|
[Zion whispers] I got a bird's eye view |
|
[Girl in the background] Hip hop, is so many things you can say about it, know what I mean? |
|
Like, on the real, hip hop is like, just, beautiful |
|
Hip hop is life |
|
[Verse 1] |
|
From the first time I saw you, infatuation |
|
Pulled to the side to provide conversation |
|
Wild reputation but you were so cool |
|
Any old fool knew that you was a jewel |
|
Ghetto to ghetto, your influence settled |
|
More hardcore than r&b but not metal |
|
Blacker than a kennel, you made me feel mellow |
|
Introduction to my life, I said "hello" |
|
Meet me in a minute 'cause I gotta finish school |
|
Some of my homies, they never finished puffin' woo's |
|
Stayin' up late, always studying the tapes |
|
The world watched you fall in love, I guess fate had a, |
|
Grip on my mind state, I wanna rhyme, wait |
|
I fell in line, getting signed at the wrong gates |
|
And so my heart braced at first for real |
|
But I would still be lovin' you 'cause deep is what I feel |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I got a bird's eye view (hip hop...the realness) |
|
I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu |
|
I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu |
|
[x2] |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
She's the one I always count on, one that wouldn't leave me |
|
One that's in the city always written in graffiti |
|
One that keeps me company, when I'm all alone |
|
She's my heart, my mind, my spirit and my bones |
|
She's the only one I know that would go across the globe |
|
Meet me in a foreign land, treat me like I'm home |
|
Everything I own, give to her, she deserves it |
|
Treats me like a king, every syllable is perfect |
|
Searched through the earth for a reason just to be here |
|
And since I met her every moment's like a leap year |
|
Baby you can sleep here, you can stay with me |
|
Anywhere you go, know I'm probably gon' be |
|
Full of energy, and you never acting tired |
|
You're everything I need, when I prayed, God supplied |
|
You my chunky fire, blessings you provide |
|
Always in my life 'til the day that I die |
|
[Chorus x2] |
|
(hip hop, hip hop, hip hop...is life) |
