Guru - For Da Love lyrics

"Hip-hop" [Verse 1 - Guru] Yeah (Big EZ) we doin' this for da love (Gifted Universal) Layin in the cut doin this for da love "Hip-hop" Bout to blow this sh** out the frame We do it for the love "..what hip hop's supposed to sound like" As nights turn to days, days go back to nights, we be seekin' the light And keeping it tight up in the street life I meet life, head on, no holds barred Born with a hearts of gold, now mostly cold and scarred But f** that, n***a, there ain't no time to dwell on The mystics and obstacles that ya fell on It's time to add on and put some flesh upon the skeleton Nobody wins when we all lose Acceptin the straps this year me and my n***as are refused We all choose instead to go all out Till the radiation until the nuclear fall out, and Even then rhymes are like protective suits Only worn by the members of our selected troop What's the scoop n***a? We know this rap sh** makes money But whether I come through dift or whether I come through bummy I spit razor type rhymes off my dome son lovely [Scratched and cut by DJ Premier][4X] "Hip-hop" "Showing all these corny motherf**ers What hip hop is supposed to sound like" - A.G. - The Next Level [Verse 2 - EZD] Livin catastrophic me and Guru, cop it This how we drop it I feel good about this topic Illegal eagle you're the parrot pull ya card like a Tarot I name brand your generic What goes up must come down, the law of physics You dine with a snake get ate by the lizzard Mad gifted mad lifted See me Guru beef don't risk it I'm with it D & D style buck a** wild, poppin' shot all I keep the hard sh** to rock on Y'all funny cats who y'all?
