Jun - Hip Hop Is... lyrics

Yo What is hip hop? What does it mean? Where's it come from? Where's it going? I love hip hop, when I walk I ditty-bop New York when I talk, I give my city props At least every 52 weeks my committee drops Yet another bu*ta banger, straight off the hanger All lines are busy, your mind is dizzy My shine is divine, you'll never find a MC Greater, Jun 1 operates the fader In the crates droppin more plates than a clumsy waiter Now this is what hip hop is So pay attention son, cause when I'm done there may be a pop quiz Hip hop is... a DJ cuttin Adjustin pitches, hittin switches and mashin bu*tons Hip hop is... a b-boy struttin On the dancefloor for the hardcore clout and We bumrush the show when the doors start shuttin Hip hop is... when you make somethin out of nothin Like "jigga-boom-bap, to the beat y'all" My name in fly colors on a concrete wall Hip hop is... a style that's wild A ghetto child lookin for a reason to smile Hip hop is the application of street knowledge From modern day situations not learned in college This is real life, real MC's with steel mics A juggle, a constant struggle when you feel strife Hip hop is... a way of hope, a display of dope That started in the Bronx to spread across the globe That's what hip hop is (Check it out Is New York in the house, make some noise!) Hip hop is... "Let me see your hands in the sky" Hip hop is... "Damn, that jam was fly!" Hip hop is... "Clap your hands, stomp your feet" Change the beat, this is what they playin in the streets Hip hop is... when you feel the treble and ba** And your heart starts to race at an incredible pace That's what hip hop is (People in the place) That's hip hop y'all (People in the place) (Say ho-o) (People in the place) (Say awww) (People in the place) (Say ho-o) (People in the place to be) (I'ma lay it on your right now) (Rock and you don't stop) (Rock on) (Rock and you don't stop) (Rock on) (Rock and you don't stop) (Rock on) (Rock and you don't stop) (Rock on) (...mike is gonna say all the rhymes that you like)
