We do not (under no circumstances) live for Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop)

It lives for us

we don't live for Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop), it lives for us (repeat 3x)



It's the eternalist, y'all burn to this, blaze da dro'

Soul rebels trap up, we got a long way to go

Before this here blow like a volcano

we get eternal, this is what you waitin' for,

you try to front and play the role

When you more like a pimp who pay the ho

With my name up in your mouth like fellatio

I lace the flow on purpose even up the ratio

Of Hip-Hop to that shit they drop on the radio

Underground classics is what they used to say before

Now we break the surface quiet like an alligator nose

They hate it, cuz they know if they don't get it, then they may be slow

We still gonna blow like the horn played by Horatio

The stakes is three feet high and risin' like De La Soul

So I got Wonder Why, my man Dave and Maseo

We all got babies so we embrace the taste of dough

But y'all already know so I ain't gotta say no mo'



(Chorus, Maseo)



De La is whatcha need, Reflection is whatcha need

We got the masters of the ceremonies,

blessin' emcees lip professin' emcees

From LI to Brooklyn to Cinncinnati, Hi-Tek and Kweli got this on lock D

Let me hear you scream out loud if you're somebody

Party to party, body to body,

when we come into the jam we do it wildstyle



(Posdnous)

Yo! I'm homegrown for the bain, once I rock the mic plain

It's the extravaganza we glad you came,

made only for them heads, it's infra-red Aim

For such a world figure, we got figures to gain

(don't sleep on a nigga)

I ain't Icabod Crane get that ass cooked hard cuz we raw like Kane

Been known to mic spit, infinite per
