TACK-FU - Hip-Hop Is Here To Stay lyrics
rate meYo give em the mix; in ninety-seven I'm fixin
to show what I got and that's a lot just kickin it
smooth like, despite the hype I'm still survivin
Takin the good with the bad from the hood with the mad
skills providin true flavor plus I'm scribin
all day all night, it's not easy bein Ike
Hypnotizing, you can't explain it but you follow
the tone of my voice as I pull you swallow
the maximum, niggaz take some, suckers are stung
when reality hit, plus they ain't gettin shit
Where you from? Confused and stick to seein when you cruise
and lean to the side turn it up and recognize
the street wise, keepin it live forever hustlin
Earnin my fetti gettin over cause I'm super-jetty
Steady, bouncin never petty announcin
the F-U-N-K, hip-hop is here to stay
Hip-Hop is here to stay [x4]
Break it down... hip-hop can never be faded G yaknowhatI'msayin?
Hip-Hop is one of those, arts you can never destroy
Genuine smooth is my everday life, bein
all I can be, but it's hard to please me
Hold on tight, cause suckers are slippin and can't get up
Can't get a job I know that feelin is fucked up
out of luck, and goin nuts tryin to figure
the other man, but what about yo' plan my nigga?
I'm here to deliver brotherman with the brand
smack new, smackin you and that's you know who
Comin through, feets suckers still can't see
my laid back styles, but it's all about reality
from now on, so let the real kick original
flavor don't come free yo you gotta take it slow
Earn your props, learn a trade and get paid and stop
bitin my dick quick that's not the fuckin ticket it's kinda sick
I don't know, it just happens
when I'm kickin the fact, suckers be stabbin me in the back
International, gettin busy for mine
You know the time, my styles be genuine
You know what I'm sayin? You can't fade a art like this
My styles be genuine
I don't need no star status to rock this mic apparatus
with these butter rhymes, now you tell me who's the fattest
Kids askin where is verbal stankin total rankin mind historian
You can see me, or Kervorkian
Either way, I can stop the brain torturin
FIgure me out, yo, that's to be continued
Cause you ain't got a clue I represent a chosen few
from B.C. to A.D., kings to shady
Will my switches be heard? Maybe, ask Jay-Z
Is it me and Cypress daily, causin hip-hop sex?
And got a secret code, masters speakin dialects
They ask me why I'm still underground now what the heck
Fourteen years old don't blowin up
I get up on the micrphone, now I'm throwin up
MC's tryin to figure me out, on this freestyle tip
You know, how I flip the hip, to the hop, to the
hibby to the hop, check it out y'all
Hip-hop's here to stay yo, it's goin nowhere
Yo I rip on the mic, yo it's truth or dare
Check it out, hip-hop yo it's hip-hop baby
Hip-hop here's to stay, it's here's to stay
Check it out one time we got the rhyme all day
To the two zero zero, zig to zig zero
The two zig zig zig zig ziggy ziggy zero yo
Don't run with me, or to cross spiritual
This come virile though cause I get a sip and now I'm hypocritical
Yo, I know where you can go
Ask the Grim Reap he'll know, cause he's really dope
folks is pitiful, ever since they quit knowin really cold
Got professional, climb over obstacles I stand on the top
of hills of dough, yo it's nice how can I make
They wanna stop me yo I'm thinkin digits also take it
Jealousy gonna's step and that bothers me, knowin
in hindsight now I have to see
Who was checkin for me, cameras they watchin me
And my crew checkin me out, yo now under my seat
Yo collect all the chips I flips the cards twice
Stay close to my ace for the espionage types
You know the ones with the crew for the funds
Totin all the guns, stick you for your sums..
Yo, hip-hop here's to stay yo, yo
Hip-hop, is here to stay, yo
It's here to stay y'all, it's here to stay y'all
to the two-zero-zero-zero it's here to stay y'all
It's like that with the track, me and me in Tack
Fu and we do it to your mind in your mind for your mind
I got my man Rob on the line on the engineerin tip
you know how we do, it's like that yo
Check it out one time
We comin out, we comin we comin we comin it's like this y'all
It's like that y'all, I bust this freestyle that's like that y'all
And I'm out
