[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 boastin' and braggin'
10
What's all the commotion and naggin' about
11
"˜Cause I'm still the champ in the south
12
"˜Cause rappers get in the booth and I keep draggin' them out
13
Where they fired and these pink slips I keep handin' 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
[Ludacris]
27
So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops
28
I do it for hip-hop
29
I do it for hip-hop
30
I do it for hip-hop
31
And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks
32
I do it for hip-hop
33
I do it for hip-hop
34
I do it for hip-hop
35
[Nas]
36
They say I'm so low key, I'm socially awkward
37
Only those that really know me are the ones that I talk with
38
They smile in the light, hate in the dark,
39
you call it beef, to me its's just a fuckin' walk in the park
40
Because you are who you are when nobody is looking
41
That's who you are so when the cash and cars is gone, the day after tomorrow
42
Don't be askin' to borrow, ski maskin' it hard, like the way you rap in your bars
43
I could ride on you and whoever, devise new endeavors
44
I'm as live as hive full of predators
45
Twenty thousands different species of bees
46
Some half poisonous sting, some just pollinating their leafs
47
It's just like rap, some will buzz some will attack, compromising their own life in fact
48
Sixteen years since my first sixteen, pardon the rest of my niggas
49
But I'm the best whoever did it
50
[Ludacris]
51
I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops
52

Yeah, I do it for hip-hop, uh
55

58
[Nas]
59
Why we do it kid, I do it for hip-hop
60
Yeah, I do it for hip-hop, uh
61
I do it for hip-hop
62
[Jay-Z]
63
Hip-hop, started out in the park
64
We used to do it to avoid the Narcs
65
I used to do it so the homeboy Clark can get the fuck off my back while I knocked off these packs
66
I used to rap to impress my friends
67
The past of time when I was gettin' it in
68
Just so happens I'm so illegal with the pen, they ain't want me to do anything illegal again
69
I lost a lot of dawgs to these streets
70
I got Grammy awards on these beats
71
Thank God for Cool Herc
72
Without this shit I probably would've got murked
73
Shout outs to Grandmaster Flash and the cash
74
And even Jaz bum ass
75
Hip hop helped me wash me ass
76
These other rappers couldn't wash my socks
77
That's why I took the number one slot
78
The realest shit in rap comes from my voice box
79
Lord knows when I was on my clock
80
I probably never would've stopped
81
Thank God for hip-hop
