[00:00:00] Hip hop

[00:00:01] It will never die

[00:00:04] Hip hop

[00:00:05] Hip hop will never never die

[00:00:10] Ghetto n***a strutting with nothing

[00:00:11] But dreams in queens broke

[00:00:13] Mac 10s you can smell the pcp smoke

[00:00:15] Melle mel told it real in the music he wrote

[00:00:18] Those were the days I remember

[00:00:20] We used to be close

[00:00:21] Then I was nine coldest winter I remember

[00:00:23] Was slipping in December two feet of snow

[00:00:25] Yeah that's the east coast that black ice

[00:00:27] Symbolize the rap life it was slick and smooth

[00:00:29] I understood I had to come from the hood

[00:00:31] Doing the pee wee herman

[00:00:33] The smurf

[00:00:33] Before them phones chirped

[00:00:34] The blocks drugs flowing

[00:00:36] Didn't have your own work

[00:00:37] You had to have somebody else's

[00:00:38] A small chrome on your pelvis

[00:00:40] Starter jacket blue georgetown or green Celtic

[00:00:43] Your girl's too expensive

[00:00:44] She want shellfish

[00:00:45] Red lobster was popping

[00:00:46] Standing on that line forever

[00:00:48] I wish somebody would step

[00:00:49] On my bally leathers

[00:00:50] Now it's whatever

[00:00:51] Hip hop's forever

[00:00:53] Kept my radio on 98 or BLS

[00:00:56] Had a pre pubescent lyric gift

[00:00:57] But niggas never hear me spit

[00:00:58] My little brother tried to warn 'em

[00:01:00] I was a tornado coming

[00:01:02] He knew from inside

[00:01:03] Like the eye of a storm

[00:01:04] And told my pops about it

[00:01:05] He gave us tickets to that wild style flick

[00:01:07] Double trouble retarded we was the proudest

[00:01:09] I never had a summer job

[00:01:11] Sweeping leaves

[00:01:12] Socks to my knees

[00:01:13] Home made shorts cut off lee's

[00:01:14] I ain't work a day in my life

[00:01:16] Wiping away eraser off the paper man

[00:01:19] I'm just trying to say it right

[00:01:20] Big radio tape's slowing down

[00:01:22] Lower the lights go battery dead

[00:01:24] I got to freeze 'em 'till they're ice cold

[00:01:26] In the freezer later

[00:01:27] I'm staring at the speaker

[00:01:28] Sunk in them 808's deeper cleaning my sneakers

[00:01:31] With the bristles of a toothbrush

[00:01:33] Soap and water

[00:01:33] I let the shoestrings soak in water

[00:01:35] Water water

[00:01:37] Ain't got nothing to do it

[00:01:38] With old school

[00:01:39] No school

[00:01:40] Dirty south

[00:01:41] West coast east coast

[00:01:43] This about us

[00:01:45] This our thing

[00:01:46] No sun has came from the gut

[00:01:48] From the blood

[00:01:49] From the soul

[00:01:52] This is our thing man

[00:01:55] You know

[00:01:56] So I say what I say

[00:01:59] And I say what I say I'm mean it

[00:02:03] 'Cause if you asking
