What if Hip |
|
Hop was never born, yo? |
|
No Herc, No |
|
Flash, No |
|
Band, No Change, yo |
|
No DJ's, No grab, |
|
No breakers, |
|
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be? |
|
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no |
|
DJ's cutting |
|
No B-Boys, no |
|
B-Girls, No |
|
Grafitti, |
|
No nothing |
|
If Hip Hop was never born? let me make this clearjust the thought of it definitely brings me tears |
|
It's not about a salery it's all about reality, |
|
And Hip Hop is the reality that creates all these saleries. |
|
HIP HOP, H |
|
IP HOP, HI |
|
P HOPIt's in the academies,hauled from the streets of the hood every family |
|
But what if |
|
Hip Hop didn't exist? |
|
There wouldn't be this, there wouldn't be |
|
Chris,Or a |
|
Public Enemy with a black power fist. |
|
No Queen Latifa, no |
|
Will Smith either, |
|
There would only be tight jeans, tight suits and black sneakers. |
|
No Tango hats either, no bandana headdress, no |
|
TV's in the headrest |
|
Who would be a big mess, trust medrew it, without rap |
|
I'd be saying this here in country music. |
|
We be no stars, imagine |
|
B-Boying over acoustic guitars, |
|
Not the sixteen bars. |
|
FEEL ME!The art of sampling as well as cutting and scratching. |
|
It's all ours. |
|
But really think about it. |
|
FEEL ME!What if |
|
Hip Hop was never born, yo? |
|
No Herc, No |
|
Flash, No |
|
Band, No Change, yo |
|
No DJ's, No grab, |
|
No breakers, |
|
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be? |
|
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no |
|
DJ's cutting |
|
No B-Boys, no |
|
B-Girls, No |
|
Grafitti, |
|
No nothing |
|
What if Hip |
|
Hop was never born? let me make this clearjust the thought if it definitely brings me tears |
|
So what if |
|
Hip Hop was never born? |
|
Never known? |
|
Never forever wrong, |
|
Never criticing our songs? |
|
What if Hip |
|
Hop was never here? |
|
Never that flavour in your ear, |
|
Never that thing that make you want to say |
|
OH YEAH!No street millionaires, no billionaires. |
|
No Russell, |
|
No Diddy, |
|
No Wayne, |
|
No Chamillionaire |
|
Let me get this clear, today you have a real choice, |
|
Because of |
|
Hip Hops existance you have a real voice. |
|
But what if |
|
Hip Hop never came around to the boogie down, |
|
Never touched |
|
Herc and it touched another sound. |
|
You wouldn't know about |
|
James Brown, |
|
Pull in the |
|
Funkdelic, the radio and still have a play in the sound. (?) |
|
It's like wearing the same gown as a model,stepping off the runway and go eat out at |
|
McDonalds. |
|
We was the models, and society was |
|
McDonaldsComnplete with a presidential clown, |
|
McRonald.But really... |
|
What if Hip |
|
Hop was never born, yo? |
|
No Herc, No |
|
Flash, No |
|
Band, No Change, yo |
|
No DJ's, No grab, |
|
No breakers, |
|
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be? |
|
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no |
|
DJ's cutting |
|
No B-Boys, no |
|
B-Girls, No |
|
Grafitti, |
|
No nothing |
|
What if Hip |
|
Hop was never born? |
|
Let me make this clear,just the thought of it definitely brings me tears |
|
Now that would be something |
|
No scratching, no cutting |
|
Now Listen, |
|
No cars driving by with the boomin' systems, |
|
No prison coz non of us would be in 'em, |
|
No one would be advertisng that rap to our children. |
|
Sure there be murder, and thugs and drugs |
|
But they be on the low, and hardly heard of,except if you watch the news. |
|
See,If there was no |
|
Hip Hop in society,then there would be fewer alternative views. |
|
See we not about to lose. |
|
Real Hip Hop, is like real estate, |
|
It's never going to move. |
|
I'd be singing the |
|
Blues literally, |
|
If I didn't acknowledge and cultivate the |
|
Hip Hop living in |
|
ME!So what's |
|
It going to be |
|
I ask!Hip |
|
Hop wasn't even supposed to last |
|
So I gotta laugh when |
|
I look at |
|
Flash!Yeah |
|
Grandmaster |
|
Flash is on the tracks, |
|
But where would we be without the cut and the scratch? |
|
SO I ask!What if |
|
Hip Hop was never born, yo? |
|
No Herc, No |
|
Flash, No |
|
Band, No Change, yo |
|
No DJ's, No grab, |
|
No breakers, |
|
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be? |
|
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no |
|
DJ's cutting |
|
No B-Boys, no |
|
B-Girls, No |
|
Grafitti, |
|
No nothing |
|
What if Hip |
|
Hop was never born? let me make this clearjust the thought of it definitely brings me tears |
