What?
Hip-Hop yall, to the top yall
Hip-Hop check it out
Its like that, and it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
We bout to take it to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the
To the to the to the to the check it out

Yo, what? And it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
Im bout to take it to the top, what?
Hip-Hop Hip-Hop love
To the top, Hip-Hop, check it out
Its like, word up, and it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life

The anticipation arose as time froze
I stared off the stage with my eyes closed
And dove into the deep Cosmos
The impact pushed back, the first five rows
But before the raw live shows
I remember Is a little snot-nosed
Rockin Gazelle, goggles and Izod clothes
Learnin the ropes of ghetto survival

Peepin out the situation I had to slide through
Had to watch my back my front plus my sides too
When it came to gettin mine I aint tryin, to argue
Sometimes I wouldnt a made it if it wasnt for you

Hip-Hop, you the love of my life and thats true
When I was handlin the shit I had to do
It was all for you, from the door for you
Speak through you, gettin paper on tour for you
From the start, thought was down by law for you
Used to hit up every corner store wall for you
We ripped shit, and kept it hardcore for you

I remember late nights, steady rockin the mic
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
So tell the people like that yall
And it sounds so nice
Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
We bout to take it to the top

Yo, yo I was speakin, to my guy Riq and
How she was desperately seekin
To organize in a confusion
Usin, no protection, told her on resurrection
Caught in the Hype Williams, and lost her direction
Gettin eight ate in sections where I wouldnt eat her
An under the counter love, so silently I treat her
Her Daddy beat her, eyes all puffed
In the mix on tape, niggaz had her in the buff
When we touch, it was more than just a fuck

The Police, in her I found peace
Like Malcolm in the East
Seen her on the streets of New York, trickin off
Tried to make a hit with her but my dick went soft
Movin weight, losin weight, not picky
With who she choose to date
To confuse the hate, with her struggle I relate
Close to thirty, most of the niggaz she know is dirty
Havin more babies than Lauryn, she started showin early

As of late I realized, that this is her fate
Or destiny that brings the best of me
Its like God is testin me
In retrospect I see she brought life and death to me
Peace to us collectively, live and direct when we perform
Its just coffee shop chicks and white dudes
Over her I got into it with that nigga Ice Cube
Now the fight moved to in life, makin the right moves
Besides God and family, you my lifes jewel
Like that yall

Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop

Take it to the top, what? Hip-Hop
To the top, Hip-Hop check it out
