Hip Hop Thank You!
VERSE 1

It started way back man in 1984
I’s chillin wit my moms up in the record store
Went to explore and to my surprise
I fell in love with 3 fly, dope ass guys
RUN DMC – You be illin!
I asks my mom please
And she was willin
Head thru the celing
I got a strange feelin
Put the needle to the record
It was killin!


I had to learn every word you see
Trying to gain dem skillz of a true MC
It felt so free
It felt so right
Fell asleep listening to those records spin every night

Well alright
This is it
Ima be a rapper, too
I just can’t quit

So legit, so damn raw
5’5 lookin 10 feet tall
Cuz of…


Chorus
Hip Hop Hip Hop
I wanna Thank you
For helping me see
What’s real, Who’s true!
I’m knowing I can do all the things I do
Cuz I believe in the music
It believes in me, too!

So screw you if you don’t like my style
Piss off or return my smile
They made the isle
Ima just walkin down
Hip Hop born in the underground
VERSE 2

A little older
A little bolder
A Little colder
Chip on my shoulder

A little bit cocky
Nan girl you cant stop me
The smart ones are the ones trying to jock
But that’s enough girl, damn please get off me

I’m in the building and I’m feeling myself
Another lesson learned, Yeah, I know my wealth,
I know my worth,
I know my girth
And I been the most high
since the day of my birth

Shooting hoops on the court
Talkin shit like a sport
Back home Dreaming in my pillow fort
Don’t make me resort to my old ways
Pants you in your yard,
‘hood laughin for dayz

Just Keep the records spinnin
While we parking lot pimpin
Everybody just trying to get in
Where they can fit it
Been chillin so long,
It’s like its a sit in
For the feelin that we get
From never givin in!!
Say in…

Chorus
Hip Hop Hip Hop
I wanna Thank you
For helping me see
What’s real, Who’s true!
I’m knowing I can do all the things I do
Cuz I believe in the music
It believes in me, too!


So screw you if you don’t like my style
Piss off or return my smile
They made the isle
Ima just walkin down
Hip Hop born in the underground

VERSE 3

I wouldn’t be who I am without NWA
Ice Tee, Slick Rick or LL Cool J
I AM an around the way girl
Been using my street smarts
To rule this world!!

Yo Yo, MC Lyte, Salt N Pep, Queen Latifa,
Got UNITY
Loyal bitch,
I’ll Neva leave ya

But I m out like ya momma
If I don’t believe ya
Love em all,
trust a few,
the only way,
so see ya!!!

Not tryin to be ya
Cuz I am free’a
I’m Shooting for the moon
So the stars are guaranteed bra!!

But I don’t need much
Some beats and her touch
Sunshine on my face
Green in my clutch

The jewels drip
In the corner with the slow sip
Lookin cray but I wont trip
Shadow boxing , right, left, hook, slip
Crew here now, we ready to dip





Chorus
Hip Hop Hip Hop
I wanna Thank you
For helping me see
What’s real, Who’s true!
I’m knowing I can do all the things I do
Cuz I believe in the music
It believes in me, too!

So screw you if you don’t like my style
Piss off or return my smile
They made the isle
Ima just walkin down
Hip Hop born in the underground
