Description:
This is my noisy cry for true hip hop in a world of plastic gangster c-rap. It's time to return to the four elements: DJing, MCing, breakdancing, and graf art. Come on, people, honestly. Don't lessen yourselves by allowing these fakers to dominate the airwaves. It's not about shooting up the block and smoking your brains out, or how many women you got. It's all about the skills of the beat. Even a white boy like me can stay true to the roots better than these fake gangsters on MTV.
All lyrics written and performed by me, all sounds produced, mixed, mastered and performed by me.
Lyrics:
I bust a
Move on ya face, and it
Tastes like mace, because ya
Lack the grace to face the
Sound of the drum and the bass,
I set a medium pace,
upon which I place
the key ingredients to
your disgrace, ----namely
Booze------- Bling--------
Ho’s and commercialism;
the four ailments that
I plan to cure wid a
rhythm of schism ridden wid
hidden symbolism. Isn’t
it time you rhymed from the
heart? You made it to the
charts, so what? your flow’s re-
cycled like yo mamma’s farts,
the funny part is you ac-
tually call it art. I don’t
give a rat’s *** how much you
blast your gats, and you know
what? Neither did Grand-
Master Flash; you suf-
fer the four ailments and I
got the cure it’s
hip-hop, served by a white
guy Pure.
they know what is what but they
don’t know what is what
they just strut
what the ****.
Big up the hip-hop and beware the four ailments
**** the ****, so what? then bust a
slug in her gut, but don’t ex-
pect me to clap when you rap a-
bout it you dumb ****. the
wax ‘n the battle raps ‘n the
breakdance mats don’t give re-
spect to the idols of an-
gry suburban brats. I’m
tired of your ***, runnin’ your
mouth about smokin’ grass, brag-
gin’ ‘bout cash, flashin’ yo’ brass,
like it’s a hall pass. *****
they know what is what but they
don’t know what is what
they just strut
what the ****
Big up the hip-hop and beware the four ailments.
I see the minds of this exodus
caught in a sigh by the spies
of the bodiless eye oth-
erwise known as MTV
Signs of this can be
seen in the schools we’re rai-
sin’ fools, we’re breakin’ all the
golden rules. the silver
screen is a mushroom and
we’re the spores we just
slit our minds, drippin’ the gore
of spiritual war. Diamonds
‘n’ *****s were never part of the
four elements tellin’ us
otherwise is to sell an en-
tire culture’s core. A
capital offense, if you’re on
the wrong street you get
beats for that, so you’d best
move ye’ feet. People
won’t stay blind foreva
pretty soon you’ll be ob-
solete, mindless, with ya
spinal cord severed.
