Hip Hop

Lyrics

Yeah, that's the one
 Yo, Thor-El, just just check your mic
 So you wanna be the Million Dollar Man, kid, what's your plan?
 Make a deal with the Devil, settle for a hundred grand
 Not enough, I call your bluff, hit you with the stuff
 Deal with this an' think you're tough?
 Gimme a call when things get rough
 You get no Vette an' if I could stay leaded
 I'm leavin' rappers one-legged from fakin' like the prosthetic
 More artificial by cripple, rap is like your pistol
 Grim Reaper, I got the whistle, death, I pull no tissue
 Hit you like the Mac-11, MC's subtract by seven
 Callin', callin' for the Reverend, lookin' at Hell like Heaven
 I'm on the map, makin' it like the crazy on the track
 Oh, what the hell, I get my mail while I raid you 'til it crack
 H.I.P.H.O.P., we are
 H.I.P.H.O.P., we are
 Dead, two in the head before some A an' R tell me
 I must give up the streets, you lift the company, can sell me
 What's the sense in being large if you can't take a risk?
 Thinkin' a risk upon a disc means you're written off the list
 I'm not sayin' you can't have your fame an' glory just don't bore me
 When I come to see you live an' I paid twenty-five
 That's crazy loot Kris is sayin', I don't play those games
 'Killing Rhyme Sessions' is the meanin' of my name
 But don't call my name in vain 'cause I will appear
 An' your livest MC will get slain right here
 See, I do the homework an' I do the extra credit
 You could sell a million records an' still can't set it
 'Cause the Lex or Beem is probably just the matches an' a Jeep
 So I'm sure your rap career, now if they come before your people
 Oh, Lord, you can't be thinkin' about Billboard
 With the mic cord an' several thousand people just bored
 Bein' dope live is like bein' insured for life
 You always get called back twice, you are
 H.I.P.H.O.P., we are
 H.I.P.H.O.P., we are
 H.I.P.H.O.P., we are
 H.I.P.H.O.P., we are
 I burn like hydracholoric an' my city got itty
 He's terrible, Thor-El's incredible an' terrific
 Is it that you're under the influence of local obvious?
 Rappers that die, but why? Explain the obvious
 Rockin' strictly the hip hop populace
