[Hook]
Will somebody tell 'em Hip-Hop is back
RIP, kill the whack-ness crowding my radio
and give a round of applause for
Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, (it's still bigger than)
Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, (it's still still bigger than)
Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, (it's still bigger than)
Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, Hip Hop, (it's still still bigger than)

[Verse 1]
As a shorty I would stare, but I couldn't afford em/ but look at me now... I guess you really don't need Jordans/ and I still don't own a pair... won't stop me from soarin/ I stay fly, I'm so fly, I lead a flock every morning/ but you only as fly as your wings/ so the only guys that I bring/ are usually Messiahs and Kings/ I only run with bosses who don't take a day off/ different parts of the shirt but we from the same cloth/ you da chest, I'm da sleeve/ you da best, I'm a beast/ Myrtle x Joseph what an excellent weave/ so if you claim to be my dog then it's best that you leave/ if you ain't really my dog, that's my only pet peeve/ no time for fake ones/ they not gon give you the shot, you gotta learn to make one/ can't win if you don't take one/ never had my hand out/ always had to stand out/ I guess I'm not surprised at the way my life has panned out/

[Verse 2]
If I ruled the world... Imagine that/ I'd resurrect Shaq n Penny bring the magic back/ my dad would have a lifetime supply of Cadillacs/ I'd bring back Bernie Mac, I need it for my cataracts/ number 1 records would consist of battle raps/ most of these rappers out here is patty wack/ shorties in 3rd world wont hear the ratatat/ and everyone I meet in this world would have my back/ everyones last name would be World Peace/ no one else would starve, we'd all eat for weeks/ more conscious of the way we raise out daughters/ and everyone would memorize Midnight Marauders/

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I come correctly/ if Trayvon was a Becky/ and Becky was a Trek-y/ she'd have a statue already/ if George was Jamaal/ and Jamaal had it all/ you think he woulda walked? naw, he probably couldn't crawl at all/ forget the pigs, I think the pigs killed Big n Pac too/ if they didn't, they know who did they got to/ who they serve and protect, not you/ racism still alive, act like its not true/ thank you for that line, thank you for the Train of Thought/ all the metaphors, all the things it taught/ all the common sense, how it came apart/ doesn't matter now, I repair the heart
