Hip hop hip hop ugh is dead
Had to flip this track again y'all
Hip hop ugh is dead
Hip hip hop
Hip hip hop is dead
NYC dirty South
Hip hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
If hip hop should die before I west coast
If hip hop should die before I west coast
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll put an extended clip and body 'em all day
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll load an extended clip and body 'em all day
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
DJ DJ
Hip hop just died this morning
And she's dead she's dead
Yeah n***as smoke chill
Party and die in the same corner
Get cash live fast body their man's mama
Quick fast trigger fingers on the llama
Revenge in their eyes Hennessy and the ganja
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
Grindin' hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
Grindin' hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
Grindin' hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
Whenever if ever I roll up it's sown up
Any ghetto will tell ya
Nas helped grow us up
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
Hundred million and billin' I helped blow 'em up
Gave my man my right I could have went left
So like my girl foxy the kid went deaf
So people who's your top 10
Is it MC Shan is it MC Ren
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll put an extended clip and body 'em all day
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll load an extended clip and body 'em all day
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
DJ DJ
Hip hop just died this morning
And she's dead she's dead
The bigger the cap the bigger the peelin'
Come through something I'll missing the ceilin'
What influenced my raps
Stick-ups and killings
Kidnappings project buildings drug dealings
Criticize that why's that
'Cause Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
'Cause we love to talk on nasty chickens
Most intellectuals will only half listen
So you can't blame jazz musicians
Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues
Oh I think they like me in my white tee
You can't ice me we here for life B
On my second marriage hip hop's my first wifey
And for that we not taking it lightly
If hip hop should die we die together
Bodies in the morgue lie together all together now
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll put an extended clip and body 'em all day
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
If hip hop should die before I wake
I'll load an extended clip and body 'em all day
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
Roll to every station wreck the DJ
DJ DJ
Hip hop just died this morning
Hip hop just died this morning
Hip hop just died this morning
She's dead she's dead
Hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
Hip hop
Everybody sound the same commercialize the game
Reminiscing when it wasn't all business
It forgot where it started
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
Hip-hopper since a toddler
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
If it dies let me get my last swig of vodka
RIP we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
Went from turntables to MP3's
From beat streetto commercials on Mickey D's
From gold cables to Jacobs
From plain facials to botox and face lifts
I'm looking over my shoulder
It's about 80 people from my hood that showed up
And they came to show love
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut
