lyrics

IT’S THE LOVE
It's the love for hip-hop
It’s love for my people
It's love, knowin’ one another as an equal
Livin’ for the good not the evil
It’s time to step your game up and get up out that ego
(x2)

I feel it's been a minute since my people simply kicked it
Now it's all about the business and the game
I feel something changed, with wicked mind frames
Slick with mind games got em quick to sign names
Then the gifted, switch up their assets to liquid
Pose like it's scripted, my flows is encrypted
Like artifacts, the fakers never spit a harder track
The love, I brought it back through the art of rap
With hip-hop, my mistress, I tune out the frequencies
Cuz all I need is a freak wit me
Do her right, develop into lyrical form
When the word is born, cut off umbilical cords
From the first days of school, keep my style fresh
In the midst of industry pollution take a breath
Now put your hands up and rise wit me,
We keep it real, no mirages, they’re blind to see
Now, forget the clones the robots and the fakers
We **down wit the graf artists, DJ's and breakers
In these strange times
I'm a rhymin’ wit a purpose to change minds
Beneath the surface, we reach for the skies
With deep-rooted underground ties
To put a breach in the lies
Of this matrix, escape ambivalent mazes
And flip the page from the ignorant ways
It’s the love

(Chorus)

Imma do my best to express how I feel right now
An I could give a **** about a deal right now
It's for my people, no caps I gotta peel right now
But heal right now, this **** is real right now
An I ain’t gotta speak the same game, money-women-fame
Or perpetuate the same thing from the ego brain
I feel it's time for a change
And hip-hop go wherever we go, I'm sayin’...
Let me take a moment… To look up to the sky
What my people steady searching for is really up inside
If I'm wrong, than let me stand corrected
I say one love, through hip-hop, we all connected
God protected, an you ain't gotta be religious
Just take a moment look around and tell me, what is this?
The 4 elements together, as one
Now it's time to bring back… What's that?

(Chorus)
