Verse 1:
It's not my mantra to bring you drama
I try to act proper even offer some honor
Got an armor for trauma coz karma
Will harm all these monsters who sponsored this genre
Hiphop impostors with cash and some mansions
Invitin me to sell my soul I tell em "No!"
A steppin stone treatment through their actions
They're laughin and act as if my passion for rappin is fashion
So I'm askin the younger generation
Maintain the reputation or exceed the expectations?
Find the medication, dig a deeper excavation
Information found in music as a form of education
Coz the problem with these kids today is that
They can’t tell the difference between fiction and fact
They'd only listen and react to mediocre fucking tracks
And wouldn’t care if shit is wack as long as "swagger" is intact
Fuck that!
But there's positive possibilities
Coz the youth's incapability is our responsibility
Children nowadays would learn new terminologies
Profanity from unsupervised use of new technology
So my apologies to the mothers in our motherland
Been hungry since the government won’t cover rents we're sufferin
Grab the upper hand, so educate your other friends
Though only one percent out of a hundred men would understand that
Hook (2x):
Hiphop ain’t dead just sleepin
Try reachin down at the deep end
You looked around but still you never found it
Coz the realest sound lied beneath your feet it's in the underground
Verse 2:
This ain’t a movement, Rap is simply music
But it's a tool so be careful how you use it
Don't get confused and abuse it to prove shit
Thinkin if it’s cool if you rippin through the blueprint
With drugs, sex, gang violence and dress codes
Materialism, racism, ya’ll would represent those?
I'm bout to explode, I've written ya’ll a death note
Present poems and let go of the anger in my threshold
Coz people often take Hiphop as a morbid based form of hate
Just coz we ain’t born and raised to conform but hey
It's in my blood and veins to formulate and orchestrate
An alternate new course of fate coz Hiphop's in a dormant state
Now, it's a free for all brawl and I'm involved
But I'm breakin through these walls, so what if labels wouldn’t call
You gon crawl once that money in your vault comes to a halt
After all a mainstream always ends in waterfalls
I'm meaning to address but they ain’t easily impressed
Gorillas beating up their chest I guess they see me as a threat
Fuck trying to be the best! Too much envy from my neighbors
White lies with white ink on white paper
See the proof's in the brain, there’s no truth to my name
I'm not a maestro coz I never tutored this game
But it's true when I say I’m still a student today
Coz I always want to learn something new every day, like
Repeat hook (4x)
