[03:59.60][03:56.63][03:48.57][03:46.12][03:43.66][02:43.01][02:31.93][01:37.85][01:34.96][01:32.43][01:26.70][01:24.52][01:21.46][00:18.49][00:15.59]I do it for hip-hop
[00:20.73]Yeah, I do it for hip-hop
[00:22.65]Now this is what they call poetry in motion
[00:24.68]My soul bleeds on the paper, heart screams with emotion
[00:28.12]This my daily devotion, that verses stay deeper than the ocean
[00:31.23]So hip-hop you owe me a promotion
[00:33.41]Yeah, I do a little boastin' and braggin'
[00:35.20]What's all the commotion and naggin' about
[00:37.91]'Cause I'm still the champ in the south
[00:39.47]'Cause rappers get in the booth and I keep draggin' them out
[00:42.20]Where they fired and these pink slips I keep handin' them out
[00:44.81]'Cause this is Theater of Mind, consider it a sign
[00:47.38]Of what's to come next, my money's just fine
[00:50.23]Bank filled with dump checks
[00:51.80]Terrorist threat flow, proceed to drop (bombs) like Mr. Funk Flex
[00:55.70]But I don't do it for the money, I do it from the heart
[00:58.51]I'll do it with the beatbox, I did it from the start
[01:01.22]I'll do it for the DJs, I'll do it for the charts
[01:04.12]The Van Gogh flow, Luda do it 'cause it's art
[01:06.67]I do it for the fans, I do it on command
[01:09.37]I do it for the front row, I do it for the stands
[01:12.10]I spit it for the hood, I do it for the block
[01:14.67]And since nine years old, I did it for hip-hop
[01:17.38]So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops
[03:50.21][02:34.29][01:28.43]And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks
[01:39.44]They say I'm so low key, I'm socially awkward
[01:42.07]Only those that really know me are the ones that I talk with
[01:45.33]They smile in the light, hate in the dark,
[01:47.59]You call it beef, to me it's's just a fuckin' walk in the park
[01:50.32]Because you are who you are when nobody is looking
[01:53.05]That's who you are so when the cash and cars is gone,
[01:55.81]the day after tomorrow
[01:57.28]Don't be askin' to borrow, ski maskin' it hard,
[01:59.67]like the way you rap in your bars
[02:01.79]I could ride on you and whoever,
[02:03.08]devise new endeavors I'm as live as hive full of predators
[02:06.97]Twenty thousands different species of bees
[02:09.40]Some half poisonous sting, some just pollinating their leafs
[02:12.05]It's just like rap, some will buzz some will attack,
[02:14.87]Compromising their own life in fact
[02:17.42]Sixteen years since my first sixteen, pardon the rest of my niggas
[02:20.88]But I'm the best whoever did it
[03:39.62][02:23.37]I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops
[02:26.25]Uh, I do it for hip-hop
[02:39.56][02:28.91]Yeah, I do it for hip-hop, uh
[02:37.27]Why we do it kid, I do it for hip-hop
[02:45.19]Hip-hop, started out in the park
[02:47.83]We used to do it to avoid the Narcs
[02:50.46]I used to do it so the homeboy Clark can get the fuck
[02:53.98]Off my back while I knocked off these packs
[02:56.10]I used to rap to impress my friends
[02:58.82]The past of time when I was gettin' it in
[03:01.51]Just so happens I'm so illegal with the pen, they
[03:04.00]Ain't want me to do anything illegal again
[03:06.60]I lost a lot of dawgs to these streets
[03:09.71]I got Grammy awards on these beats
[03:12.43]Thank God for Cool Herc
[03:15.16]Without this shit I probably would've got murked
[03:17.93]Shout outs to Grandmaster Flash and the cash
[03:21.46]And even Jaz bum ass
[03:23.24]Hip hop helped me wash me ass
[03:25.92]These other rappers couldn't wash my socks
[03:28.84]That's why I took the number one slot
[03:31.47]The realest shit in rap comes from my voice box
[03:34.15]Lord knows when I was on my clock
[03:36.53]I probably never would've stopped
[03:38.29]Thank God for hip-hop
[03:53.11]Come on, I do it for hip-hop
[04:03.07]
