Lyrics

What's it all about, hip hop what does it mean
I'm addicted to the shit and I ain't never coming clean
To be all you could be but son you under pressure
Oh damn I'm so addicted to it man
It started off at an early age, twelve to be exact
Got addicted to the shit that made my neck snap back
It was a experimental I guess I knew no better
And after I tried I knew I need the shit forever
The days went by the months they rapidly switched
And then my brain started feeling the effects from all the hits
It was peer pressure everybody did it, not really
But I was feeling like I had to be in just another addict
It was time for a change had to move quick
The next step up in my life had to be proof thick
So then I did what I never thought I'd do
That's when I started selling hits to the people in my crew
I passed it all around and gave a sample here and there
I gave a bit, took a bit and got my people on the shit
What did I do, I'm looking back now I'm reminiscing
But the kids that didn't do it never knew what they were missing
Yo Klaas what would you do if you never had it in your mind?
I'd probably be another sucker doing nothing all the time
But I'm gonna go out and get mine
So let me get real high till the day that I die
What's it all about, hip hop what does it mean
I'm addicted to the shit and I ain't never coming clean
To be all you could be but son you under pressure
Oh damn I'm so addicted to it man
A couple years later nothings changed it's all the same
And I still be trying to get high up in this unfocused game
I gotta be all I can be or be more than that
Cause if I'm jogging down the path I'm sure I'll lose all I got
Last second for a chance, last second for a stance
So I gotta stand my ground or get used up like a pronoun
And Klaasified never planned it like that
So if I'm ever going down damn right I'm gonna fight back
Yeah, how could it ever happen to me?
I always felt that I was different cause I was rapping for free
But uh, the same line same verse same story
Don't know another face that's getting paid in my territory
Now on the other hand, I know the money that be thrown away
Buying all the records and the tapes that we don't even play
Running out of money yo I'm looking at eviction
I gotta find a cure for this addiction
What's it all about, hip hop what does it mean
I'm addicted to the shit and I ain't never coming clean
To be all you could be but son you under pressure
Oh damn I'm so addicted to it man
And in the present I don't know what to do anymore
Should I go see the double A or try to get help
Every day with the beats and the rhymes I'm a fanatic
Yo I know I got a problem I can't help it I'm an addict
The first step to ever kick it is admit it
Ain't ever doing that then you're hopeless so forget it
What can you do? Well I don't know but here's a couple facts
You can try some cold turkey, chewing gum, or use a patch
And as for me, well now I deal my own
I got sick of buying weak shit, decided I would freak shit
Decided just to be another contender
Another offender but never be a pretender
Surrendering never even went across my mind
To find staying above hip hop the game I love
I'mma keep making beats find the breaks are getting tired
Everybody wants to hear so Klaas be the supplier
What's it all about, hip hop what does it mean
I'm addicted to the shit and I ain't never coming clean
To be all you could be but son you under pressure
Oh damn I'm so addicted to it man
