I know my streets, I know my sounds
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
***** it's, hip hop

Yeah, yeah, we started from nothin' a couple MC's
Beat boxin', the crowd in the lunch room
Me and Prem', both names go together
Like they ain't supposed to be separate, like 'D' in the D

I said it before, I rep in records beats
At the headquarters, rest in peace
***** I'ma hold shotty and knock you out
And I ain't gotta know Karate like Afu-ra

It's, hip hop, strong or not
This is rap basketball, stats all you got
Long as you hot and your flow could hold up
To knowin' all of your short goals is long shots

Ninety percent of you *****z ain't hard
Here, Just to Get a Rep, you not, Gangstarrs
The finest flow will amaze, rap without me
Is to Source, minus the Quotable page

Hip hop is everything around you
No compe***ion
Back to the voice of today
It's real in the field
What's realer than hip hop

I know my streets, I know my sounds
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
***** it's hip hop

Rhythmic, league c'mon wit it, I'm long winded
I will diss you, from long distances
You will not get the chance, like Choppa

Ness and Dylan, to dis-respect, who you don't listen to
Egg in the skillet brain, *****, diss is you
Smarten up, every person in the earth, be harden up
But the only target is us

It's hip hop cars and trucks
I be dreamin' about ****
Like havin' a hard time swingin'
On a *****, or squeezin' a trigger or fallin'

If I land, I won't wake up
My six shot model, ya crew
I'm leavin' ya mommy faces blue
Just like a Hypnotic bottle

They feel you the realer, you spit
This killer **** is hearin' us
Healin' you if you ill or you sick mentally

It's hip hop, is everything around you
Gotta be something for me to write this
Back to the voice of today
No talent rappers
What's realer than hip hop

I know my streets, I know my sounds
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
***** it's hip hop

More venom, 5'9 is like a G5
Illest lyrics is stored in him
Chorus is killin', any warrior feelin'
That I ain't God, Lord willin'

Trust me, after I crush ya buildin'
You will just hush, you won't restore the village
We look toward wit killin', real
Though this album is morbidly feelin' to steel

Hip hop, ***k your feelin's
More rappers dying, much more killin'
It's no feelin', realer than gamblin' ya life
Everyday and wakin' up to more dealin's

Fourteen killin's, compared to offshore millions
Equals, I got a lot more villains
You know that you easily lose, you be on MTV News
For the first time, because you died over

Hip hop is everything around you
Come alive y'all
Back to the voice of today
It's all in the game
What's realer than hip hop

I know my streets, I know my sounds
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
***** it's hip hop
