The year is 2004 people talk about war |
| [00:12.160] |
I had to hit the floor when the bombs began toopour |
| [00:14.590] |
Ten minutes ago I was mad cause my stomach was grumbling |
| [00:17.520] |
Now the whole world is crumbling |
| [00:19.770] |
I hear people scream across the street gettin crushed |
| [00:22.330] |
This went on for twenty minutes then the whole world hushed |
| [00:24.440] |
I couldn't see shit but I could feel myself breathin |
| [00:27.380] |
Damn I'm still kickin but I'm just not believing |
| [00:29.440] |
I give thanks to God then I'm off on my mission |
| [00:32.500] |
Ain't no stars in the sky so it ain't no wishin |
| [00:35.000] |
I wonder I wonder I just can't under-stand |
| [00:37.120] |
|
| [00:38.740] |
Why am I the last man |
| [00:56.280] |
|
| [00:59.070] |
These crazy thoughts in my head won't stop |
| [01:03.120] |
Where's my moms and my pops and what about hip-hop |
| [01:05.810] |
I'm pickin up things that could be of use to me |
| [01:08.300] |
Too build a makeshift crib where Hollywood used to be |
| [01:10.870] |
And it ain't no forties it ain't no blunts |
| [01:13.240] |
I ain't had no ass in five years and eight months |
| [01:15.850] |
Five more years pass and I still survive |
| [01:18.480] |
And I'm through with wonderin who's still alive |
| [01:21.220] |
Until one day I'm just walkin along |
| [01:23.410] |
And I hear this kid singin a hip-hop song |
| [01:25.960] |
He said "That's the way it is and it's like that" |
| [01:28.590] |
I said "Yo kid c'mere where you learn that song at " |
| [01:31.270] |
He said "My daddy taught me about the hip-hop game |
| [01:33.710] |
I'm eight years old and Rakim is my name" |
| [01:36.320] |
He said "Yo I'll take you to him come follow me; |
| [01:38.950] |
But first you gotta prove that you can MC" |
| [01:41.000] |
So I cleared my throat got in a b-boy stance |
| [01:43.880] |
And I ran through a rhyme that made him piss in his pants |
| [01:46.630] |
With tears in his eyes he grabbed me by the hand |
| [01:49.180] |
And then we ran ten miles across the sand |
| [01:51.550] |
He took me to the spot dig deep underground |
| [01:53.550] |
Where I can hear the sound of the big bass pound |
| [01:56.730] |
I wasn't really sure but I swore we smelled blunt smoke |
| [01:59.600] |
No joke loc well can I get a joke |
| [02:02.030] |
He took me to his pops and he handed me a spliff |
| [02:04.650] |
And out behind the wall came Tash and E-Swift |
| [02:06.960] |
They took me to a freestle session it was on |
| [02:09.460] |
I knew hip-hop would never be gone |
| [02:12.460] |
FIve hundred hip-hop deep |
| [02:14.250] |
