Hip Hop Lives On
Let’s pause.
Give it up for my boy Nas.
The wizard of Oz
From a fetus sucking
His mama’s tatas,
To stealing cars
And breaking laws without cause.
Call me the mamba.
Smoking ganja with Rihanna
While I’m sitting on her.
A body that the lord did bless.
A tight ass that was the best.
Strutting her stuff with
Supple breasts on her chest.
I’m immobilized.
She’s like a mobile prize
And a picture to make soldiers’ lives.
I’m out for dead fucking presidents
To represent me.
You’re neighborhood mc,
Quite friendly
With a bite that’s deadly.
So don’t mess, B.
Feelin’ a little testy
With other rappers.
They just ass tappers.
Spitting shit to make their ass fatter
And getting me a little madder.
I’m always involved in some sucka shit.
Another clip at my hip.
Ready for another hit.
I guess it was in the cards
That I would make it as a boss.
Organizing words like my baby girl,
Meanings lost as a little swirl.
The biggest horror in my world.
Fuck Jay
Even though we made it okay
And I’m still writing for days.
People call me weak for
Signing with Rocque Records.
I’ll forgive you for your smack
Coz I made it rock better.
My style was even wetter
When I sold the bestsellas.
Now Jay’s the king of hip hop
And he’s done rocking fellas.
Rewind.
Let’s go back in time
To when I used to commit crimes
And featured on Biggie’s rhymes.
I was a young blood,
Looked up to Big and Pac.
Now I watch the young guys talk.
They just waiting to get shot.
I had the lead,
Running in the streets with greed.
Screaming fuck the police
As I committed the deed.
Before any of you start
Fussing and bitching,
I’m experimenting with
Nas’ lines in the kitchen.
He had some good ones,
Pretty iconic.
My addiction is kinda chronic,
Supersonic,
Ever since I had my first gin and tonic.
Easy to recall
Like a fuckin’ mnemonic.
I’m on it.
Boom a bomb blast
Killed everyone from my class.
Left me the only one to last.
Tryna forget the past, but
it’s kinda difficult.
My life is metaphysical.
No argument that
My style is empirical
And I’m lyrical.
Dawg I don’t need a fuckin’ miracle.
Kneel and kiss my ring.
Feel my sting.
Prepare for the end
Of this goddamn thing.
I’ve been patient
With this rap invasion,
But I’m feeling ancient.
No longer a sensation.
The world is doomed soon
As artists are using autotune.
I’m arriving soon,
Teaching the basics of hip hop.
I’m starving for some classic rock
With a little bee bop.
I’m trying to be a leader.
But since I was young,
I was nothing but an overachiever.
An optimistic believer,
A simple dreamer.
First time I opened my eyes,
I saw a lotta light.
Angels’ halos were a little tight.
I know I’m right
Coz I’m the messiah.
The savior.
Staying clean,
Controlling my behavior.
I ain’t asking for no favors.
Momma named me Nasir.
I was a little weird.
Chilled by myself
So kids thought I was queer.
I guess it’s just karma
That’s got my momma
Living lavishly
like Barack Obama.
I’m a magician
Created a partition
Between the old and new
Do to the hard tension.
Forgot to mention
My ascension.
I’m the nigga responsible
For your contention.
Funny how the tables have turned.
Your style was burned
I say fuck off to all
The artists who ever spurned
My style when
I’ve traveled miles with this smile.
Only in the world for a short while
So teenagers getting high
In their daddy’s new ride.
I’ve been in a bit of a hurry,
I’m in a fit of worry
About my career’s trajectory.
Hit a home run.
Made it to the next story
Coz I’m a Canadian named Rory.
I’m spinning these words
Like a fuckin’ weaver.
Hope you caught that
Like a wide receiver.
When you go on tour,
I’ll relieve ya
Coz in the bright lights,
No one’s gonna retrieve ya.
I’m talking some smack
Coz people expecting a choke act.
I don’t wanna lie to your rap faction
Coz they never been good at social interaction
Some shy motherfuckers
Need to face global detraction
If they ever want to make
it past the last one.
At the highest,
I consider Nas top 3,
So you can leave me be.
Don’t wanna mess with the G.
It’s Pac, Biggie, and Nas.
I’m all about the wars,
But I respect Nelson Mandela
For reaching for the stars.
You talk foul,
But my style’s versatile.
I can freestyle for miles
So I don’t need to fuckin’ smile.
