Well my ladies and

And when I talk about "Hip-Hop Music!", I

One: Breaking or break

b-boying, freestyle or street dancin'

Two: or rap
Divine speech what I'm right now no act
Three: Grafitti art or bombin'

Taggin', writin', now learning! uh!

: DJ'ing, we ain't playing!

{*scratch* You know I'm saying!

Five :

Give me a Yes and we rockin'!
Six: Street fashion, fly

Catchin' the eye them cats walk on by

Seven: Street language, our verbal

Our codes throughout the

Street knowledge, common sense

The wisdom of the from way back whence

Nine : entrepreneur realism
No job, get up call 'em and get 'em

how I'm tellin' it, all 9 Elements

We stand in love, no we're failing it

No doubt

Hip-Hop? not selling it out, we're just lettin' it out

"If checkin' us out this hour, we teachin' Hip Hop;

Holy Integrated People Omnipresent Power."

Rap is you do!

3x is something you live! *scratched*

Rap is you do!

is something you live! *scratched*

Skaters, BMX riders, rock

Don't you stop! You are hip-hop

You doing the same we did on our block in the suburbs

You know you be packing that block

that crack rock and ecstacy

Gettin' pissy drunk, out next to me

But like I told those in the

Here's the facts! True hip-hop is so much more than

Some much than rap, so much more than beats

Hip-hop is all victory over the streets

That's not something you wanna live or your life by

But, huh that's too much ain't it?

You don't want the "edutainment", you wanna be on the pavement

Well, so be it, some of ya'll gonna see it

Others enslave your mind! Kris wanna free it!

Rap is you do!

5x Hip-Hop is something you live!

"Oh yea" *scratched* --- "P is free"

"I have spent my whole livin'", "talk to the fullest", "no doubt"

Cause the essence of hip-hop is not a thang

so careless, hip-hop is in a {? we give
Rap we do, hip-hop we

How many times I say it? How the radio ain't gonna play it

And you hip-hoppers sit and okay it

about it! (think about it)

The course of action, we have got to reroute it!

[Chorus: 3X]

is something you live!
