Hip-Hop

\INTRO/
Uh, yeah

VERSE ONE:

This that real essence, that church
Feel the blessings from this curse
Steel weapons couldn't pass my word
Pen & pad givin' them that work
Smashing the verse, leave ya raps in a Hertz
Fully loaded like Lindsey Lohan
Fuck the bread, son the passion first
Toast to that, sippin' yac till' my kidney broken (SIR)
New York cats be like
"Damn he really flowing"
Out my dreams like Billy Ocean
Out to see the city's dopest
I can see the big commotion
Got numbers with no promotion
I'm under the scope and never foldin'
Rap assassin, call me Zoldyck / Spit fire
Got computers overloadin' w. viruses like Trojan
Fly over these vultures, appropriating the culture
Hold hate for the roaches, you know I'm
Takin' the throne, N'
King Arthur blade and stone, They said
"Rap is dead"
But I'm changing the pulse, fuck bringing it back
Man I'm paving it forward

HOOK x2

Hip-hop is never dead
As long as I'm alive
Do this here forever
Cause this heart of mine
Never stoppin' the art of rhyme

VERSE TWO:

Comin' live like this very second
Queens where my story set in
Every legend lovin' my records
Cause I said it how i lived it
In touch like the message
From the jungle raps kept em' from going under
Though I wonder sometimes, If I was selling Ye'
Would I be here today doin' numbers like Yellow Pages
Or locked in a cell-waiting for Satan
To chase me like tail-gaiting
Whether I go to heaven or hell got no withheld praises
Thankful for this life, celebrated in these real pages
Cause I get to write em', ink em' then cell-shade em
Fuck gettin' famous, this is a different generation (MAN)
I ain't aiming for that
Just saying facts so you can play it back
When I lay it on wax, forever lacing these tracks
Like trains, man I'm back and I'm better
Attacking ya head till its a Red Skull, I'm Captain America

HOOK/BRIDGE

Hip-Hop is never dead
(as long as I'm alive)
Hip-Hop is never dead
(cause this heart of mine)
Hip-Hop is never dead
(Never stoppin' the art of rhyme)
NEVER STOPPING THE ART OF RHYME
