|
Verse One: J-Ro
|
The year is 2004, people talk about war
|
I had to hit the floor when the bombs began toopour
|
Ten minutes ago I was mad cause my stomach was grumbling
|
Now the whole world is crumbling
|
I hear people scream across the street gettin crushed
|
This went on for twenty minutes then the whole world hushed
|
I couldn't see shit but I could feel myself breathin
|
Damn I'm still kickin but I'm just not believin
|
I give thanks to God then I'm off on my mission
|
Ain't no stars in the sky so it ain't no wishin
|
I wonder, I wonder, I just can't under-stand
|
Why, am I the last man?
|
Verse Two:
|
These crazy thoughts in my head won't stop
|
Where's my moms and my pops and what about hip-hop
|
I'm pickin up things that could be of use to me
|
Too build a makeshift crib where Hollywood used to be
|
And it ain't no forties, it ain't no blunts
|
I ain't had no ass in five years and eight months
|
Five more years pass, and I still survive
|
And I'm through with wonderin who's still alive
|
Until one day I'm just walkin along
|
And I hear this kid singin a hip-hop song
|
He said, "That's the way it is, and it's like that"
|
I said, "Yo kid c'mere, where you learn that song at?"
|
He said, "My daddy taught me about the hip-hop game
|
I'm eight years old and Rakim is my name"
|
He said, "Yo I'll take you to him, come follow me;
|
but first you gotta prove that you can MC"
|
So I cleared my throat got in a b-boy stance
|
and I ran through a rhyme that made him piss in his pants
|
With tears in his eyes, he grabbed me by the hand
|
And then we ran, ten miles across the sand
|
He took me to the spot, dig deep underground
|
Where I can hear the sound of the big bass pound
|
I wasn't really sure, but I swore we smelled blunt smoke
|
No joke loc, well can I get a toke?
|
He took me to his pops and he handed me a spliff
|
And out behind the wall came Tash and E-Swift
|
They took me to a freestle session it was on
|
I knew hip-hop would never be gone
|
FIve hundred hip-hop deep
|
Yo we cool in 2014, Alkaholiks still rulin
