Yo this goes out to hip hop world wide. |
|
Straight from leimert park, california, los angeles. |
|
Yo, everybody in the hip hop struggle, in the life |
|
Struggle, makin' a name for themselves, makin' |
|
History, makin' a change. |

|
Project blowed what's the code |
|
I been rockin' mics since |
|
I was 12 years old |
|
I was born in the jungle, the concrete slab |
|
Where people take any and everything that they can grab |
|
Some niggas chilled on the block, but chilled in the lab |
|
My project was to blow you up and break you off a slab |
|
People are strange, and people are bad |
|
But the gift of gabrier was something beautiful to have |
|
It started at the good life, house of the first sightin' |
|
We snatched raps out of they mouths when they were biting |
|
There was nothing more exciting then to serve and perform |
|
On crenshaw and exposition |
|
God was born |
|
He said please pass the mic to whomever is tight |
|
Me and the fellowship took it and we held it for dear life |
|
The inner city griots, the wild, the style, the crew |
|
The ones they got their styles from, but claimed |
|
They never knew |
|
Already...yeah |
|
The underground source, which everyone |
|
Eventually feeds from. |
|
Influence the industry in a round about way. |
|
What up to dilated peoples, o.m.d., pharcyde, |
|
Jurassic 5, erule, hobo |
|
JunctionWhat's up saucey, what's up trend, medusa |
|
Manifesto, hip hop clan. |
|
Well the parties jumpin', the blowed is packed |
|
And when a crowds like this |
|
I'm ready to rap |
|
But before |
|
I can bust a rhyme on the mic |
|
I gotta serve you in a cipher just to ear my stripes |
|
The scared battle dog, with the underground catalogue |
|
**** it, tryin' to make the world a better place |
|
Instead of duckin', still tryin' to make the ducktes |
|
Make the knowledge rain down in buckets |
|
Make a little somethin', and tuck it, just to give it away |
|
Build a work shop round where |
|
I staySome people got the love, but they don't know the way |
|
Some people know the way, but they don't know what to say |
|
And I'm the sensei |
|
I greet'em from far and near |
|
Better watch the light in your eyes, a stars in here |
