Lyrics

open up for debate, I'm no politic yet, but I await, deep in the midst, where music has been shaken, man follows God creating creation, for now we are content, no negative feedback only positive, then we could look at ourselves, in our music we could see ourselves, we flourished in our own treasure, the awakening of the mind, we crave more from demands of time, when I open my eyes and see a new dawn rise, I reach further than the sky, themes in songs I try to find when I rewind it hits my pride and I'm astonished by the design.
Chorus - I'm hipping to the hop because it's kind of hip, I'm hipping to the hop becuase you know it's hip, gratitude to those before me who flowed the hip, I'm hipping to the hop for Pac and Big.
There is no choice in the matter, I watch the elder cry, I ask what is the matter, the look in his eyes is gone, he looks as if his spririt is gone, he said grasp what I have, because it won't be long, until the new generation desires a different song, either I adapt and change my ways or the record company spits in my face, because today it is about nothing but getting paid, it is your own competition, compete with yourself, make a honest decision your style or the wealth, there is no unity built from your heart, every man for himself we distinguish far apart, like when Pac died I cried, when Big died I cried, the world stopped and cried, music would never be the same, it underwent a change, learning from Pac and Big mistakes, thankful for all the music they made, and can only wonder what they would sound like if alive today.
Chorus -
What is hip hop, video, money, battling, evolving, change the definition, I like old school, but I'm new school, or I thought I was, I spoke much of dawning words and such, to focus spotlights on me, until a different style completely, catch phrases and attitudes, almost foreign tongue use, it works, telling me I'm excused, public wants what is modern, even if it is sudden, so back to the lab with something I once had, today it is what I have to have, everyday new flavors amount, today she is difficult to pronounce, that is hip hop, when she awakes she knows not how to stop.
