It's Alive!

Hip-hop is not dead

Alive, haha, it's alive!

It's alive!

Here we go now, quit recking my stereo-sound

Spitting rhymes like a merry-go-round

Talking 'bout your heavy fo' pound

Your barretta, your cheddar, your megalo style

Fella, quit messing around

Measure yo, message yo, merit yo' crown

Many clowns making money, many men wanna rap

Every dummy wanna spit it, but how many profound?

Mc's are an army of clones

Talking 'bout their Baccardi n' hoes

With garbagy flows, party n' clothes

Is a beat really that hard to compose?

Hip-hop comes from the heart n' the bones

You can feel it when I'm rockin' my shows

I'm a lyricist, I'ma spit about every bit of it

I'm living it, a real MC already knows!

I keep rockin' 'til I need oxygen

Peace to all the beatboxers n'

The DJs, the street breakers, the beat makers

And those that keep watching 'em

Graph writers that paint the city

They spray the walls, they make 'em gritty

Displaying stories that talk to me

In a way that's witty

Individual vultures are killing the culture

With no heart in the music

You should move if you don't wanna unify hip-hop

N' be a part of the movement, stupid!

Yeah, you heard what I said

Fuck the rumours this lot spread

I'ma tell every motherfucker listenin'

(Hip-hop is not dead!)

Stop the fuss, dog, what's the problem?

Trust me y'all, the culture ain't dead, it's just evolvin'

(Hip-Hop is not dead!)

Like Latin, a language dies when it does not move

So let it live, let it mix, let it choose

(Hip-Hop is not dead!)

Suckers debate over who's so dope n' who's so not

Hip-hop police suck my you know what!

(Hip-Hop is not dead!)

Don't be Nostalgic about something that you can keep breathing

That's a good enough reason

(It's alive!)

(Hip-Hop is not dead!)
