We Run Things (It's Like Dat)

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop

Back in the days before I signed a line

When the babyface never got paid to rhyme

When Kane released Raw and everything was fine

Before the rap industry messed with my mind

I used to run to the jam snot nosed and all

Never tried to be hard never tried to play the wall

MCs grab the mike tap the head and begin

Flowed for four minutes then passed to the end

But nowadays 'cause rap pays

You got a million rappers and a thousand DJs

All wanna talk about how much they flip

Runnin off at the mouth so much ya tongue was kicks

But thats aight I represent the real Hip-Hop

Because rappers just rap but MCs get props

And we run styles no styles no run we

Bush Babees run things represent who ya be

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop

It's a every style nah gon live like people do

Now make a new style from run you

How does the Ambush crew a-pass through

I make we tell them what fi do me say mercy worse he bitter like circy

No have to bust a shot to make a next man hear me

Rush me comin' from the music industry

Everybody wan fe be a bad man them crazy

Easy an MC

A why do dem a why do dem

Them would-a use we nah just fe reach the top rung

But in the know we know we never sell out fe dem

They ask dem the question and It's like them hear den

If reggae music and Hip-Hop upon friend

A message we uh send to tell the all uh dem

United with or divided

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop

It's been a while since you heard somebody rhyme like this

The fortified mental grimy that you can't dismiss

At the top of the list because the masses insist

It's a must that I create to elevate from the abyss

The mind must be nourished so the truth can flourish

As the rubbish is discourage by the explosional floodage

Of my verb as I infiltrate your state the least when the energy's released

You can tell It's coming from the East

So cease with your ranting and your raving

And all the misbehaving that you claim with your name

In order to maintain that status on the mike apparatus

Everybody wants to try to sound the phattest or the baddest

Thats not the case when your standing face to face in the place to be

With the face to see from inner space so

Face the facts and tell truth to the nation

Mr. Man and thats my representatio

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop but not the rap y'all

It's like this y'all It's like that y'all

We represent the Hip-Hop
