Key-Kool - Can U Hear It? lyrics

Well so many people listen to rap nowadays But so many people don't even know what the raps are saying You say, oh man, this track is fat but when I ask What do you think about my raps your reply is (huh? what?) Cause all you hear is bluh bluh, bluh bluh bluh, bluh bluh You don't check the lyrical flows, you don't check the lyrical content For all you care I could just be flowing nonsense Over the beats cause they move you You wanna groove but you don't even know what you're grooving to Waving your hands back and forth, shouting the hook lines But never really understanding my rhymes Oblivious, even though I'm giving you this Definition of how you shouldn't be missing this Don't act like you know when you don't know the lyrics So tell me one thing, can you hear it? HOOK x 2: Can you hear it? (huh?) Can you hear it? (what?) Can you hear it? (huh?) Can you hear it? (what?) Can you hear it? (huh?) Can you hear it? (what?) And if you can't hear it say (huh? what?) Well so many s**ers out there are too quick to diss Cause everything they hear an automatic diss Diss this diss that what's up with that Why does everything you hear got to be wack, yup How'd you like that rap (it's wack) How'd you like that track (it's wack) Well how about the scratch (wack wack wack) You're calling me junk, before you even listen Does it make you feel good cause you're dissin You don't feel good bout yourself so you're puttin other people down But you can't relate to the state of mind I'm in You gotta begin to realize that You gotta an*lyze before you criticize So pour yourself a bowl of new material like cereal Take a big spoonful and savor the flavor And just digest and manifest what the group's about And if you chuck, hock pooh! then spit it out So unlock your brain til you have that spirit Well tell me now yo, can you hear it? HOOK x 2 So many people try to claim that rap is not music They say we take the notes and the chords and abuse it They always talking trash, dissin on a mission Just because we don't fit in the musical definition But we're constantly creating, putting beats together Thinking up more ways to make the music sound more clever Evolving and evolving every thing that we can think of And we're rising yes we're rising yes we're rising up above The limits and the walls where they said we would fall But now in the 90's, hiphop is standing tall But we gotta keep progressing, encourage innovation Strive for unity within the hiphop nation So play it loud and proud, you need to turn it up Or if you're in your ride, let it bump in your trunk And if you get a ticket, so what, you can clear it So if you see the man, say what up, can you hear it?
