Royce da 5'9" - Hip Hop lyrics

I know my streets, I know my sound
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
Nigga it's hip hop

Yeah, yeah
We started from nothing a couple MCs
Beat-boxin', the crowd in the lunch room
Me and Preem, both names go together
Like they ain't supposed to
Be separate like D&D
I said it before, I rep in records beats
At the HeadQCourterz, rest in peace
Nigga I'mma hold the shotty
And knock you out
And I ain't gotta know karate like Afu-Ra
It's hip hop, strong or not
This is rap basketball, stats all you got
Long as you hot, and your flow can hold up
To knowing that all of your
Short goals is long shots!
Ninety percent of you niggas ain't hard
Here just to get a rep, you not Gang Starrs
The finest flow will amaze
Rap without me is The Source
Minus the quotable page

Hip hop is everything around you
No competition back to the voice of today
It's real in the field
What's realer than hip hop?
I know my streets, I know my sound
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
Nigga it's hip hop

Rhythmically come on with it, I'm long-winded
I will diss you from long distances
You will not get the chance like Choppa
Ness and Dylan to disrespect
Who you don't listen to
Egg in the skillet brain, nigga, this is you
Smarten up, every person in the Earth
Be hardened up but the only target is us
It's hip hop, cars and trucks
I be dreaming about shit like
Having a hard time swinging
On a nigga or squeezing a trigger or falling
If I land I won't wake up
My six shot model, ya crew
I'm leavin' ya momma faces blue
Like a Hpnotiq bottle
They feel you the realer you spit
This killer shit is hearin' us
Healin' you if you ill or you sick mentally
It's

Hip hop is everything around you
Gotta be something for me to write this
Back to the voice of today no talent rappers
What's realer than hip hop?
I know my streets, I know my sound
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
Nigga it's hip hop!

More venom, 5’9" is like a G5
Illest lyrics is stored in him
Chorus is killing, any warrior feeling
That I ain't God - Lord willing
Trust me after I crush ya building
You will just hush
You won't restore the village
We look toward with killing, real
Though this album is mor-bidly
Feeling it's still
Hip hop! Fuck your feelings
More rappers dying, much more killing
It's no feeling realer than gambling ya life
Everyday, and waking up to more dealings
Fourteen killings compared to
Offshore millions
Equals I got a lot more villains
You know that you easily lose
You be on MTV News
For the first time, because you died over

Hip hop is everything around you
Come alive y'all back to the voice of today
It's all in the game
What's realer than hip hop?
I know my streets, I know my sound
Y'all know my beats, how I get down
I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
Nigga it's hip hop!
