[00:00.96] Ladies and Gentlemans
[00:03.16] This an ode to the b-boy
[00:05.39] b-girls
[00:06.84] The people out there who do it for the love
[00:09.13] And belive me i'm not dissin' anybody out there who's trying to get paid,
[00:12.31] I'm trying to get paid too
[00:13.65] But I got one question
[00:15.38] Whatever happened to the heart
[00:17.27] That pumped the passion into the art
[00:18.41] The entity that gave you the energy to wanna start
[00:20.40] Break dancin',imma battling doing it at the park
[00:22.50] Where the mission was expression not only to top charts
[00:24.80] I dont know what happened wanting to blow rap
[00:26.87] You lose soul and passion for the flows and the tracks
[00:28.98] Radio's lackin'
[00:30.05] controlled by Fascists assholes doin' damage
[00:31.94] But we're gunna take it back
[00:33.23] Before beats to a hundred g's a pop
[00:35.07] All you needed was a table top and a beat box
[00:37.01] Hip-hop with out the b-boy is like
[00:39.07] shelltoes only havin' two stripes
[00:41.34] Hip-hop we're freedom-fighting graffiti-writing party types,
[00:44.58] That recite and organize and revitalize our rhymin till the group of the money makers systems knows the industry can eventually get served.
[00:49.46] Breakers of my verses spinning up a revolutions throughout our words
[00:51.76] If you really want it come on get it coz i've got it
[00:54.38] I'm honestly paying homage to forgotten pioneers of this culture that are giving them props and learn.
[00:57.86] If you wanna earn your stripes you gotta be able to rock this mic and set cyphers alike.
[01:01.19] The feeling to put in everything you got in the circle
[01:04.12] or never be documented in the Coke(?) commercial.
[01:06.36] (We be the badest)
[01:22.60] Now b-boys, b-girls
[01:23.82] bring it back to the block.
[01:24.88] Lemme see you get ill, for real, pop and lock.
[01:26.39] If you record without thought then stop,
[01:28.62] because I'll serve ya whole album with the goddamn beatbox.
[01:30.65] Without thought it just happens.
[01:32.55] If you gotta think to feel that's not rapping that's acting.
[01:34.55] I'm from a land of backpacks and Fatcat,
[01:37.11] MC's with sick raps who serve those that are wack.
[01:39.18] It's a way of life;
[01:40.43] I put all my energy into the melody on the MPC's until the death of me, record exceptionally, especially, whenever i be monumentally, gramatically, killing the mic.
[01:47.43] I tell my DJ's, cranking that music, keeping 'em moving when the beat plays,
[01:49.63] Staying into it, breaking and grooving(?), and MC's they, thinking that you should always pursue in what their dreams make, taking from lucid (??).
[01:55.64] All the people gotta make their money,
[01:57.40] and the way to make money is to get inside of the industry,
[01:59.32] take it on the radio, flow
[02:00.47] so you can go blow,
[02:01.79] we get a car and a crib up on MTV,
[02:03.67] but,In the end what's classic?radio bubblegum?
[02:06.66] or a voice filled with passion?
[02:07.96] To my real hip-hop heads, please stand up,
[02:10.12] 'cause the only people that can preserve this art is us!
