It's Alive!

Hip-hop is not dead
 Alive, haha, it's alive!
 It's alive!
 Here we go now, quit recking my stereo-sound
 Spitting rhymes like a merry-go-round
 Talking 'bout your heavy fo' pound
 Your barretta, your cheddar, your megalo style
 Fella, quit messing around
 Measure yo, message yo, merit yo' crown
 Many clowns making money, many men wanna rap
 Every dummy wanna spit it, but how many profound?
 Mc's are an army of clones
 Talking 'bout their Baccardi n' hoes
 With garbagy flows, party n' clothes
 Is a beat really that hard to compose?
 Hip-hop comes from the heart n' the bones
 You can feel it when I'm rockin' my shows
 I'm a lyricist, I'ma spit about every bit of it
 I'm living it, a real MC already knows!
 I keep rockin' 'til I need oxygen
 Peace to all the beatboxers n'
 The DJs, the street breakers, the beat makers
 And those that keep watching 'em
 Graph writers that paint the city
 They spray the walls, they make 'em gritty
 Displaying stories that talk to me
 In a way that's witty
 Individual vultures are killing the culture
 With no heart in the music
 You should move if you don't wanna unify hip-hop
 N' be a part of the movement, stupid!
 Yeah, you heard what I said
 Fuck the rumours this lot spread
 I'ma tell every motherfucker listenin'
 (Hip-hop is not dead!)
 Stop the fuss, dog, what's the problem?
 Trust me y'all, the culture ain't dead, it's just evolvin'
 (Hip-Hop is not dead!)
 Like Latin, a language dies when it does not move
 So let it live, let it mix, let it choose
 (Hip-Hop is not dead!)
 Suckers debate over who's so dope n' who's so not
 Hip-hop police suck my you know what!
 (Hip-Hop is not dead!)
 Don't be Nostalgic about something that you can keep breathing
 That's a good enough reason
 (It's alive!)
