We Run Things (It's Like Dat)

Which babies in the area you know
 (It's y'all that y'all, It's y'all that y'all)
 (It's y'all that y'all)
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, yeah
 Back in the days before I signed a line
 When the baby face never got paid to rhyme
 When Kane released Raw and everything was fine
 Before the rap industry messed with my mind
 I used to run to the jam snot nosed and all
 Never tried to be hard, never tried to play the wall
 MCs grab the mike tap the head and begin
 Flowed for four minutes then passed to the end
 But nowadays 'cause rap pays
 You got a million rappers and a thousand DJs
 All wanna talk about how much they flip
 Runnin off at the mouth so much ya tongue was kicks
 But that's aight, I represent the real hip hop
 Because rappers just rap but MCs get props
 And we run styles no styles no run we
 Bush Babees run things represent who you be
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 I represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 I represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all (we run things)
 (Things run we) I represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 I represent the hip hop, yeah
 It's a every style, nah gonna live like people do
 Make a new style from run you
 How does the Ambush crew a-pass through?
 I make we tell them what for do
 Me say mercy, worse he bitter like circy
 No have to bust a shot to make a next man hear me
 Rush me, comin' from the music industry
 Everybody wan fe be a bad man, them crazy
 Easy an MC, a why do them, a why do them
 Them would-a use we, nah just to reach the top rung
 But in the know we know we never sell out fe dem
 They ask them the question and it's like them hear den
 If reggae music and hip-hop upon friend
 A message we're send
 To tell the all uh them, united we with or divided
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all (we run things, things don't run we)
 (we run things, things don't run we) we represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, (we run things, things don't run we) It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, yeah
 It's been a while since you heard somebody rhyme like this
 The fortified mental grimy that you can't dismiss
 At the top of the list because the masses insist
 It's a must that I create to elevate from the abyss
 The mind must be nourished so the truth can flourish
 As the rubbish is discourage by the explosional floodage
 Of my verb as I infiltrate your state the least when the energy's released
 You can tell its coming from the east
 So cease with your ranting and your raving
 And all the misbehaving that you claim with your name
 In order to maintain that status on the mic apparatus
 Everybody wants to try to sound the phattest or the baddest
 That's not the case when your standing face to face in the place to be
 With the face to see from inner space, so
 Face the facts and tell truth to the nation
 Mr. Man and that's my representation
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all
 We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all (we run things, things don't run we)
 (we run things, things don't run we) we represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all
 It's like this y'all, It's like that y'all (we run things, things don't run we)
 We represent the hip hop, yeah (so anything we do without fe do properly oh)
 We run things, things don't run we, we run things, things don't run we
 We run things, things don't run we, so anything we do without fe do properly oh
 We run things, things don't run we, we run things, things don't run we
 We run things, things don't run we, so anything we do without fe do properly oh
