[Intro]
Yo, Yo
Yo Nemz you k**ed this sh**
[Hook]
Raise the roof and turn up, we ain't afraid to burn up
Or burn out, ‘cause we young and wilding out
Never growing old, Hip Hop from the soul is what we about
(Uh)
[Hook]
Raise the roof and turn up, we ain't afraid to burn up
Or burn out, ‘cause we young and wilding out
Never growing old, Hip Hop from the soul is what we about
[Verse 1]
The core at the art of rap is to give people bars
Never chose this path just to become a star (nah)
Yet I'm a legend in the making and I'll take this very far
(You already know)
Look Into my eyes ‘cause I see the future
Practicing Kama Sutra maneuvers with a diva in a palace Sipping wine from a chalice
Young with the mind of a wise king
So it might surprise you but it won't surprise me
That one day you'll find me on Forbes top five (work)
Altering Hip-Hop's climate (yea)
The higher ups will fear this
‘Cause they cannot get near my (no way), level of aptitude
I am the lyrical apex, pinnacle, and the magnitude (yea)
Shoulda never gave me latitude (nah) to do what I wanna' do
Inconsolable and uncontrollable , let's make it do what it do
[Hook]
Raise the roof and turn up, we ain't afraid to burn up
Or burn out, ‘cause we young and wilding out
Never growing old, Hip Hop from the soul is what we about
(Uh)
[Hook]
Raise the roof and turn up, we ain't afraid to burn up
Or burn out, ‘cause we young and wilding out
Never growing old, Hip Hop from the soul is what we about
[Verse 2]
I know the light is bright but keep on watching me
I'm stolen property, kickin' the flavor to society
Word to KRS-One (thank you)
Our culture is an art form that could help you deal with depression
Learn a new lesson
Or give you the ability to go toe to toe with the powers that be
As for me, my voice and vocabulary is my, weapon of choice
I've been blessed with a gift to control thoughts that once Drifted aimlessly
And I believe I'm a genius, so
When I die make my mind public property
Let the world examine me, to see
A prodigy who never gave an apology for being me (never that)
When I die make my mind public property
Let the world examine me, to see
A prodigy who never gave an apology for being me
[Hook]
Raise the roof and turn up, we ain't afraid to burn up
Or burn out, ‘cause we young and wilding out
Never growing old, Hip Hop from the soul is what we about
(Uh)
[Hook]
Raise the roof and turn up, we ain't afraid to burn up
Or burn out, ‘cause we young and wilding out
Never growing old, Hip Hop from the soul is what we about
