Hip hop today A lot has changed Hip hop today, hip hop today It’s time
[Verse 1]
Came up in a world that ain’t so safe If you see us say nothing cause it ain’t your place Say no names, you won’t make your grave You don’t want your mom to sing Amazing Grace Why they got rules they don’t play no games All they got is fools that are waving Ks Hip hop was the fuel that made the flame Now everybody’s cool that makes it rain What happened to the days we sprayed the paint? What happened? Even DJs ain’t the same Nobody breakdance and we take the stage And the fake gets paid in a major way They got no respect for who paved the way Most of our youth gonna fade away Dropping out of school cause of failing grades And it ain’t gonna change, it’ll stay the same Click clack goes the strap that’s at my face I don’t even really wanna rap this way Even though I write hooks like Cassius Clay It’s sad to say that rap has changed Rappers don’t tap me to pass the ? Won’t say he ? the latter days And other cats seem to put the gat away Ain’t that a shame? You can have that fame
[Chorus]
People like pop music and they singing for sales For pop music what dream would you sell? How can we take advice and receive it well? From someone who ain’t even being themselves
No not us, we stronger than ? If we stick together we all gonna shine Fuck talking about what car you were driving Talk about what’s really on your mind
[Verse 2]
You pick up the mic better know how to use it A lot of fake cats wanna grab and abuse it This is hip hop, I don’t care what your views is The shit that you be doing ain’t even considered music I never lose it, the type of skill that I got Any so called hits ain’t none of em hot I remember the music that made me float to the top Goosebumps with a chill, what happened to hip hop? Nowadays it’s autotune hooks and even verses With no substance, music without a purpose What the fuck is this shit that you’re trying to serve us? The way the game’s going it’s making me kinda nervous My only words is don’t hate on the skill My style ain’t changed, still say what I feel The culture’s still alive in us, we keep it real Saying fuck the industry turning down record deals
[Chorus]

No not us, we stronger than ? If we stick together we all gonna shine Fuck talking about what car you were driving Talk about what’s really on your mind
[Verse 3]
.38 to your face we ghost and parlay Dope in the hallway movement all day Inside a small space, kids get hauled away The darkest of days ? shackled and chained But they never take my brain I always Keep my eyes open searching for sun rays Push comes to gunplay on a one way You gotta close the curtain one day Scared to run away No reason to live if you won’t die for something Blood pumping rushing, not for nothing Just remember one thing, the end is always coming It won’t be long so be a leader, don’t tag along Put your jackets and shoes on, march with the strong Rise up like hits from the bong till we reach the songs And beyond gotta keep it moving Got it keep it going, time ? never stop for Life’s a bitch and she got lockjaw Goose pop up and then pop off In the streets it’s easy to get knocked off Guerrilla ? in cop cars Life is hard, street life is harsh Fuck pop on my billboard and made hip hop a stillborn
[Chorus]
