Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Jones/Storch
[00:03.32]
[00:04.13] Yea, niggaz want to talk about this rap shit
[00:06.75] Niggaz want to talk about this money
[00:09.25] About these cars, these homes, these labels
[00:14.06]
[00:15.61] Clothes, sneakers, big money shit
[00:19.17] Now everybody tryin' to get rich
[00:21.29] Now get rich niggaz, fuck it
[00:23.23] Some rap pioneers, be them crackheads
[00:24.60] When they speak, you see missin' teeth
[00:27.47] Silver chain with a silver piece
[00:29.28] Niggaz your grandfather's age
[00:30.40] They pants still hangin' down they legs talkin' about they ain't paid
[00:33.96] And they hate you, 'cause they say, you ain't pay dues
[00:36.23]
[00:38.41] And *edited* *edited* was stealin' and robbin' them
[00:40.16] I feel it's a problem we gotta resolve
[00:41.59] Hip-Hop been dead, we the reason it died
[00:44.40] Wasn't Sylvia's fault or because MC's skills are lost
[00:47.52] It's because we can't see ourselves as the boss
[00:49.58] Deep-rooted through slavery, self-hatred
[00:51.52] The Jewish stick together, friends in high places
[00:54.82] We on some low level shit
[00:56.63] We don't want niggaz to ever win
[00:58.69] See, everybody got a label
[01:00.44] Everybody's a rapper but few flow fatal
[01:02.88] It's fucked up, it all started from two turntables
[01:06.18] When they crown you - and you rise up to your position
[01:09.37] +Carry On Tradition+
[01:11.30] When they knight you - then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition
[01:15.17] +Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+
[01:18.29] Carry on, ca-carry on, +Carry On tradition+
[01:21.02]
[01:21.90] +Carry On Tradition+, when you rep what we rep
[01:25.39] Then +Carry On Tradition+
[01:27.02] Now some of these new rappers got their caps flipped backwards
[01:29.13] Wit their fingers intertwined in some gang-sign madness
[01:31.63] I got an exam, let's see if y'all pass it
[01:34.25] Let's see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest
[01:36.98] Some of you new rappers, I don't understand your code
[01:39.41] You have your man shoot you, like in that Sopranos episode
[01:41.99] Do anythin' to get in the game, mixtapes, you spit hate
[01:45.07] Against bosses; hungry fucks are moraless
[01:47.45] You should be tossed in a pit full of unfortunate vocalists
[01:49.88] Niggaz, I coulda wrote your shit; I had off-time, was bored wit this
[01:54.08] I coulda made my double-LP, just by samplin' different parts of Nautilus
[01:57.14] Still came five on the charts with zero audience
[02:00.78] The lane was open and y'all was droppin' that garbage shit
[02:03.58] Y'all got awards for your bricks - it got good to ya
[02:06.27] You started tellin' them bigger dogs to call it quits?! WHAT?
[02:09.44] When they crown you - and you rise up to your position
[02:13.05] +Carry On Tradition+
[02:14.37] When they knight you - then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition
[02:17.60] +Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+
[02:20.35] Carry on, ca-carry on, +Carry On tradition+
[02:23.97]
[02:24.53] +Carry On Tradition+, when you rep what we rep
[02:27.72] Then +Carry On Tradition+
[02:28.83] Now niggaz got the studio poppin', it's mad clearer
[02:31.27] Engineers got his earplugs and still hear us
[02:33.64] The live-in-the-park sound, versus the studio state of soundart
[02:38.57] We on the charts now; from British Walkers and Argyles
[02:41.70] Look at us rap stars now, wit our black cars now
[02:44.69] Fortune 500 listed, brunches, sip Cipriani's
[02:47.24] Sippin', blunted, with rich white guys around me
[02:50.24] Thick white girls around me, Chinese uplined
[02:53.24] Because I'm what?, every dime lust
[02:55.24] We used to be a ghetto secret; can't make my mind up
[02:58.43] If I want that or the whole world to peep it
[03:01.11] Now +Carry On tradition+
[03:02.60] Fuck a bum wack rapper makin' his career out of dissin'
[03:06.41] Peace to the strugglin' artists and dead one's gone, we miss 'em
[03:09.15] I promise I +Carry On tradition+
[03:11.28] When they crown you - and you rise up to your position
[03:14.71] +Carry On Tradition+
[03:15.90] When they knight you - then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition
[03:19.75] +Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+
[03:23.37] Carry on, ca-carry on, +Carry On tradition+
[03:27.05] +Carry On Tradition+, when you rep what we rep
[03:30.36] Then +Carry On Tradition+
