It's All About Hip Hop

Uh, yeah uh

It's all about hip hop (hip hop)
Hip hop (hip hop) it's all about hip hop
(hip hop, hip hop, hip hop) hip hop

Hip hop a culture that most
People wanna be in
Middle-eastern, Asian, African, European
I'm a bul that's intelligent but know the
Four elements:
DJ'in,  dance, graffiti and MC'in'
But I been seein' a lot
Of people that's uninformed
And need to be enlightened
Like a thunderstorm
'Cause hip hop brung a storm
And they changed shit
First song they came with
Was Sugarhill Gang shit
They got the game lit
But that group had a ghostwriter back then
And nowadays it's the same shit
"A hip hop, a hippie to the hippie the"
Movie, cinema, y'all can remember the
Song, it was ten minutes long
When they spit atcha
But bars is my signature
Let's break down the literature
It was unique on-beat to hear cats rhyme
It was cool to use one syllable at that time
Throwback rhyme: "Yo, I'm not sweet
And if a sucka cross me, he'll be six feet"
Peep: sweet, feet, one syllable
Spit that shit now
And that shit sound pitiful
'Cause in the early 80s in
Some riddles I heard
The best rappers started
Rhymin' two-syllable words
Like, "I'm the King of Rock
There is none higher
Sucker MCs should call me sire"
Higher, sire see? I'm not a liar
Ain't that two syllables? I'm
Tryna paint a visual
In Adidas attire, they were spittin' fire
For you to be original -
What the fans required
The lyricists the only niggas I admire
Hearin' dope lines the only
Time I get inspired
And the subject that I'm
Addressin' is a blessin' i spit scripture
These niggas singin' to the choir
And prior to niggas' desire to wanna be wack
I tried to hold it down and
They tried to hold me back we strapped
All the guns foreign that we pack
We clap the stick
It be barkin' like tree sap
I felt like a gangsta when I heard Ice T rap
Hearin' Rakim and G Rap what made me rap
I felt happy to be black when Chuck D rap
Hearin' Lord Finesse punchlines what
Made me snap kid 'n Play, they made movies
I got to see that
Fresh Prince had a sitcom, that's TV rap
The Fat Boys, Chubb Rock
And that Heavy D cat
Was the first dudes that made
It cool to be fat!
Melle Mel was the first to talk street rap
And Kool Moe Dee had bars
He used to eat cats
KRS was the One who used to teach cats
Kane's name was verified
But he couldn't tweet that
The Geto Boys showed us how
Niggas in the street act
Tribe Called Quest had a different wave
Unique rap each rap I heard from Slick
Rick was slick shit
Kriss Kross showed me that young
Niggas could get rich
LL showed me that you could
Rap and get chicks
And Pac showed me that anybody could get this
Roxanne Shante, Salt-N-Pepa
MC Lyte and Queen Latifah
Just a list of sick chicks
But shit switched
Now it's a bunch of dipshit's
That don't know their history
So it's not a mystery
That some critics be dissin' me
But first do your research
Or your opinion don't mean shit to me
Yo, realistically?
2 Live Crew went to court and fought
So that artists can talk explicitly
And all this was before '96
'cause around that time
I started seein' shit differently
'Cause all the artists started quickly
But I didn't think that they
Could think quick as me (naw)
So that was 'round the time
I picked the pen up
And ever since then a nigga been up
I'm a star since I'm in love with hip hop
I got my chin up
'Cause ain't no tellin' where
I'm gon' end up it's time for bars

Hip hop (hip hop) hip hop (hip hop)
It's all about hip hop
(hip hop, hip hop, hip hop) hip hop
Hip hop hip hop
Hip hop hip hop
