Sketcho - Hip hop lyrics

[Verse One: B-Baz] I spit that, Black Thought, Mos Def, and Kanye That Lupe Fiasco, Common, and Wale Talib Kweli for thought and Em for the worplay 2Pac for the depth and BIG for the stories The words, the messages are different today Back then they were for fun, the drinks and parties But now hip hop is a legitimate way So now it's time for us to go back to MCs The power in the pen is the power of the scholar But the power of the pen mimics the power of the dollar If dollars equal power, and the scholars come from dollars But the broke can be scholars, please tell me, who has the power? The children growing up, bubble baths instead of showers Or the students coming up getting knowledge every hour? All I know is, this world is not meant for cowards So now I'll show my power, so crank this music louder [Hook: B-Baz] When I say, “hip”, you say “hop” Hip (Hop) Hip (Hop) And when I say “disc”, you say “jockey” Disc (Jockey) Disc (Jockey) When I say “more”, you say “power” More (Power) More (Power) And when I say “no”, you say “cowards” No (Cowards) No (Cowards) [Bridge: B-Baz] Are you ready, hip hop? (I don't really think so) Are you ready, hip hop? (Baz, they don't wanna know) Are you ready, hip hop? (They don't want you to flow) Are you ready, hip hop? (But you should hit ‘em with some mo') [Verse Two: B-Baz] Okay, can I get a mic check? Got this crowd going wild, but ya boy ain't even hype yet Got these girls going wild, no pipe yet 21 years, I ain't even live life yet No boo, no love, no wife yet Couple battle scars, but no wars, no strife yet But I digress, I ain't start to write yet Back in my bag, I ain't challenge your minds yet A n***a call a n***a “n***a”, and don't think But white boy sings lyrics with “n***a”, and everybody blink n***a get mad, eyes cold, ice in the rink Why can't the boy sing “redneck”, or “chink”? We set examples of the way we wanna be percieved And when the bad comes, we don't wanna believe Say we don't care, but we give ‘em so much power So time to show your power, so crank this music louder [Hook] When I say, “hip”, you say “hop” Hip (Hop) Hip (Hop) And when I say “disc”, you say “jockey” Disc (Jockey) Disc (Jockey) When I say “more”, you say “power” More (Power) More (Power) And when I say “no”, you say “cowards” No (Cowards) No (Cowards) [Bridge] Are you ready, hip hop? (I don't really think so) Are you ready, hip hop? (Baz, they don't wanna know) Are you ready, hip hop? (They don't want you to flow) Are you ready, hip hop? (But you should hit ‘em with some mo')
