1
Hip-hop, it will never die
2
Hip-hop, hip-hop will never, never die
3
Ghetto niggaz struttin' with nothin' but dreams and Queens broke
4
Mack-10's, you can smell the PCP smoke
5
Mele Mel told it real in the music he wrote
6
Those were the days I remember, we used to be close
7
Then I was nine, coldest winter I remember
8
Was slippin' in December, two feet of snow
9
Yeah, that's the East Coast, that black ice
10
Symbolized the rap life, it was slick and smooth
11
I understood I had to come from the hood
12
Doin' the Pee Wee Herman, the Smurf
13
Before them phones chirped
14
The block's drugs flowin', didn't have your own work
15
You had to have somebody else's, a small chrome on your pelvis
16
Starter Jacket, Blue Georgetown or Green Celtic
17
Your girl's too expensive, she wants shellfish
18
Red Lobster was poppin', standin' on that line forever
19
I wish somebody would step on my Bally leather's
20
Now it's whatever, hip-hop's forever
21
Kept my radio on 98 or BLS
22
Had a pre-pubescent lyric gift but niggaz never hear me spit
23
My little brother tried to warn 'em, I was a tornado comin'
24
He knew from inside, like the eye of a storm and told my pops about it
25
He gave us tickets to that Wild Style flick
26
Double Trouble, retarded, we was the proudest
27
I never had a summer job, sweepin' leaves, socks to my knees
28
Homemade shorts cutoff, Lee's
29
I ain't work a day in my life
30
Wipin' away eraser of the paper man
31
I'm just tryin' to say it right
32
Big radio, tape slowin' down
33
Lower the lights go, battery dead
34
I gotta freeze 'em 'til they ice cold
35
In the freezer later, I'm starin' at the speaker
36
Sunk in them 808's deeper, cleanin' my sneakers
37
Wit' the bristles of a toothbrush, soap and water
38
I let the shoe strings soak in water
39
Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop live
40
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
41
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
42
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
43
Ain't got nothin' to do wit old school, new school
44
Dirty South, West Coast, East Coast
45
This about us, this our thing, 'knaw'sayin'?
46
This came from the gut, from the blood, from the soul
47
Right here man, this is our thing man, you know, so I say what I say
48
Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop live
49
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
50
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
51
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
52
And I say what I say and I mean it
53
Y'all take it how you wanna take it
54
'Cause if you're askin', why is hip-hop dead?
55
It's a pretty good chance you're the reason it died, man
56
It's a pretty good chance your lame ass
57
Corny ass, is the reason it died, man
58
You don't give a fuck about, you don't know nothin' about it
59
You want this paper, be a hustler
60
Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop live
61
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
62
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
63
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
64
You a hustler, you ain't a rapper
65
Get your paper man
66
You know what I'm sayin', but this rap shit is real
67
Bitch, this shit is real, bitch
68
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
69
(Live, live)
70
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
71
(Give)
72
Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop live
73
(Stay)
74
Give hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
75
Stay hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
76
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop stays
