lyrics

Hip-/ hop is a feeling of emanating warmth-/
-the veins that course, pumping life into my otherwise decaying corpse-/
Hip hop is pain reversed and hate rethought-/
-hip hop is crashing burning rising from the ashes and remaining strong-/
-hip hop is gracious in the face of flaws-/
-a path for lost, angels to escape the fate befalling satan's war-/
-from Hades horseman and their flaming swords-/
-hip hop is never bowing down before a foreign occupation force-/
-And knowledge is a right for all-/
Hip, hop is true illumination to the disinformation of Michael Moore-/
-Hip hop is soul rejuvenation through the tables raw-/
-Music taking form just bang the tape and sonic waves are born-/
-hip hop is truth when I create a song-/
-Thats why I talk about a future darker than a West Australian swan-/
-Superpowers aggressively pursuing Lebensraum but/
Hip, hop, ain't a corporation it's the people's song-//

HOOK
--this is real life shit-/
--they got the streets on lock-/
--they traumatize our kids-/
--then blame it on, hip hop-/
-they didn't wanna let, hip hop in-/
-Now they ain't making this move-ment, stop-/
--So i'ma talk about what hip hop is?-/
--while you be talking bout what hip hop's not-//

Hip-/Hop, is in a drum machine-/
-Hip hop is in the drummers beat, that you chopped, and created something sweet-/
-Hip, hop is in the blood of kings-/
Hip, hop is in that chunky ring, but hip hop don't need a fucking thing-/
-Hip, hop is in the Gaza streets-/
Hip, hop is in the galley of a Barracuda class, submarine-/
-Hip, hop is in a young marine's-/
Playlist, bumping Grave-diggaz right before he let's the muzzle sing-/
-They say that hip, hop encouraged him,we say-/
-Hip, hop, doesn't predate the sins, of his government-/
-Did hip hop, make 'em hustlers-/
-Maybe it did, but tell me who, gave the smugglers the planes and the ships?-/
-Did hip, hop, make him skate on his kid-/
-Beat on his girl coz Ice Cube, called a lady a bitch-/
-You blame the music wrong, learned from his dad-/
-He was stationed in Bagh-dad in '03, raping women in his uniform-//
