Hiphop = Life
out of the shadows here comes another one,
never touched by the sun still i let it run,
riding high hats and boom baps
I didn't used to that do that,
now i shoot back,
they like "who dat?!"
i move past as a cool cat,
using rap as a tool to move facts,
you fools may be new to that,
Two truths I never knew bout that,
off the stoop i moved these shoes to the track,
it do what it do and keeps me coming back,
not used to losing so i am moving past,
with the truest craft,
this music is my soul but you already knew bout that!
hiphop is how you live,
so whatcha going give,
can ya keep it lit?
are you going in?
yeah,
this is how you spit,
Americans shit,
blaring it tearing it
never going to quit,
this is hiphop
this is how i live
i focus on this dope shit
you know i got to give
i focus on this dope shit
you know i got to give
hiphop is how i live!

Dope dope dope! And in the words of the best "hip hop is dead" till you go underground and meet the true holders of the crown.....refreshing to hear some intellectual spit. Had a talib kweli vibe mixed with some eyedeas and abilities. Loved this!
i can tell you are a true hiphop head and i very much appreciate your feedback! i need to refine it more but i felt compelled to get it out there. your comparisons are very flattering.. eyedea in particular.. that dude had bars for days!

Sometimes the rawness is what brings it to light so don't refine to much if you want complete honesty. :-). And yes you nailed me...true hip hop head indeed!!! If it ain't poetic it ain't hip hop etiquette! And you are so welcome. Yea man not to many people know about eyedeas and abilities....and it's a damn shame because he kills the lyricist game. I had the pleasure of seeing him live back in the day.
