Hip hop just died this mornin'
13
And she's dead, she's dead
14
[Verse:]
15
Yeah, niggaz smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner
16
Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama
17
Rich ass niggaz is ridin' with three llamas
18
Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja
19
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
20
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind

22
(Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind)
23
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up
24
Any ghetto will tell ya Nas helped grow us up
25
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
26
Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up
27
Gave my nigga my right, I could have gave left
28
So like my girl Foxy, a nigga went Def
29
So nigga, who's your top ten?
30
Is it mc Shan? Is it mc Ren?

Hip hop just died this mornin'

And she's dead, she's dead
35
[Verse 2:]
36
The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'
37
Come through, something ill, missin' the ceilin'
38
What influenced my raps? Stick ups and killings
39
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings
40
Criticize that, why is that?
41
Cuz Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
42
Cuz we love to talk on ass we gettin'
43
Most intellectuals will only half listen
44
So you can't blame jazz musicians
45
Or David Stern with his nba fashion issues
46
Oh I they like me--in my white tee
47
You can't ice me, we here for life B
48
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey
49
And for that we not takin' it lightly
50
If hip hop should die we die together
51
Bodies in the morgue lie together
52
All together now

Hip hop just died this mornin'
56
Hip hop just died this mornin'

Hip hop just died this mornin'
58
And she's dead, she's dead
59
[crowd chanting "Hip hop!" becomes beat]
60
[Verse 3:]
61
Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
62
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
63
If it got where it started
64
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
65
Hip hopper since a toddler
66
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
67
If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka
68
R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
69
Went from turntables to mp3s
70
From "Beat Street" to commercials on Mickey D's
71
From gold cables to Jacobs
72
From plain facials to Botox and face lifts
73
I'm lookin' over my shoulder
74
It's about eighty niggaz from my hood that showed up
75
And they came to show love
76
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut
