| 作曲 : Boyd, Williams | |
| Verses alternate between Classified and Maestro starting with Maestro | |
| Yo Class how you doing? Dude, I'm back in the Fax | |
| I'm taking time off the act and I gotta relax | |
| I need a new beat | |
| Yo Freshtro I got a few treats | |
| You been up in the city long? | |
| Nah, only two weeks | |
| Cool well, I'm sorry 'bout the weather | |
| It's been raining all week I hope it gets a little better | |
| Either way Class listen, I got a ill vision | |
| 'bout a song I'm working on, you think you got the right rhythm? | |
| Man c'mon, you know I got some shit that'll break your neck | |
| I used up what I want but you can take what's left | |
| Don't give me bullshit dog, you know I blazed a set | |
| You know you got something saved for Wes | |
| I got a ill concept hip hop | |
| How to pay a real line? This is why | |
| 1987 I be reppin in the ciphers and the sessions | |
| And I still be gettin stressin | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| And ain't nobody stayin real | |
| Don't pay bills when you showcase skill | |
| Ain't nobody living off of doing windmills, | |
| I'm painting train rails, that's real | |
| It's hard to be hip hop | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| It's hard to be hip hop | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| But we gotta be hip hop | |
| I got no gassy grills, so my raps ain't real | |
| Cause I don't pack steel through my tracks appeal | |
| And to the mass appeal watch how fast they fail | |
| Yeah I'm hip hop son, that's how my casket's sealed | |
| It's hard in a culture when the fans are fickled | |
| Understand my issue, your old man will diss you | |
| One minute you're whack and then your jam's official | |
| And then they switch again, | |
| Two bottles of cancer hit you | |
| First they loved L.L. | |
| Then they hated him | |
| And then they loved him again | |
| Then they degraded him | |
| So lately, basically, I don't know if I can play to win | |
| Survival of the fittest, let me see what kind of shape I'm in | |
| Yo 'stro when I was younger like 19 | |
| I could spend all day writing rhyme schemes | |
| Spittin', freestylin', cypherin' the streets | |
| But now I got responsibilities | |
| Yo it's hard to be hip hop | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| It's hard to be hip hop | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| But we gotta be hip hop | |
| No this is not an illusion | |
| No this is not an illusion | |
| No this is not an illusion | |
| No this is not an illusion | |
| Cats are killing me Luke | |
| Thinking life's like a video shoot | |
| They ain't spittin' the truth | |
| True, I got a similar view | |
| But I guess that's the damage the industry do | |
| I'm 28 unemployed, a grown ass man | |
| Still trying to rap with no fall back plan | |
| Go all out fan you got nothing to lose | |
| 'cause only to yourself you got something to prove | |
| Yeah we gotta be hip hop it's all that we know | |
| Blaze up the shelto' 'stro | |
| Yo on with the show | |
| Get the drum track going | |
| Yeah enough small talk | |
| But whatever you drop, keep it hot | |
| It's gotta be hip hop | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| It's hard to be hip hop | |
| You know it's hard to be hip hop | |
| But we gotta be hip hop, gotta be hip hop |
