[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!
