Track: Lauryn Hill: Light My Fire
Mood: Anti
Hip Hop...
Beat box some hip hop back in my heartbeat
And gimme the rhythm so I can tap my feet.
Freestyle some freedom back in my mind,
Cause I can take these tired lyrics time after time.
Graffiti the word "LOVE" all over me,
So I can remember how I feel about thee.
These days I don't know what's going on,
But the hip hop I used to know seems so far gone.
I don't think you realize how much you mean to me.
Now you're just a vacant shell of what you used to be.
I wanna lace up my Adidas again and tip my Kangol,
And rock steady to the beat so hard it vibrates my soul.
I wanna break dance battle. I don't wanna lean and rock,
I wanna two step with my lady, she don't wanna pop, lock, and drop.
Music's met a foe called capitalism and conformity.
We need a hip hop hero with a sick flow over a dope beat.
Once upon a time music's all that seemed to matter.
Now I'm desperately seeking my happily ever after.
When you say something worthy of being placed in a song,
Then and only then will I put my headphones back on.
