It's Alive!

Hip-hop is not dead Alive, haha, it's alive! It's alive! Here we go now, quit recking my stereo-sound Spitting rhymes like a merry-go-round Talking 'bout your heavy fo' pound Your barretta, your cheddar, your megalo style Fella, quit messing around Measure yo, message yo, merit yo' crown Many clowns making money, many men wanna rap Every dummy wanna spit it, but how many profound? Mc's are an army of clones Talking 'bout their Baccardi n' hoes With garbagy flows, party n' clothes Is a beat really that hard to compose? Hip-hop comes from the heart n' the bones You can feel it when I'm rockin' my shows I'm a lyricist, I'ma spit about every bit of it I'm living it, a real MC already knows! I keep rockin' 'til I need oxygen Peace to all the beatboxers n' The DJs, the street breakers, the beat makers And those that keep watching 'em Graph writers that paint the city They spray the walls, they make 'em gritty Displaying stories that talk to me In a way that's witty Individual vultures are killing the culture With no heart in the music You should move if you don't wanna unify hip-hop N' be a part of the movement, stupid! Yeah, you heard what I said Fuck the rumours this lot spread I'ma tell every motherfucker listenin' (Hip-hop is not dead!) Stop the fuss, dog, what's the problem? Trust me y'all, the culture ain't dead, it's just evolvin' (Hip-Hop is not dead!) Like Latin, a language dies when it does not move So let it live, let it mix, let it choose (Hip-Hop is not dead!) Suckers debate over who's so dope n' who's so not Hip-hop police suck my you know what! (Hip-Hop is not dead!) Don't be Nostalgic about something that you can keep breathing That's a good enough reason (It's alive!) (Hip-Hop is not dead!)
