Hip hop just died this mornin'
17
And she's dead, she's dead
18
[Verse 1:]
19
Yeah, people smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner
20
Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama
21
Quick fast trick a fingers on the llama
22
Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja
23
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
24
Grindin' hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
25
Grindin' hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind

27
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up
28
Any ghetto will tell you Nas helped grow us up
29
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
30
Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up
31
Gave my freind my right, I could have gave left
32
So like my girl Foxy, the kid went Def
33
So people, who's your top ten?
34
Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren?

[Verse 2:]
48
The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'
49
Come through something ill missin' the ceilin'
50
What influenced my raps? Stick up's and killing's
51
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings
52
Criticize that, why is that?
53
Cuz Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
54
Cuz we love to talk on ass we chickens
55
Most intellectuals will only half listen
56
So you can't blame jazz musicians
57
Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues
58
Oh I think they like me...in my white tee
59
You can't ice me, we here for life B
60
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first...
61
And for that we not takin' it lightly
62
If hip hop should die we die together
63
Bodies in the morgue lie together
64
All together now

And she's dead, she's dead
79
[crowd chanting "Hip hop!" becomes beat]
80
[Verse 3:]
81
Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
82
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
83
If it got where it started
84
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
85
Hip hopper since a toddler
86
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
87
If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka
88
R.I.P. we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
89
Went from turntables to mp3s
90
From "Beat Street" to commercials on Mickey D's
91
From gold cables to Jacobs
92
From plain facials to Botox and face lifts
93
I'm lookin' over my shoulder
94
It's about 80 peoples from my hood that showed up
95
And they came to show love
96
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut.
