"Rap music, don't want the rap music" (repeats during intro)
[Intro: Remedy] Hey all you hip-hoppers, beboppers, body-rockers Yea.. this is the Remedy right here The solution to your mothafuckin' ear And this is the shit that I grew up on A little hip-hop, wit a touch of rock and roll Feel your soul, lose control, haha
[Remedy] Way back in the days, nineteen-seventy-nine Back back when, I wrote my first rhyme The same year, came the Sugarhill Gang But little did they know about the Shaolin slang R&B, disco, pop, country, jazz Don't think hip-hop was ever just a fad Soundscan and Billboard, look at the sale While other music failed, hip-hop prevailed Rap music was goin' platinum from the start Me, Remedy, come straight from the heart Seventy-nine, Kiss Army, eighty-three, Run-DMC Eighty-six, KRS and Beasties Rakim, G. Rap, the Biz and Daddy Kane Nineteen-ninety-three, end up with Wu-Tang Hip-Hop Music is never gonna die Remedy, Wu-Tang, hip-hop survives
[Chorus 2X: Children of the World w/ sample] "Rap music, don't want the rap music" (repeats all throughout chorus) Hip-Hop Music, Hip-Hop Music, Hip-Hop Music Hip-Hop Music will never die
[Remedy] Twenty long years, many went and came But let me tell you now how the industry's changed Everybody wanna rock ice, everybody swear that they nice (Yup, yup) Everybody wanna be somebody, nobody's nothin' Everybody wants somethin', keep on frontin' (WHAT? WHAT? WHOA!) Yo, there's no more love for the music, everyone abuse it Politics and cash now rules it Your A&R's are wannabe rock and rap stars Lost in enforcin' the spot that they are All of y'all artists that have waited for the fame A word of advice, yo this is not a game Some cash in, now some cash out And most don't know what they talkin' about Ninety-nine I must have been I'm crazy Thinkin' that I'd walk into his office on some old Slim Shady Love and respect broke fast with the record Not commercial enough for Russel Simmons Now Hip-Hop Music is never gonna die Remedy, Wu-Tang, hip-hop survives
[Chorus 2X]
[Outro: Remedy (Children of the World)] "Rap music, don't want the rap music" (repeats to fade) Listen.. never die Pop music, never die (Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, Remedy will never fight) Yes he will (Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, we will survive) Hip-hop.. never die.. never die.. never die Never die.. never die.. survive
