Generate meaning
1
Yeah, **** want to talk about this rap ****
2
**** want to talk about this money
3
About these cars, these homes
4
These labels, clothes, sneakers, big money shit
5
Now everybody tryin' to get rich
6
Now get rich
7
Some rap pioneers, be them crackheads
8
When they speak, you see missin' teeth, silver chain with a silver piece
9
**** your grandfather's age, they pants still hangin' down they legs
10
Talkin' about they ain't paid
11
And they hate you, 'cause they say, you ain't pay dues
12
And was stealin' and robbin' them
13
I feel it's a problem we gotta resolve
14
Hip-Hop been dead, we the reason it died
15
Wasn't Sylvia's fault or because MC's skills are lost
16
It's 'cause we can't see ourselves as the boss
17
Deep-rooted through slavery, self-hatred
18
The Jewish stick together, friends in high places
19
We on some low level ****
20
We don't want **** to ever win, see, everybody got a label
21
Everybody's a rapper but few flow fatal
22
It's **** up, it all started from two turntables
23
When they crown you and you rise up to your position
24
Carry on tradition
25
When they knight you then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition
26
Carry on tradition, carry on tradition
27
Carry on, ca-carry on, carry on tradition
28
Carry on tradition
29
When you rep what we rep then carry on tradition
30
Now some of these new rappers got their caps flipped backwards
31
Wit their fingers intertwined in some gang-sign madness
32
I got an exam, let's see if y'all pass it
33
Let's see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest
34
Some of you new rappers, I don't understand your code
35
You have your man shoot you, like in that Sopranos episode
36
Do anythin' to get in the game, mixtapes, you spit hate
37
Against bosses, hungry **** are moraless
38
You should be tossed in a pit full of unfortunate vocalists
39
****, I coulda wrote your ****
40
I had off-time, was bored wit this, I coulda made my double-LP
41
Just by samplin' different parts of Nautilus
42
Still came five on the charts with zero audience
43
The lane was open and y'all was droppin' that garbage ****
44
Y'all got awards for your bricks, it got good to ya
45
You started tellin' them bigger dogs to call it quits? What?
46
When they crown you and you rise up to your position
47
Carry on tradition
48
When they knight you then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition
49
Carry on tradition, carry on tradition
50
Carry on, ca-carry on, carry on tradition
51
Carry on tradition
52
When you rep what we rep then carry on tradition
53
Now **** got the studio poppin', it's mad clearer
54
Engineers got his earplugs and still hear us
55
The live-in-the-park sound, versus the studio state of art sound
56
We on the charts now
57
From British Walkers and Argyles
58
Look at us rap stars now, wit our black cars now
59
Fortune 500 listed, brunches, sip Cipriani's
60
Sippin', blunted, with rich white guys around me
61
Thick white girls around me, Chinese lined up
62
Because I'm what, every dime lust
63
We used to be a ghetto secret, can't make my mind up
64
If I want that or the whole world to peep it
65
Now carry on tradition
66
**** a bum wack rapper makin' his career out of dissin'
67
Peace to the strugglin' artists and dead one's gone, we miss 'em
68
I promise I carry on tradition
69
When they crown you and you rise up to your position
70
Carry on tradition
71
When they knight you then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition
72
Carry on tradition, carry on tradition
73
Carry on, ca-carry on, carry on tradition
74
Carry on tradition
75
When you rep what we rep then carry on tradition
