[00:17.96] | |
[00:19.01] | Hip--hip hop hip--hip hop is dead |
[00:22.63] | |
[00:23.50] | Hip--hip hop hip hop hip hop |
[00:26.68] | If hip hop should die before I wake |
[00:28.26] | I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK |
[00:30.50] | Roll to every station, murder the DJ |
[00:32.63] | Roll to every station, murder the DJ |
[00:34.73] | |
[00:45.41] | Hip hop just died this mornin' |
[00:47.71] | And she's dead, she's dead |
[00:51.39] | Yeah, niggaz smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner |
[00:54.27] | Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama |
[00:56.45] | Rich ass niggaz is ridin' with three llamas |
[00:58.51] | Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja |
[01:00.56] | Word to the wise with villain state of minds |
[01:02.87] | Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind |
[01:04.87] | Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind |
[01:07.06] | (Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind) |
[01:09.30] | Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up |
[01:11.42] | Any ghetto will tell ya Nas helped grow us up |
[01:13.55] | My face once graced promotional Sony trucks |
[01:15.79] | Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up |
[01:17.92] | Gave my nigga my right, I could have gave left |
[01:20.16] | So like my girl Foxy, a nigga went Def |
[01:22.60] | So nigga, who's your top ten? |
[01:24.03] | Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren? |
[01:26.10] | |
[01:36.21] | Hip hop just died this mornin' |
[01:48.44] | And she's dead, she's dead |
[01:53.11] | The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin' |
[01:54.86] | Come through, something ill, missin' the ceilin' |
[01:56.92] | What influenced my raps? Stick ups and killings |
[01:58.98] | Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings |
[02:01.29] | Criticize that, why is that? |
[02:03.59] | Cuz Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap |
[02:05.72] | Cuz we love to talk on ass we gettin' |
[02:08.28] | Most intellectuals will only half listen |
[02:10.34] | So you can't blame jazz musicians |
[02:12.59] | Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues |
[02:14.58] | Oh I they like me--in my white tee |
[02:16.64] | You can't ice me, we here for life B |
[02:18.88] | On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey |
[02:21.07] | And for that we not takin' it lightly |
[02:23.13] | If hip hop should die we die together |
[02:25.00] | Bodies in the morgue lie together |
[02:26.68] | All together now |
[02:27.81] | |
[02:45.39] | Hip hop just died this mornin' |
[02:48.08] | |
[02:49.51] | Hip hop just died this mornin' |
[02:52.45] | |
[02:53.88] | Hip hop just died this mornin' |
[02:57.81] | she's dead, And she's dead |
[02:59.76] | |
[03:10.62] | Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game |
[03:12.37] | Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business |
[03:14.93] | If it got where it started |
[03:16.37] | So we all gather here for the dearly departed |
[03:18.36] | Hip hopper since a toddler |
[03:20.80] | One homeboy became a man then a mobster |
[03:23.11] | If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka |
[03:25.61] | R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta |
[03:27.54] | Went from turntables to mp3s |
[03:28.73] | From Beat Street to commercials on Mickey D's |
[03:31.91] | From gold cables to Jacobs |
[03:34.15] | From plain facials to Botox and face lifts |
[03:36.71] | I'm lookin' over my shoulder |
[03:38.34] | It's about eighty niggaz from my hood that showed up |
[03:41.02] | And they came to show love |
[03:42.63] | Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut |
