Preferred Band/Artist: AKA
Verse 1:
They say that I'm a problem, ring the alarm, oh no ...
Getting good rappers out they comfort zones, awkward
I've been getting brain like there's nothing that I don't know
And girls acting like they stars, instagramming photos
Ask those ... rappers if they also need a halo
Matter fact forget it, cause you always on that yes no
Test scores lately never made it to the 80's
But I was never fond of that like I'm from the 90's
Nikeez always been my favourite type of shoe wear
Made that statement like I know somebody who cares
New year's resolution
Turn my swag into class
Got a bad chick, call her devil in a new dress
I could be Da Les and tippy toe you rappers to death
Deaf to the fact hip hop music lost its conscience
I'll be treating every concert like is a conference
Give ya'll, just a piece of me
What they call that, knowledge
Chorus:
Let's keep it hip hop, for people who love it and don't stop
Don stop, stop living it up
We all the same till we be stars, yet we still claim this lifestyles ours
From the ... cars, the clothes, the house with the yard
Materials religion do we still believe in God?
I don't know but they don't stop living life in the midst of hip hop
Verse 2:
Paper is language of the modern day rapper
If you ain't talking money, then you ain't sought after
If you aint talking honeys, then you aint sought after
If you aint going partying, then you aint sought after
But the sad thing is ...
Real hip hop doesn't sell
You'd think I'm lying to you
But ... I've seen it for myself
All the vices I mentioned are just a lifestyle
All the legends im repping ... where here a soundtrack ago
It's up to me to take over the show
Lets keep it hip hop for people who love this movement
Who act stupid intoxicated by music
Why? Cause man life alone is too confusing
We rappers nowadays only make music for amusement
Not me, I'm making music for that improvement
Better yourself, cause that's what's important
And now my music probably get imported ...
Chrous:
Lets keep it hip hop, for people who love it and don't stop
Don stop, stop living it up
We all the same till we be stars, yet we still claim this lifestyles ours
From the ... cars, the clothes, the house with the yard
Materials religion do we still believe in God?
I don't know but they don't stop living life in the midst of hip hop
Verse 3:
Not that conscious commercial rapper
Apologize for my stature
You out here causing a scene
I always knew you an actor
But Hector Pieterson had to get shot to become famous
Imagine where he would be if he finished his education
Some patience is all we need like doctor qualifications
All I see is the future I'm blind to the limitations
You see ... situations I pass off as opportunities
Since I'm in the game I became more than just a nominee
Just like a leader my music got me a following
Pride swallowing, hash tag swaging and travelling
Get everything that I wanted since I was eleven
Got enough weight on these bars to play for the sevens..
I'm getting high as heaven my game got elevated too
Now you hear them whisper my name in every single room
I'm up early for the breakfast and the hustle too
But working graveyard shifts
Making a killing in the afternoon
Chorus:
Let's keep it hip hop, for people who love it and don't stop
Don stop, stop living it up
We all the same till we be stars, yet we still claim this lifestyles ours
From the ... cars, the clothes, the house with the yard
Materials religion do we still believe in God?
I don't know but they don't stop living life in the midst of hip hop
