Hip-Hop changed the world

Don't 4get that

Made from black and brown boys and girls

Don't 4get

There's rules and history to this art

Don't 4get that

Hip-Hop till 4ever and a day

I'ma live that

Hip-Hop changed the world

Don't 4get that

Made from black and brown boys and girls

Don't 4get

There's rules and history to this art

Don't 4get that

Hip-Hop till 4ever and a day

I'ma live that

When it comes to these so called rappers that's on the news

I wish they would choose to hit the snooze

They don't tell the truth

Dude you confused

They only care bout jewels, tools

We look like fools

School is in session

I'll be the professor

These tunes was made to lead the youth out of depression

Fun times from life

Cuz we be under oppression

But somewhere 'mongst the glamour

We've forgotten the message

Why another rapper dead for no reason

This don't happen nowhere else yo

It's only emceeing

I'm tired of watching young Hip-Hoppas stop breathing

Self destruction up ahead

I think this is how to defeat it

Know yourself like you know everybody business

Respect the pioneers cuz without em no existing

To get a vision of the future

Gotta get the history

And be careful what you say

Because somebody always listening

Crazy world we be living in

Word to my Nana Vivian

Once you know what you dealing with

Kinda learn how to live with it

Living in such a villainous time

I'm not surprised

That we all a bunch of lunatics lucrative off of lies

But we have no place for losers, abusing humans for likes

These mics reach heights like never before

We not here to rob our own

Yo we here to restore

I'm here to raise consciousness

While you here to perform

Fun is all fun and games

But I ain't playing around

When it's real vs fake

Who gon' be staying around
