Hip Hop

[offset:0]

Refugee public,

Akon, and on and on

All hands on deck

Can I go in for a minute?

Cause there's no limit to

the Cash Money Hip Hop game

Things done changed

but they stay the same

I see molly is the new

cocaine

I see them rappers

with them big gold chains

Remind me of the Slick Rick rings

And Rakim was the

microphone fiend

And Bobby Brown was the RnB king

Yeah, now every rapper wanna bang

What happen to the days

we were all in the same gang?

Missy and Timbaland, original dubstep

And Bambaataa had our

future on tape deck

Man, my daughter is seven

I had to put her in check

And let her know that K.R.S.

Is more than letters in the alphabets

She's Will.I.Am'ing with her mommy

She's like: "Dad, let me

teach you how to dougie"

Things done changed

but they stay the same

I'm bumping Nas in the

Range down memory lane

Talib, Mos Def,

PE bought them lectures

My first music video Rakim,

I was the extra

Run DMC ran rap,

now run's a preacher

And we all are poor

righteous teachers

Krush grooving, body moving

Rhazel, Doug E. Fresh,

Biz Mark had me beat boxin

And Kim, Foxy and

Eve are all warriors

Ya MC Lytes, ya not B's,

ya'll Queen Latifah's

Looks... pretty Nicki's in Ibiza

And every fella had a crush

on Salt N Peppa

She so Naughty By Nature,

Long.Live.A$AP

Written on a Wolf Gang back pack

Things done changed

but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

Yeah I see the rappers man

poppin' champagne

Them Beasty Boys that Rick Rubin

And Big L was the lyrical king,

and Bobby Brown was the rnb king

And we all wanted to be Russell Simmons

What happened to the day

when we were all in the same gang?

Yeah my young cousins

rock Chief Keef tattoos

They say Easy E,

what an attitude

I'm talking Cypress Hill,

I'm talking Ice Cube

I'm talking Ice-T, Dr Dre, Snoop

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony,

Crucial conflict

Twista, Tech N9ne,

flipped it this way

I'm talking from back

in the day in the bay

Keak Da Sneak and the

homie Mack Dre

They should have made a

hip-hop dictionary written by E-40

Red & Meth, Keith Murray,

Kanye, Trick Daddy, Too hort

Flo ridin' with a Pitbull,

Miami going crazy

Bambi, Pimp C,

UGK, Master P

Had me listening to

the south in a new way

And I miss Outkast like

people miss the Fugees

And there's a Birdman

watching over New Orleans

And Scarface never seen a thug cry

Till he seen his Dogg Nate

singin' hooks from the sky

Things done changed

but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

I see them rappers

with the big gold chains

LL Cool J Ja, Irv, Murder Inc Fat Joe,

Big Pun, Cuban Link

We all wanted 5 mics in

The Source magazine

French Montana at the Red Café

Wiz Khalifa rol the paper

up 'we're all in the same gang'

When I hear Waka,

I hear ODB slang

I'm talking Wu Tang,

Raekwon, 2Chainz

EPMD remind me of

them Coke boys

And Joey Bada's,

Uncle Murda, boys

Grandmaster Flash red alert,

I'm talking Kool Herc

Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince

brought it to suburbs

And hip hop will never

the same

Since Eminem lost Proof

and Heavy's out the game

We still immortal with the technique,

making good music

But the tables ain't been the

same since Jam Master used it

And Common used to love

her and her 2Live Crew

Cause she stuck to her

roots and let the DJ Screw

From Busta, Jay, Meek

Mills to Tip to Quik

Kendrick Lamar, Luda,

Ross, Wayne and Drake

50, Future & Game,

Tribe Quest, Wale

And if we miss you,

Puff Daddy do the remix

Things done changed

but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

A new Jesus piece with

Chris Lighty's name

Biggy and Pac, East

and West Coast kids

Mary J Blige, RnB queen

G-Unit, Ruff Ryders,

Mobb Deep, DMX

Lox, Dipset,

and we all in same game
