Hip Hop Hip Hop [x15]



[Black Thought]

Aiyyo, the anticipation arose as time froze

I just stared down the aisles with my eyes closed

and jumped straight into the crime code, I just did it

you trying to hear that heat right? Yup, well let's get it

My desire to groove was overcomin' my fears

I got a P;anet Rock record I stole from blairs

I feing to throw a DISCO in my room upstairs

put the needle to the record let it soothe my ears

it goes: "Party People this groove is so sonic

we feining to get you high as a kite with no chronic"

who can tell at the top, but it's better than brain

but I fell in love with the culture,  was never the same

Remember All Stars in Ti Sweats

and young rhymthm round the projects trying to chill

cause my name on my buckle and my style is Ill

cause I got you in my system and refine the skill

You like my life soundtrack, my personal theme

joint that knock for me ever since I burst on the scene

yo it's like gimme the music and I make it my wife



[Chorus]

hip hop, you the love of my Life (aiyo)

tell the people like that what (aiyo) [hip hop over chorus]

and it sounds so tight, hip hop you the love of my life

we fein' to take it to the top love

it's like that love, and it sounds so tight

hip hop you the love of my life

we fin to take it to the - 

take it to the - to the - to the - to the (hip hop)



[Black Thought]

Yo, when I was 9 years old, I realized there was a road

at the end thered be a lot of studios and shows

I had to pump my brakes and learn from my mistakes

took time to create so that y'all could relate

to be a pioneer it takes work for years

and sometimes I Seen things that'll jerk your tears

I been through hard times, many rocks to climb

trying to take it from the bottom to the top of the line

with fam and the same shorty from the two dollar jam

that used to rock Sergios in the B-girl stance

Polly rocking door knockers with her hair in the twist

with the ill Michael Jackson wrist band on her wrist

before we ever shook asses and the watched the cells

we used to sing  "LODI DODI" and "ROCK THE BELLS"

and you can mash up in the party til the early mourn'

without your BALI shoes getting stepped on

even though we from the city - the Crime and Grime

yo I grew up around the times of BEATS AND RHYMES

I remember late nights rockin without a mic

hip hop u the love of my life



[chorus x2]
