(feat. Children of the World)



[repeats during intro:] "Rap music, don't want the rap music"



[Intro: Remedy]

Hey all you hip-hoppers, beboppers, body-rockers

Yea.. this is the Remedy right here

The solution to your mothafuckin' ear

And this is the shit that I grew up on

A little hip-hop, wit a touch of rock and roll

Feel your soul, lose control, haha



[Remedy]

Way back in the days, nineteen-seventy-nine

Back back when, I wrote my first rhyme

The same year, came the Sugarhill Gang

But little did they know about the Shaolin slang

R&B, disco, pop, country, jazz

Don't think hip-hop was ever just a fad

Soundscan and Billboard, look at the sale

While other music failed, hip-hop prevailed

Rap music was goin' platinum from the start

Me, Remedy, come straight from the heart

Seventy-nine, Kiss Army, eighty-three, Run-DMC

Eighty-six, KRS and Beasties

Rakim, G. Rap, the Biz and Daddy Kane

Nineteen-ninety-three, end up with Wu-Tang

Hip-Hop Music is never gonna die

Remedy, Wu-Tang, hip-hop survives



[Chorus x2: Children of the World w/ sample]

"Rap music, don't want the rap music" [repeats all throughout chorus]

Hip-Hop Music, Hip-Hop Music, Hip-Hop Music

Hip-Hop Music will never die



[Remedy]

Twenty long years, many went and came

But let me tell you now how the industry's changed

Everybody wanna rock ice, everybody swear that they nice (Yup, yup)

Everybody wanna be somebody, nobody's nothin'

Everybody wants somethin', keep on frontin' (WHAT? WHAT? WHOA!)

Yo, there's no more love for the music, everyone abuse it

Politics and cash now rules it

Your A&R's are wannabe rock and rap stars

Lost in enforcin' the spot that they are

All of y'all artists that have waited for the fame

A word of advice, yo this is not a game

Some cash in, now some cash out

And most don't know what they talkin' about

Ninety-nine I must have been I'm crazy

Thinkin' that I'd walk into his office on some old Slim Shady

Love and respect broke fast with the record

Not commercial enough for Russel Simmons

Now Hip-Hop Music is never gonna die

Remedy, Wu-Tang, hip-hop survives



[Chorus x2]



[Outro: Remedy (Children of the World)]

"Rap music, don't want the rap music" [repeats to fade]

Listen.. never die

Pop music, never die

(Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, Remedy will never fight)

Yes he will

(Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, we will survive)

Hip-hop.. never die.. never die.. never die

Never die.. never die.. survive
