O YEA…O YEA...O…O…O
I said a hip, hop //
Da hippy 2 da hippy da hip hip hop and da D don’t stop //
Rockin wit da bang bang boogie 2 da boogie 2 da boogie //
Say up jumps da boogie / 2 da bang bang boogie //
It all jumped off wit a boogie down Bronxsta //
Koolest kid on da block / put it down on da //
1’s and 2’s / and up jumps da beat of a //
Baby-bubba, who grew 2 be a real Boogie Monster // [in da fresh]
They fear us / and some of us fear what we’ve become //
Scared 2 stare into da mirrors //
Now, what u hear is / not a horror story, just listen 2 da lyrics //
Cuz we paint pictures clear as //
What u see in movie theatres //
We don’t sugar-coat it, no silver lining / what u hear is //
What u see is what u get / whether itz da bang bang //
Or da boogie spirits / either or, itz a cry 4 help, can u hear us //

CHORUS

Neva will there be anotha Jordan or Ali //
Nor anotha Pac or Biggie //
Never will there be anotha Martin Luther King // Jr.
Stop waiting 4 Malcom X / u could change da outcome next //
Niggaz aint built how they used 2 be //
Descendants of house niggaz what they choose 2 be //
Shuckin and Jivin just 2 make it 2 TV //
A bad rap sets us back a good 2-3 //
[Decades] / maybe thatz Y police brutality is prevalent //
On second thought, it never went anywhere, thatz evident //
Black Man president / White House resident //
Time 2 set precedent / we need a New Testament //
Letz see da US repent //
When u build on sin, it’ll rise thru da ceilin’ //
MC Racism / in da building //
Wit DJ Corruption / if da roof is on fire, u know who’s killing //

CHORUS

Itz a way of life / HE don’t make mistakes right //
But itz sad that thru beef we had 2 giveaway twice / sacrifice //
So that we may eat healthily every day and night //
She even creeps into my fantasy when dreaming //
I breathe in, hip hop deep in my soul where evil can neva reach so //
Like fat people, I represent it heavily //
Didley / Didley // Didley, Didley / Didley, Didley // Didley, Didley // D
2 da rock / from da rock / 2 da city /
2 da Motown era / 2 da current state of hip hop then //
All da way back 2 dem African drums //
And da hums when my ancestors picked cotton //
So we could have a white tee?!? / shout out 2 every freedom fighter //
Who fought 4 freedom ‘steada’ tryna fight me // [HIP-HOP]
His Impoverished People / His Oppressed People //
Aint nuttin changed but da chains / we still aint quite free //

CHORUS
