Pop's Rap III
4
[Pops]
5
Hey, hey old bean
6
And you to baby sweetness
7
Yeah, this is Pops, and I'm back in the studio
8
And I didn't have to break in this time
9
I'm back as a special guest by special request
10
And I want to thank my son for loaning me this microphone once again
11
They may have to wrassle to get it back
12
You know, as a result of my son Common touring the world
13
Pops has acquired a wonderful extended family
14
From around the globe
15
he has returned with positive messages to my earlobes
16
From all my children From Mexico, Brazil, Italy, Japan
17
And of course in the motherland
18
Even in the orient, they know what I meant
19
Nanaan, tanaan, tinaan, hanchinaan
20
So I didn't come in here to give any shouts out
21
I came to give praise and honor and to identify my children
22
Who've been saying and doing the right things
23
You know they sat on those nines of 1999
24
and kept them from turning upside down
25
And teaching the babies
26
to love, to be able to give love
27
And to enter the new century with their own prophecy
28
The century of amends
29
You see I deal with the premise that all children are ours
30
And that we all travel the same path
31
It's just that we don't get there at the same time
32
(See you next lifetime) See you next lifetime
33
And to my children running around here
34
talking about how nice is they ice
35
that they've already paid for twice
36
What karat is they gold
37
that was yours before you were done in the hole
38
Or that crew from 1629, buy some land
39
Think agriculture; beat that neighborhood
40
which you claim you love so dear
41
Are you mankind or what kind of a man?
42
See, Pops is straight out of the garden
43
from when the world was starting brand new,
44
Hip Hop, Hip Hop, the language of the underground railroad
45
In it's purest form
46
Yeah true hip hop is just like the Underground Railroad
47
If the message is not for you
48
It can sit on your nose and your brain remain froze
49
So when you see me traveling on a spiritual high
50
I'm flying high with Cee-Lo
51
Or maybe watching my long's heart dancing to a De La flow
52
Everybody knows there's no fruit on the tree with The Roots
53
And Black Star said we are what we are
54
The Knowledge Of Self Determination
55
And my little homie KG
56
Up there in Minnesota milking 10000 lakes
57
Keep the heat on em', we got to be kind to the growing mind
58
So if your heart is real
59
You will hear Big Will and Ms. Lauryn Hill
60
If your love is true, you will hear Badu-ism
61
And you can't go right until you go left
62
and get some ingredients from the music chef Jazzy Jeff
63
Children, I've traveled this globe
64
north to south, east to west
65
And whenever my soul appears lost
66
I turn to the musical stylings of a Tribe Called Quest
67
Okay, we ready to get out of here
68
We ready to take it home now
69
Just so everybody knows
70
When Pops get ready to say something good
71
I mean when it's time for me to lay it on the wood
72
And it ain't no time for no shecky shecky
73
That's when I turn to a Black Girl Named Betty
74
Y'all looking for the only truth and it doesn't even exist
75
I just come to give love and peace and honor to all my children
