"Sambo in the ready, shall we?"
"Remix!"
"Alchemist, uh"
Nucleus jam on, table hands on an anvil
My plans still poppin' 'til they run us out
I doubt the sun will freeze or the sky will fall
Swing with no disregard 'til they call the bout
Not concerned with terms or trends
Or words, it's personal, heard? I'm stackin' ends
Back where ol' birds are lackin' friends (Y'know)
How many of us have 'em anyways? We just actin' then
I'm hip-hop before I saw the needle drop
Only time I go pop is when your eardrums stop
Ooh, I'm attractin' them (Yeah), those passionate for classic gems
Masterin' rap is like classic wheels on a Benz
Drive by with the boomin' system (L-O), tune in and listen (Yeah)
Circle the block, then I'm back again
We're here for round two, the remix, the sequel
I am, we are (Dilated Peoples)
Revolution (Hip-hop, check it out)
To the hiddip the hop, it don't stop (Uh, I am)
Hip-hop (Check it out)
'Cause who I'm talkin' 'bout, y'all, is (B-A)
Master of ceremonies when I bomb this beat
I'm Air Force One stompin' on a concrete street
We live this every single day and night
This is more than just music, this here's a way of life
Park battles, MCs don't hesitate
Little kids try to follow this, emulate, imitate
Older cats pass the culture like coaches
So we gon' be here forever like roaches
And for what it's worth, hip-hop's mom dukes to me
She been breastfeedin' me since birth
And she made me, taught me how to talk this way
Run-DMC taught me how to walk this way
From thugs to gangsters to types that wear a backpack
Breakin' on cardboard, writin' with a fat cap
This time around, I had to form an alliance
(Evidence) BK (Bam Bam) Rakaa Iriscience
I'm hip-hop, check it out
To the hiddip the hop, it don't stop (Uh, I am)
Hip-hop (Check it out)
Hip-hop, hip-hop
Rak' gone from stage-killin', bridge-
Buildin', parents think they kids illin'
Worldwide language of the streets that they kids feelin'
Same love, different bop, different walk, different talk
I represent Cali, but Mecca's the Bronx in New York (Yeah)
Where they flip acrobatic flips, cap poetic kicks
Weekends, it was big screen kung fu flicks
Cats scratch and make turntables do tricks
But remember, real turntablists do mix (Yup)
Where you could tell who got can control through drips
Who's nice by who chokes on microphones, who spits (Spits)
Is Rak' a rock steady jacket, black Zulu beads hang
Bang glass tables like Prodigy's chain
Slang collegiate, write rhymes in varsity letters
Help you read it, think of it as tutoring if needed (Ha)
We're here for round two, for the remix, the sequel
L.A. glows when you spell Dilated Peoples (Yeah)
Check it out (I am)
Hip-hop
To the hiddip the hop, it don't stop
Hip-hop culture
From your lips
I came here to represent my people, check it out (Check it out)
Hip—, hip—, hip—, hip-hop
Hip—, hip—, hip—, hip—, hip-hop
Hip—, hip—, hip-hop-hop-hop-hop-hop-hop
Hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop
