Lyrics
Excuse me if I don't rhyme with you
Trying to bring back classics like '92
On the road to perdition you may find my name
Struggling for recognition that I already gained
Deja vu up in this sprawling metropolis
You're too monotonous, constantly watching us
Instantly blocking us, hip-hopopotamus
There's just no stopping us, no way, no how
Call me Chief hot syllable, I burn the written track
Previous owners kind of hoping I give 'em back
I'm locked tight like a tree-hugging koala
I'm all up in the mix, so why bother?
I Range Rove over the same bloke with lame quotes
Might as well pay Jigga your publishing
And I ain't got time for name rubbishing
I uplift, innovate, just stay bubbling
Rock mics, I do it again
I got light, but don't follow no trends
Hot spice, burning the lens
Somebody said hip-hop is coming again
Rock mics, I do it again
Spotlights, been through it, my friend
Hot spice, burning the lens
Somebody said hip-hop is coming again
Within this modern day apartheid I struggle to play sharp
Shine and shimmer like an alien spacecraft
Reach for the dark side, hustle my face off
In flight like Jaws, ready to take off
Shake off my shackles, I'm too skinny to break off
Life's nice, better leave that fable to Aesop
Since birth running, I'm not able to say stop
This music that I love is now merely a stage prop
Another swift-banging cliffhanger for you
To some it's the truth, to some it's just paranoia
Raised to be an employee but not an employer
Wide world, I think I got something for you
Shapeshift to mix up your world order
Abandon ship and skip on cold water
Survive hills on wheatgrass and soya
If Nas has got a gun, better get me a lawyer
Rock mics, I do it again
I got light, but don't follow no trends
Hot spice, burning the lens
Somebody said hip-hop is coming again
Rock mics, I do it again
Spotlights, been through it, my friend
Hot spice, burning the lens
Somebody said hip-hop is coming again
Coming again, coming again
Coming again, coming again
Coming again, coming again
Coming again, coming again
Coming again, coming again
Coming again, coming again
