[Intro]
[Carter Deems]
Two different worlds, we're here for the same reason
That's the hip hop, hip-the-hip hop
[Esean]
Two different worlds, we're here for the same reason
That's the hip hop, hip-the-hip hop
[Verse 1] Esean
I put my life on the line just to be an MC
They count a lot of false profits, got the Kia's I see
It's got em' living in a lie, in a titian T.V
The saddest thing in life is dying and not knowing the truth
Got the kids jumpin' around, like Kris Kross, playa
I was too young to sling crack or be a B-ball player
Infatuated with the rhymes, Scarface losing his mind
[?] needle free ‘cause life too short
Big wheel, Jesse James, I'm wishing the summer time
Back it up some more, get into new edition
Mr. Telephone man got me praying and wishing
Old school gave me game now I'm giving it back
I put my soul on the track, disco breathe when I flat line
A chance I gotta go before I see you again
Hold hip hop to your heart, like it's a part of your skin
Until the end I'll be checking my flesh my friend
(My flesh)

[Verse 2] Carter Deems
I've turned my back, face it
Now back to the basics
Batman backpack, a waffle bottom ASIC
Bugle boy straight legs, stray on the first day of third grade
Patiently pacing the pavement
Parking lot, waiting
Hanging, debating
Who the best ranger. I would wrestle, I was chasing
For the day at least we were facing the geese
That dreed to the beating with the rocks we were heaving
Some lefty let one slip, left it out to the left side
Letting one fly dead right to a headlight
Head right, took fight, everybody scattering
Then I beat to go face, it really didn't matter
When the car dipped an angle and I slipped on my ankle
Flops on that pile of rocks we were just slinging
Then this better way banging back in the day
A car side car ride brought me back to today
[Hook] x2

Two different worlds, we're here for the same reason
That's the hip hop, hip-the-hip hop
Hip hop, hip-the-hip hop (repeated)
