hip hop lives

I be representing the real hip hop

but some people just want me to stop

saying it's a waste of time

trying to come up with bad ass rhymes

but yo, some people can't relate

on what makes hip hop great

the dance, the voice, the art, the creativity

deejays rockin from city to city

what a pity this is taken for granted

others would rather be slaves instead

to this evil man society

you say you love me, don't lie to me

every one is selfish and nobody cares

I dare you to play real hip hop on the air

radio play what ever, they don't care

MTV and BET is what kids stare at

thinking that's hip hop culture

kool herc, afrika bam and flash are the pure

krs, tribe called quest wu tang I invest

j 5, visionaries would be my guest

to put on a show so all will know

how real hip hop flows

before I go, I must say

that we gotta pray for better days

so the seeds can grow

they will learn and know

that hip hop has gotten sown

so let's get it on till the break of dawn

cuz were the kings and queens, and there just pawns

life can be full of problems and this is just a song

let's say amen and start to get along

hip hop lives, be strong.
