MC Shan - Living In The World Of Hip Hop Lyrics
Hip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hip-hop (2x)There is no implication hip-hop is wrongBeats tapped out, played back in songsConsider hip-hop as a verbal sportIt brings pleasure while expressin one frame of thoughtThose that don't like it, then you're psychoticTo my point of view hip-hop has got itRhymes being written everytime you blinkWith no vital signs of becoming extinctTry to demolish, it will not be worthKilling all hip-hop fans on earthDon't try to compare it, there's no relativeThe word to describe hip-hop: creativeOnce you're at a party you're in hip-hop's lairTo downgrade all, how could one dare?Once upon a time they used to play soul>From there they went to rock 'n rollRock died down, then along came popNow you're livin in the world of hip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hip-hop (2x)I am the creator of my hip-hop styleWith a level of college understood by childHip-hop is being moved on a one-way courseUp and being led by an unseen forceYou try to hold it down, won't be no goodThe more it gets exposed, the more it gets understoodIt's all fantasy, yet all realisticOften complicated, other times simplisticLyrics so sharp, they can cut like a knifeI'm sworn by oath to the hip-hop lifeLess live drums, less guitar strummingHip-hop is the life of the up and comingNot by force, by want and choicePersuaded by the beat and the MC voiceThere are people who love it across the landAnd there are those that think that it should be bannedWell I say I love it, it comes from my heartVery thankful for the day that it got its startNow that it got started, you see it won't stopAnd you'll be livin in the world of hip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hip-hop (2x)(Super sperm)Hip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hip-hopThe only thing you could do that would make me madIs take away my pen and my hip-hop padTake that away, I have nothing leftSo let it go free or sentence me to deathI know you had troubles with your moms and dadWhen you were growin up goin through your childhood badSome parents think that hip-hop meansWearin fat shoe laces and name brand jeansIt really doesn't matter just what you sayHip-hop will be around till you're old and greyThey're just all lies created by nerdsYou think that I'm playin, you mark my wordsJust like man sends rockets to MarsHip-hop living is ascending to starsThe more it gets accepted, you'll see it won't dropAnd you'll be livin in the world of hip-hopRunnin neck to neck in the music world raceYou don't have to listen if it isn't your tasteIt's becoming worldwide, internationally knownHave you ever heard the saying 'to each his own'?People like jazz, cause that's their tasteI prefer crisp highs with an earthquake bassThere are hip-hop songs that make you tenseAnd then there are those not worth 2 centsBut still hip-hop's gonna make its markCause you used to only hear it in your neighborhood parkTo all non-believers, you should know your nameSince the parks, don't you see how far the hip-hop came?It's been around for years, and you ask yourself how?For the very same reason that you're listening nowYou might have been hooked from the very first lineCause raps like these cultivate one's mindOne day your resistance level might dropAnd you'll admit: it's a world of hip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hip-hop (2x)Straight from the MC's mouth you heard itYou have to bear witness cause you can't convert itIt's based on a beat with a real slight dipKool Herc came along and said, "That's hip"Heads started bobbin, he began to hopAnd he said, "Let's call this hip-hop"Hip-hopHip-hopHip-hopHip-hip-hop (5x)
