What if Hip
Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No
Flash, No
Band, No Change, yo
No DJ's, No grab,
No breakers,
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no
DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no
B-Girls, No
Grafitti,
No nothing
If Hip Hop was never born? let me make this clearjust the thought of it definitely brings me tears
It's not about a salery it's all about reality,
And Hip Hop is the reality that creates all these saleries.
HIP HOP, H
IP HOP, HI
P HOPIt's in the academies,hauled from the streets of the hood every family
But what if
Hip Hop didn't exist?
There wouldn't be this, there wouldn't be
Chris,Or a
Public Enemy with a black power fist.
No Queen Latifa, no
Will Smith either,
There would only be tight jeans, tight suits and black sneakers.
No Tango hats either, no bandana headdress, no
TV's in the headrest
Who would be a big mess, trust medrew it, without rap
I'd be saying this here in country music.
We be no stars, imagine
B-Boying over acoustic guitars,
Not the sixteen bars.
FEEL ME!The art of sampling as well as cutting and scratching.
It's all ours.
But really think about it.
FEEL ME!What if
Hip Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No
Flash, No
Band, No Change, yo
No DJ's, No grab,
No breakers,
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no
DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no
B-Girls, No
Grafitti,
No nothing
What if Hip
Hop was never born? let me make this clearjust the thought if it definitely brings me tears
So what if
Hip Hop was never born?
Never known?
Never forever wrong,
Never criticing our songs?
What if Hip
Hop was never here?
Never that flavour in your ear,
Never that thing that make you want to say
OH YEAH!No street millionaires, no billionaires.
No Russell,
No Diddy,
No Wayne,
No Chamillionaire
Let me get this clear, today you have a real choice,
Because of
Hip Hops existance you have a real voice.
But what if
Hip Hop never came around to the boogie down,
Never touched
Herc and it touched another sound.
You wouldn't know about
James Brown,
Pull in the
Funkdelic, the radio and still have a play in the sound. (?)
It's like wearing the same gown as a model,stepping off the runway and go eat out at
McDonalds.
We was the models, and society was
McDonaldsComnplete with a presidential clown,
McRonald.But really...
What if Hip
Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No
Flash, No
Band, No Change, yo
No DJ's, No grab,
No breakers,
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no
DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no
B-Girls, No
Grafitti,
No nothing
What if Hip
Hop was never born?
Let me make this clear,just the thought of it definitely brings me tears
Now that would be something
No scratching, no cutting
Now Listen,
No cars driving by with the boomin' systems,
No prison coz non of us would be in 'em,
No one would be advertisng that rap to our children.
Sure there be murder, and thugs and drugs
But they be on the low, and hardly heard of,except if you watch the news.
See,If there was no
Hip Hop in society,then there would be fewer alternative views.
See we not about to lose.
Real Hip Hop, is like real estate,
It's never going to move.
I'd be singing the
Blues literally,
If I didn't acknowledge and cultivate the
Hip Hop living in
ME!So what's
It going to be
I ask!Hip
Hop wasn't even supposed to last
So I gotta laugh when
I look at
Flash!Yeah
Grandmaster
Flash is on the tracks,
But where would we be without the cut and the scratch?
SO I ask!What if
Hip Hop was never born, yo?
No Herc, No
Flash, No
Band, No Change, yo
No DJ's, No grab,
No breakers,
No MCWhat would the state of dope world truly be?
No throw your hands, no screaming, no noise no
DJ's cutting
No B-Boys, no
B-Girls, No
Grafitti,
No nothing
What if Hip
Hop was never born? let me make this clearjust the thought of it definitely brings me tears
