Luyện nghe bài hát Hope

Hip-hop, it never die
Hip-hop, will never, never die

**** struttin' with nothin' but dreams and Queens broke
Mack-10's, you can smell the PCP
Mele Mel told it real in the music he
Those were the days I remember, we used to be

I was nine, coldest winter I remember
Was in December, two feet of snow
Yeah, that's the Coast, that black ice
Symbolized the rap life, it was and smooth
I understood I had to come the hood

the Pee Wee Herman, the Smurf
Before phones chirped
The block's flowin', didn't have your own work
You had to have somebody else's, a small on your pelvis
Starter Jacket, Georgetown or Green Celtic

Your girl's too expensive, she wants
Red Lobster was poppin', standin' on that forever
I wish somebody would step on my leather's
Now whatever, hip-hop's forever

Kept my on 98 or BLS
Had a pre-pubescent gift but **** never hear me spit
My little brother to warn 'em, I was a tornado comin'
He knew from inside, the eye of a storm and told my pops about it

He gave us to that Wild Style flick
Double Trouble, retarded, we was the
I never had a summer job, sweepin' leaves, socks to my
Homemade cutoff, Lee's

I ain't work a day in my
Wipin' eraser of the paper man
I'm just to say it right
Big radio, tape slowin'

Lower the go, battery dead
I freeze 'em 'til they ice cold
In the freezer later, I'm starin' at the
Sunk in them 808's deeper, my sneakers

Wit' the bristles of a toothbrush, soap and
I let the shoe strings soak in

Live live, live hip-hop live
Give give, give hip-hop give
hip-hop stay, stay hip-hop stay
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray stays

Ain't got to do wit old school, new school
Dirty South, West Coast, Coast
about us, this our thing, 'knaw'sayin'?
This came from the gut, the blood, from the soul
here man, this is our thing man, you know, so I say what I say

Live live, live hip-hop live
hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
Stay hip-hop stay, hip-hop stay
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop

And I say I say, and I mean it
Y'all it how you wanna take it
if you're askin', why is hip-hop dead?
It's a pretty chance you're the reason it died, man

It's a pretty good chance your ****
Corny ****, is the it died, man
You don't a **** about, you don't know nothin' about it
You this paper, be a hustler

Live hip-hop live, live hip-hop
Give hip-hop give, hip-hop give
Stay hip-hop stay, stay stay
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray hip-hop

You a hustler, you a rapper
Get paper man
You know what I'm sayin', but this rap **** is
****, **** is real, ****

Stay hip-hop stay, hip-hop stay
(Live, live)
I pray, hip-hop pray, I pray stays
(Give)

Live live, live hip-hop live
(Stay)
hip-hop give, give hip-hop give
Stay stay, stay hip-hop stay
I pray, pray, I pray hip-hop stays
