[Verse 1: Masta Ace]
Pick an avenue, running around with the savage crew
Preach it to yourself, ain't nobody as bad as you
But the truth is, you don't know what the booth is
I feel for you Shaka Khan, you don't know where the roof is
You don't think of the heights, you're reaching the astronomic
All the way up through a loop-de-loops til you have to vomit
Passion comment, your Twitter rant is a bitter chant
Doing things in our lives theses average spitters can't
You're hard pressed to get a stamp of approval
I shall proceed if I get a chance to remove you
Sayonara, I got a flow you can try and borrow
You can't perfect it, you get rejected and die in horror
You can cry tomorrow but today is ours
We try to rise, we colonize like a invading powers
You can say the towers, will never be twins again
I run this town, the B-side never wins again
[Chorus]
Some say the 90's shit is better than the new shit
I just love good music
Do it for the culture, do it for the culture
Classic Hip Hop, it will always be my favorite
Boom Bap, go and tell the DJ play it
Do it for the culture, do it for the culture
[Verse 2: Ras Kass]
I am unforgettable, uncut lyrical, unfuckwithable
Line for line, unparalleled
When I pull, bombs spit at you
So will they top-50-list or critique you? It's pitiful
Niggas ridicule greatness when you're alive
And worship your images when you're die
Hypocritical, as a roman wearing a cross
I do it for my tribe even if I took a loss
Real Hip Hop heads worldwide
I'm concurrently serving 'til Galactus arrive
The rap will survive
I like vodka in vaginas 'cause that is a vibe
The culture created by your environment, homegrown
The vultures circle above to feast on dying bones
Do you exploit our style, steal our sound
And say the N-word when you think niggas ain't around?
R&B soul singers got replaced with boy bands
Black female singers got Aguilara'd and Spear'd
I watched Super Bowl and Post Malone is selling beers
But his black counterparts [?] hits for more years
[Chorus]
Some say the 90s shit is better than the new shit
I just love good music
Do it for the culture, do it for the culture
Classic Hip Hop, it will always be my favorite
Boom Bap, go and tell the DJ play it
Do it for the culture, do it for the culture
