lyrics

“Why I Love Hip Hop”

Intro:

Gimme Your Love

Get on the dance floor ya’ll

Raise your cups

If you got some, blaze it up

Hook:

Diggin,’ Evolvin’, Creatin’, Adaptin’

Spittin’, Bombin’ Breakin’, Scratchin’ (x 3)

Verse 1:

Needle drops, the record spins,

dope beats, tight rhymes, a fluid blend,

You and a room of your friends,

take the old make it new again

Funk, Rock, Soul, Blues and Jazz

transforms to the newest raps

hit the breaks reinvent the rules and then

raise the decibels til the roof caves in

pay homage to the legends, keep it real no question

go hard, and represent

love that new-new but respects the architect,

For Kool Herc,

I drop a smooth verse

truth hurts, music hits you feel no pain,

a universe of possibility in ya brain

same elements combined flipped and rearranged

timeless eclipse like the seasons change

from producers chopping wax in the lab

emcees dropping knowledge bringing it back

b-boys poppin and lockin’ blow-up the ave.

energy never destroyed nor created

endless cycle building on the past,

projected into the future, to make it last

it don’t, it can’t and it won’t stop

that’s why I love hip hop (x 3)

Hook:

Diggin,’ Evolvin’, Creatin’, Adaptin’

Spittin’, Bombin’ Breakin’, Scratchin’

Toast to the classics

The elements that awaken your passion

Pass the dro and raise your glasses

Move your mind and shake your asses (x 2)
