Hip Hop Is Dead

"Hip Hop is Dead"(Ft.will.i.am)

Hip hop Hip hop (Ugh!)

Is dead (Had to flip this track again, y'all!)

Hip, hip hop Hip hop (Ugh!) Is dead

Hip, hip hop (Ugh!)

Hip, hip hop is dead (NYC! Dirty South!)

Hip, hip hop (West Coast!)

Hip hop (Midwest!)

Hip hop (Let's go!)

If hip hop should die before I wake

I'll put an extended clip and body 'em all day

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

If hip hop should die before I wake

I'll load an extended clip and body 'em all day

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

(Hip hop just died this morning

And she's dead, she's dead)

Yeah, people smoke, chill, party, and die in the same corner

Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama

Quick fast, trigger fingers on the llama

Revenge in their eyes, Hennessy and the ganja

Word to the wise with villain state of minds

Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind

Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind

(Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind)

Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up

Any ghetto will tell ya' "Nas helped grow us up"

My face once graced promotional Sony trucks

Hundred million and billin', I helped blow 'em up

Gave my man my right, I could have went left

So like my girl Foxy, the kid went deaf

So people, who's your top ten?

Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren?

If hip hop should die before I wake

I'll put an extended clip and body 'em all day

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

If hip hop should die before I wake

I'll load an extended clip and body 'em all day

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

(Hip hop just died this morning

And she's dead, she's dead)

The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'

Come through, something ill, missing' the ceilin'

What influenced my raps? Stick-ups and killings

Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings

Criticize that, why is that?

Cause Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap

Cause we love to talk on nasty chickens

Most intellectuals will only half listen

So you can't blame jazz musicians

Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues

Oh, I think they like me, in my white tee

You can't ice me, we here for life, B

On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey

And for that, we not taking it lightly

If hip hop should die, we die together

Bodies in the morgue lie together

All together now

If hip hop should die before I wake

I'll put an extended clip and body 'em all day

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

If hip hop should die before I wake

I'll load an extended clip and body 'em all day

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

Roll to every station, wreck the DJ

(Hip hop just died this morning

And she's dead, she's dead)

Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game

Reminiscing when it wasn't all business

It forgot where it started

So we all gather here for the dearly departed

Hip-hopper since a toddler

One homeboy became a man, then a mobster

If it dies, let me get my last swig of Vodka

R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta

Went from turntables to MP3's

From "Beat Street"to commercials on Mickey D's

From gold cables to Jacobs

From plain facials to Botox and face lifts

I'm looking' over my shoulder

It's about eighty people from my hood that showed up

And they came to show love

Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut
