socks

[00:03:29] That's why I took the number one slot

[00:03:32] The realest sh*t in rap comes from my voice box

[00:03:35] Lord knows when I was on my clock

[00:03:37] I probably never would've stopped

[00:03:38] Thank God for hip-hop

[00:03:40] I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops

[00:03:44] I do it for hip-hop

[00:03:46] I do it for hip-hop

[00:03:49] I do it for hip-hop

[00:03:51] And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks

[00:03:54] Come on I do it for hip-hop

[00:03:57] I do it for hip-hop

[00:04:00] I do it for hip-hop
