THE REBIRTH OF HIP HOP

[STORM]

HIP HOP?

WAS NAS CORRECT WHEN HE SAID HIP HOP WAS DEAD?
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THEY KNEW THAT HIP HOP WAS SOUGHT OUT AND KILLED BY THE FEDS

WHY?
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE TRUTH TO COME OUT
OUR PEOPLE WAS JUST STARTING TO UNDERSTAND THE ROUGH OF OUR LIFE

SO INSTEAD THEY DECIDED TO HIT HIM OVER THE HEAD WITH A PIPE
YEA, HIP HOP DIED

BUT RESURRECTED ON NOVEMBER THE 23RD
THIS IS NEW INFORMATION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVENT HEARD

TOMMY RICH,

WHEN HIP HOP FELL DOWN TO THE GROUND
HE HANDED HIM HIS CROWN

SO ALL YOU BUSTAS WHO'S WORKING FOR THE FEDS
MAKING THAT IGNORNAT ASS MUSIC FOR OUR CHILDREN TO BE LEAD

HE'S COMING TO SHUT YOU DOWN
HE'S COMING THOUGH YOUR TOWN

THEIR JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT EASY FOR THEIR PEOPLE TO TAKE OVER OUR MUSIC GAME
JUST HOW THEY DID DISCO AND ROCK AND ROLL
THEIR TAKING YOU ON THAT WALK OF SHAME

TRYING TO PUT GLORY IN THEIR HAND AND TAKING ALL THE FAME
BUT ITS NOT EVEN ABOUT THE FAME
IT'S ABOUT OUR ART AND THEM CLAIMING IT AS THERE OWN

THEM WIPING OUT OUR HISTORY WHICH IS SOMETHING HIP HOP DOESN'T CONDONE

HIP HOP...

SO GET YOUR PEN AND PAPER OUT AND PUT SOME KNOWLEDGE IN OUR CHILDREN'S MIND
IF YOU DONT THEN IN YEARS TO COME WE WILL ALL BE DOING TIME

I AM JUST A MESSENGER
AND I AM DELIVERING YOU YOUR MESSAGE

SO DO US ALL A FAVOR

KEEP HIP HOP ALIVE

AND LET US NOT LOSE OUR STRIVE

WITH HIP HOP...
