[Intro]
This is hip hop
But it's not that
Wrist off pop
That kids flock to
That's got ya
Pissed off
It's rock and roll
It's not for show
Chock full of
Lots of soul
And that's not optional
This is hip hop
But it's not that
Wrist off pop
That kids flock to
That's got you
Pissed off
It's rock and roll
It's not for show
Chock full with
Lots of soul
And that's not optional
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the main event
Ladies and gents
It's still the same as it's been
Just to a greater extent
I represent the silver age
And rhyming every day that I've spent
And I'm okay
If it ain't paying my rent
I ain't playing pretend
Exaggerating or embellishing
So maybe put away the shame
I'm strange up on the television
Haters try to say
Imagination is irrelevant
But they have never taken rags
Or made a Cinderella with them
We're better than 'em
Cause we never settle
For second fiddle
Amphetamines
In your set
I bet 'em
A shot of adrenaline
And penicillin
We're meta-gentlemen
But never let 'em
Get up in the
Cerebellum
You'll never see me sitting
Hypnotized
Censored and
Over simplified
Cause I became the captain of
A brand new enterprise
The minute I decided
I didn't need wings to fly
[Purple Haze Sample]
'Scuse me
While I kiss the sky
