(Intro) Once upon a time hiphop died, but we were there to resurrect it, Don't you agree? We resurrected, Hiphop Verse 1 You love to hear the story again and again Of how we all started way back then When it was beat box, beat boys and gold chains Djs, and a pile of graffiti on city trains Before the record deals Before the downloads Before the money-cash-hoes Before the art was the scene of glitter of the glitter Now everybody kinda missing the big picture Focused on the Emmy's instead of giving cred If this was 1996 you will be dead Rappers think, they're synonymous to characters in movies Fixated on fiction no wonder they never moved me I understand why Nas'ted an album about it I'll god damned how the hell did we allow this Now we back hiphop resuscitated We were almost too late thank Jah that we made it Hook When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it Verse 2 Once upon a rhyme I pondered about my grind It was 1999 all I wanted to do was sign, a deal 'Cause when I read The Source All I saw was the floss Being the boss is what seemed real I was only 16 at the moment MCees were slaved, mentally chained and I didn't know it All I saw was the lifestyle Live It Up Go Wild Now I'm a grown man I know now This goes out to the Viacom terror We are the new breed revolutionary era We taking back what started in 73 Shout out to the audience who feeling me speak I do it for the kids and those who come after I'm teaching the skills of a craft that I mastered Hiphop is like welling; timeless and priceless And it's preserved with the strength of my mic Hook When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it When hiphop died we were there to resurrect it
