[Intro]

Woo! haha, uh



[Chorus - Royce Da 5'9"]

I know my streets, I know my sounds

Y'all know my beats, how I get down

I take my steps, and leaps and bounds

Nigga it's - HIP HOP!



[Verse 1 - Royce Da 5'9"]

Yeah, yeah, we started from nothin a couple MC's

Beat-boxin, the crowd in the lunch room (yeah)

Me and Prem', both names go together

Like they ain't supposed to be seperate, like "D" in the D

I said it before, I rep in records beats

At the headquarters, rest in peace

Nigga I'ma hold shotty, and knock you out

And I ain't gotta know Karate like Afu-ra

It's - HIP HOP!, strong or not

This is rap basketball, stats all you got

Long as you hot, and your flow could hold up

To knowin all of your short goals is long shots!

Ninety percent of you niggaz ain't hard

Here Just to Get a Rep , you not Gangstarrs

The finest flow will amaze, rap without me

Minus The Source, minus the Quotable page



[Chorus - Royce Da 5'9"]

HIP HOP! is everything around you

[scratched] - "No competition"

Back to the voice, of today

[scratched] - "It's real in the field"

What's realer than - HIP HOP! (yeah)

I know my streets, I know my sounds

Y'all know my beats, how I get down

I take my steps, and leaps and bounds

Nigga it's - HIP HOP!



[Verse 2 - Royce Da 5'9"]

Rythmic, league c'mon wit it, I'm long winded

I will diss you, from long distances

You will not get the chance, like Choppa

Ness and Dylan, to dis-respect, who you don't listen to

Egg in the skillet brain, nigga, diss is you

Smarten up, every person in the earth, be harden up

But the only target is us

It's - HIP HOP! cars and trucks

I be dreamin
