[Intro: Purple Rain scene]

"I don't understand it. Plus he's not pulling them in like he used to."
"He just plays a lot of shit that nobody wants to hear."
[Verse: Boonie Mayfield]
Why some niggas want me to sound the same
As what already came before
So copy Primo and other legends that we know
Who came and changed the game
As if there could never be no new editions for people
Niggas just want a sequel

With those who came before us
‘Cause the game needs more us
Innovators who bring something new to the table for us
So you try something different
And niggas hate it the instant
You ain’t sounding like another mother fucker’s thesaurus
Otherwise you’re a sell-out
Boom Bap or get the hell out
No wonder some of us fell out
Fuck it, I’ll still yell out
My love for hip-hop
For hip-hop
For hip-hop
