Thundamentals - I Hip Hop lyrics

Depending on what I see on offer
Could be your family doctor
A handy man, a boxer
The phantom of the opera
An actor with an Oscar, a robber
Tax and dollars
Yo I could have been that tax man
And had a Mac in office
Went about a pimp, runnin' with some hookers
A Muslim
A Christian or just a humble Buddhist
Coulda been a has-been, fighter or an athlete
A crack fiend hiding in the back streets
Could have been hated, could have been loved
Could have been jaded
I could have been chuffed
I could have gave a cig
Whenever they gave a fuck
I could have made it in for all
The times I didn't make enough
The coordinator that they were waitin' on
Trust playing pokies all day with
Some wages on pucks
I could've lost some, if I had some
But, I did not stop, nah (I hip hop)

"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"I could've been your company's executive
But there be no time for raps
And I can't let that slip"

Yo, judgin' by the way that I flip shit
I could've been a gymnast a dish begger
A hitman that's tickin' off his hit list
A lawyer, a rider, the doorman, the pirate
A scuba dive instructor swimmin'
Off an island
Could've been a bouncer but then
You'd wanna hit me
Could've been a council worker that's
Suckin' on a ciggie
I could've been a nurse or
I could've been a brickie
Why the fuck we go to work
When I could've chucked a sickie
Could've been a journalist
Workin' for the paper
A tailor or maybe a personal trainer
A caretaker, a bank man in the city
A surgeon
Making money from enhancing your titties
Could've ran the committee of a TV show
I could've made a killing as a CEO
I could've been anything I wanted to be
But all I wanted to be was me (the MC)

"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
