Music: DJ Rebizzle for Re Beatz Productionz
Yeah yeah
One Two One Two
What Up Yooo
It's your man Reborn tha Rebizzle
You know what I'm saying
Coming through with my man
Q The Prophet on the track
You know what I'm saying
We're some lyrical Apostles
You know what I mean
Addressing the current state of Hip Hop
And where it came from
Addressing the world
You nah mean
Where you at Q
Ah ha
Check it check it check it
Uh Yo
What happened to the real Hip Hop
Scratches from the disc jock
Remember spitting some real lyrics
That'll wreck shop
It was all about skill and creativity
We were built for longevity
But now it's became like a forgotten city
Hip Hop was removed from the
Ancient landmarks
Where we sparked in the parks
It was never about the
So-called top ten charts
Remember the block parties
In 85 and 86
When the DJ'S played good music
And it was crazy sick
It was loud and booming
And we was all jamming
From Rakim to BDP, MC Shane
And crowds would form a Cyphers
While cats were break dancing
Windmills, back spins and flips
And it was slamming
It was all love without any strife
And a beef went down
They would break dance without a fight
We had poetic MC's
That were story tellers
They would teach about life
To us hood dwellers
Even though they had money
But they would never brag
About the stash of cash
Nor would settle for a cheap swag
Cause they know they represented
For the people
We support them financially
To war against the evil
Hip Hop had a voice
But now it's in silence mode
It's been infiltrated by the evil
Through the violence roll
It's exploited by the wicked for business
They don't care and the music
I witnessed on how they rather abuse it.
So, Yo
We used the Hip Hop
To bring for the Gospel
It sounds hostile
But that's how we drop jewels
We can speak your language
But we're Lyrical Apostle
If not so
We're still here just to rock souls
We used the Hip Hop
To bring for the Gospel
It sounds hostile
But that's how we drop jewels
We can speak your language
But we're Lyrical Apostle
If not so
We're still here just to rock souls
Q The Prophet's verse
I remember back in the dayz
When LL was rockin bells
No cats were cocking shells
Or beef over record sells
It was all about the love back then
When Rakim made us Microphone Phenes
Earlier way back when
Before Tim's baggy jeans
Loose fitted and white Tee's
It was sweatshirts and brooded gazelles
With tight Lee's
Pumas with phat laces
In Adidas in shell tops
Block parties you would hear
From more than 12 blocks
The Golder era
When MC'ing was all fresh and clever
B Boys, B Girls all stuck together
Remember Run DMC
Was all tougher than leather
UTF, Roxanne Roxanne
Was so pleasure
That's back in the dayz
When the styles were original
Respected individuals
Wasn't targeted as criminals
Yo, we're passing the torch
But y'all are just fumbling
We gave y'all the blueprint
Y'all just mumbling
Reborn's 2 verse.
We're bringing the gap
While we're spitting this rap
From the old school
To the new school with cultural facts
So, Hold it like that
While we keep our raps intact
To the integrity of this game
We're making an impact
So, check it
The way we set it and wreck it
Resurrect this game that's been deaden
Spit life to the culture
From Christ perspective
We're called just to be lyrical Apostles
And go against the grain
That is always hostile
We used the Hip Hop
To bring for the Gospel
It sounds hostile
But that's how we drop jewels
We can speak your language
But we're Lyrical Apostle
If not so
We're still here just to rock souls
We used the Hip Hop
To bring for the Gospel
It sounds hostile
But that's how we drop jewels
We can speak your language
But we're Lyrical Apostle
If not so
We're still here just to rock souls
Bridge Scratches
We used the Hip Hop
To bring for the Gospel
It sounds hostile
But that's how we drop jewels
We can speak your language
But we're Lyrical Apostle
If not so
We're still here just to rock souls
We used the Hip Hop
To bring for the Gospel
It sounds hostile
But that's how we drop jewels
We can speak your language
But we're Lyrical Apostle
If not so
We're still here just to rock souls
