You pout like a trout in a drought. . . can't get out. You want to scream, but fish can't shout.
Slide slide slippity-slide When you're living in a city it's do or die
I don't really get the same kinda romance that I would get from, like, jazz. And even to a lesser extent to rock 'n roll. Rock 'n roll has a romance to it - how can I put it? A very vulgar romance, but still a romance; whereas hip hop has more facade.
Bend over to the front touch toes Back dat ass up and down and get low (get low)
Homicide central, East New York, Where the manic-depressive psycho murderers stalk
I started dancing when I was 3 in Toledo, Ohio, and started hip-hop dancing at the age of 7.
Oh, you a E head, oh, you a weed head I got a big gun, bigger than Maxi Priest dread
Dear Hip Hop, we can't scream 'murder, misogyny, lawlessness' in our music & then turn around and ask for equality & justice.
I make chicks consider themselves widows whose husbands ain't even died yet.
I won't say I'm the baddest, or portray that role, But I'm in the top 2, and my father's gettin' old.
Strictly cop and go's until we laid in the Galapagos Eating tacos, higher than an opera note
I was once that little boy Terrified of the world, now I'm on a world tour
I make an ass clap like tap shoes.
The Bronx is famous for two things. Hip-hop, and 26 world championships.
Feeling mad hostile, wearing Aéropostale, Flowing like Christ when I speaks the gospel.
Day in and day out we do the same thing, Tryina find the joy in our repetition. Always complainin' about the routine and the mundane. But let me stop to remind y'all bout one thing: Come hell or high water you can count on the sun Always shinin' in its untamed glory.
I do experiment with lots of different genres. In making music, I don't think of genre like, "I want to do this, because I'm going use that country music sound; I'm going use that hip-hop sound; I'm going use that acoustic [sound]. " It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more since I did Acoustic Soul, I'm sure that different sounds will come into place, because I have been exposed to it and I like it. But it's not so much of a conscience effort. It's mind and spirited. You know, we're humans.
Keep my planets in orbit, Never forfeit or quit, Move forward. . . I talk with the awkward slang, I walk with the Wu-Tang.
When I first heard hip-hop I thought it was rubbish because I didn't understand the concept of people talking over music.
At the end of the day, you want to be always the one that's one step ahead of everybody, and when it comes to hip-hop, culture and art, you want to be that signature guy.
