B.O.B. - Hip -Hop Ain't Dead (The Future) lyrics

[Verse 1] Everyone was saying hip-hop was dead It wasn't dead These n***as just wasn't makin no bread Because the scared to be real so they fakin' instead And when that happens rappin and rappin it's actin' instead But like they say it's just entertainment But it's a game so all this n***as is playin' Even me But what happens when the game changes Your favorite rappers gon have to do some explainin' Somebody turn the channel man this gangsta sh** is boring Nobody believes ya so please record another story Now I'm not sayin' that I'm a save ya But if no one else keep it real then I'm the answer to ya prayers [Hook: B.o.B] Look into the future tell me what you see You a fool if you don't know it by now Pimpin we the future We the future And you a fool if you don't know it by now (x2) [Verse 2] See kids only believe in what the perceive And half of what they believe is what they be seein on the t.v Hints the term monkey see monkey do That's why they got all the kids rockin bathing apes to school Why you think they call 'em bathing apes They think we just a bunch of babies and apes I may be disturbed because I'm disgraced I feel like an alien in outerspace That's why I'm singin' amazing grace to save this race I do not know what it takes to make the dimension that I'm trying to create We all got f**ed we need to be hollering great But like they say it's just entertainment But it's a game so all this n***as is playin' Even me But what happens when the game changes Your favorite rappers gon' have to do some explainin' [Hook: B.o.B] Look into the future tell me what you see You a fool if you don't know it by now Pimpin we the future We the future And you a fool if you don't know it by now (x2)
