Testo Hip Hop - LL Cool J

Testo della canzone Hip Hop (LL Cool J), tratta dall'album Mr. Smith

Word up! Ya know what I'm sayin'?
I gotta globe in the world in the mail today
NahI'msayin? Heh, word up
Uhh, kid told me "Yo, the world is yours, kid, put it in ya pocket"
Nahmean?
Make a brother feel good, word up!
Brother feels energized
I wanna dedicate this one to the game that put me on the map (hip-hop)
You know what I'm saying?
I know you love it, the game is so irresistible to touch
You should see me when fiendin' for microphones that I can clutch
Droppin' bombs, combinin' the club attracts
Like the old Sugarhill Gang, King Tim and Fatback
There's no question the suggestion was made
The foundation was laid when the Furious played
Grandmaster Flash slayed the competition that was wishin'
They could serve the technician with the number one position
Uh, the real deal, Fearless Four scored
Bambaataa was hotter, Spoonie was givin' 'em nada
An' I was all up in my headzone, melody and' all
Cosign and The Movement sayin', "Yes, yes y'all"
It's just the love affair that never ended
I recommended that I take microphones and blow 'em up, ain't that splendid?
This one goes out to all the hip-hop do-or-diers
A song is dedicated to the music I admire
Forever (uh) and ever (yeah)
We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop) (word up, word up)
Forever (for life) and ever (for life)
We want you (yeah, here we go), do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop)
Kane's era was terror, he warmed it up
Parrish and Erick, cat lyrics that'll make ya turn it up
And I was in the cut, chillin' in my drop-top Benz with friends
Loungin' with my men, laughin' 'bout all the ends that I spend
Making snaps, pumping Kool G Rap and Biz
Dapper Dan, dookie ropes, I'm about to show what time it is
At the rooftop, I was with Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick
"La Di Da Di, Who Likes To Party?" was the fat shit
I mean, I saw this hip-hop thing on every level
Chuck D, P.E., yes, the rhythm and the rebel
I can reminisce the black fist, Uzi, Terminators
Terrordome techniques that terrorize the lighter shade-a
It's all about the game that we play every day
Eric B & Rakim flow to such a different way
I'm lovin' hip-hop 'cause it helps brothers escape
Let's celebrate our music people before it's too late
Forever (uh) and ever (yeah)
We want you (for life), I need you (I need hip-hop)
Forever (that's right, uh) and ever (ain't no doubt)
We want you (I wanna set it, I wanna set it), do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop)
Survival Of The Fittest, Mobb Deep, and Lost Boyz
Lickin' shots got the game hot, they even flipped on 2Pac
Snoop Doggy Dogg put the West Coast in gear
Dr. Dre, NWA, Eazy-E's in here
I wanna tell the world they just don't understand
My man Nas Escobar, Wu-Tang Clan
Keith Murray to the Redman, down south, Da Brat
My people, are you with me? Where you at? Ya peep that?
I'm on a mission to rejuvenate the funk
Bring the game back and give the do-or-die what they want
When you hear Craig Mack, Notorious B.I.G
Latifah, Heavy D, you should reminisce of me
Some say it's Naughty By Nature, "Hip-hop in all its glory"
A fleet of battleships floatin' in different categories
My love affair with hip-hop'll never fade away
Sincerely yours, LL Cool J
Forever (peace) and ever (uh)
We want you (yeah), I need you (I need hip-hop, talkin' 'bout hip-hop, y'all)
Forever (that's right) and ever (born and raised)
We want you (through the thick and the thin, hip hop forever, kid)
Do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop)
Forever and ever (yeah)
We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop)
Forever and ever (uh)
We want you (yeah), do you feel the same way too? (Yeah)
Ain't no doubt about it, kid, know I'm sayin'?
Hip-hop's the game, helped a lot of brothers escape
Take it to another level, know I'm sayin'?
It's our music, we own this music, know what I'm sayin'?
Word life, I wanna give a couple of shoutouts here, know what I'm saying?
First of all, I wanna thank my man, Baby Chris, y'nahmean?
Helped me put this Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith album together
Make it hot, know I'm sayin'?
Thank the Trackmasters, Poke & Tone, Steve Stoute
We definitely turning this joint out, y'nahmean
Word bond, Hip-Hop for life, kid
Forever (yeah) and ever
We want you, I need you
Forever-
