[Ludacris]
2
I do it for hip-hop
3
I do it for hip-hop
4
Yeah, I do it for hip-hop
5
Now this is what they call poetry in motion
6
My soul bleeds on the paper, heart screams with emotion
7
This my daily devotion, that verses stay deeper than the ocean
8
So hip-hop, you owe me a promotion
9
Yeah, I do a little boasting and bragging
10
What's all the commotion and nagging about
11
Cause I'm still the champ in the south
12
Cause rappers get in the booth and I keep dragging them out
13
Where they fired and these pink slips I keep handing them out
14
Cause this is Theater of Mind, consider it a sign
15
Of what's to come next, my money's just fine
16
Bank filled with dump checks
17
Terrorist threat flow, proceed to drop bombs like Mr. Funk Flex
18
But I don't do it for the money, I do it from the heart
19
I'll do it with the beatbox, I did it from the start
20
I'll do it for the DJs, I'll do it for the charts
21
The Van Gogh flow, Luda do it cause it's art
22
I do it for the fans, I do it on command
23
I do it for the front row, I do it for the stands
24
I spit it for the hood, I do it for the block
25
And since nine years old, I did it for hip-hop
26
[Hook]
27
So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops
28
I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop
29
And I don't do for the chains and the flashy rocks
30
I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop
31
[Nas]
32
They say I'm so low key, I'm socially awkward
33
Only those that really know me are the ones that I talk with
34
They smile in the light, hate in the dark
35
you call it beef, to me it's just a fucking walk in the park
36
Because you are who you are when nobody is looking
37
That's who you are so when the cash and cars is gone the day after tomorrow
38
Don't be askin' to borrow, ski maskin' it hard
39
like the way you rap in your bars
40
I could ride on you and whoever, devise new endeavors
41
I'm as live as hive full of predators
42
Twenty thousands different species of bees
43
Some half poisonous sting, some just pollinating their leafs
44
It's just like rap, some will buzz some will attack
45
compromising their own life in fact
46
Sixteen years since my first sixteen
47
pardon the rest of my niggas
48
But I'm the best whoever did it
49
[Hook]
50
So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops
51
I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop
52
And I don't do for the chains and the flashy rocks
53
I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop
54
[Jay-Z]
55
Hip-hop, started out in the park
56
We used to do it to avoid the Narcs
57
I used to do it so the homeboy Clark
58
Can get the fuck off my back while I knocked off these packs
59
I used to rap to impress my friends
60
The past of time when I was getting it in
61
Just so happens I'm so illegal with the pen
62
They ain't want me to do anything illegal again
63
I lost a lot of dogs to these streets
64
I got Grammy awards on these beats
65
Thank God for Cool Herc
66
Without this shit I probably would've got murked
67
Shout outs to Grandmaster Flash and the cash
68
And even Jaz bum ass
69
Hip hop helped me wash me ass
70
These other rappers couldn't wash my socks
71
That's why I took the number one slot
72
The realest shit in rap comes from my voice box
73
Lord knows when I was on my clock
74
I probably never would've stopped
75
Thank God for hip-hop
76
[Hook]
77
So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops
78
I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop
79
And I don't do for the chains and the flashing rocks
80
I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop, I do it for hip-hop
