Trip Lee - Hip Hop lyrics
[Trip Lee - Hip Hop lyrics]
We don't live for hip hop
Hip hop lives for us
Look, For me it's about more
Than spitting silly gritty rhymes
Hitting blocks, or getting shot fifty times
God's about His glory
So I can't be about getting mines
By saying I committed crimes
Just lying to get my shine what a tragedy
That that's become the blueprint
Spitting bout they renegades
Getting weight and move bricks
All trying to make dollars and new cents
What a nuisance they call them true
But I'm call them flu- cause these dudes sick
And they contagious
Each time that they throwing up
Flows that's more than overstuffed with
Motives of them blowing up
Hoping to get dough
Hoping the right doors will open up
They focused on it so
They mouths run like motors bruh
But get a load of us, we flow with focus up
On Jehovah, we soldiers
Hoping that folks will notice us
But with intentions of pointing
Them to great Lord
That's the reason why we make noise
And represent with great joy
Yeah we came to spit
Not for chains and chicks
But for the King of Kings we
Praise His name with this
And it's just one of many ways
Nah we ain't slaves to this
(We don't live hip hop, hip hop lives for us)
Turn on the radio
Man I heard it a million times
They live it up
And fill they cup they feeling fine
They fond of killing
And be chilling with a million dimes
It's crazy can't see
But they think they vision's fine
And if they ain't blind then
I'm crazy and dumb
And they must just got they shades on
Cause they can't see the Son
But He gave us sight, made us light
The change has begun
From a life that's fast we got
To dash like Stacy we done
With spitting bout the norm
Homie yeah we had to switch it
Up The old- We had to give it up to Christ
And started giving up
A life that messed our witness up
The mic- Only for lifting up
Christ who let them pin Him up
Light of the world this is us
Now me and Phish
We be in this and use the music
His beats is sick, and me I spit
We use these tunes to
Give you truth, I spit in booths
I hope you tuned in
Cause this is truth, we living proof
Of Jesus moving
As you listen, i hope that you don't
Think this mission's mine
This joints for Him
I just point to Him and get behind
I hope it's so hot
Your jaw drops and you hit rewind
But the message is reason I'd be
Grieved if you missed a line
Yeah we love hip hop
And we part of the culture
But we ain't just trying to give props
Or get it lots of exposure
All things only exist so they
Give props to Jehovah even this
Don't be behind the times like
Big clocks that slowed up hold up
Homie I ain't just trying to
Make the crowd move i found truth
And now I'm trying to pass
It to the sound dudes around me, around you
And to try to make it sound cool
I keep my ear to the streets like
My face was on the ground too
We keep it loud too
Cause even these music forms
Are only for His name man
Hey that's why we use it for Him
And some cats will hate though they
Can't deny the beat is hot
We OutKast but we still putting
Christ inside your Speakerbox
Hip hop lives for us
Look, For me it's about more
Than spitting silly gritty rhymes
Hitting blocks, or getting shot fifty times
God's about His glory
So I can't be about getting mines
By saying I committed crimes
Just lying to get my shine what a tragedy
That that's become the blueprint
