Tha Alkaholiks - 2014 lyrics

rate me

[sample: "Back in the days I knew rap would never die" KRS One]

[Verse One: J-Ro]

The year is 2004, people talk about war

I had to hit the floor when the bombs began to pour

Ten minutes ago I was mad cause my stomach was grumbling

Now the whole world is crumbling

I hear people scream across the street gettin crushed

This went on for twenty minutes then the whole world hushed

I couldn't see shit but I could feel myself breathin

Damn I'm still kickin but I'm just not believin

I give thanks to God then I'm off on my mission

Ain't no stars in the sky so it ain't no wishin

I wonder, I wonder, I just can't under-stand

Why, am I the last man?

[Verse Two:]

These crazy thoughts in my head won't stop

Where's my moms and my pops and what about hip-hop

I'm pickin up things that could be of use to me

Too build a makeshift crib where Hollywood used to be

And it ain't no forties, it ain't no blunts

I ain't had no ass in five years and eight months

Five more years pass, and I still survive

And I'm through with wonderin who's still alive

Until one day I'm just walkin along

And I hear this kid singin a hip-hop song

He said, "That's the way it is, and it's like that"

I said, "Yo kid c'mere, where you learn that song at?"

He said, "My daddy taught me about the hip-hop game

I'm eight years old and Rakim is my name"

He said, "Yo I'll take you to him, come follow me;

but first you gotta prove that you can MC"

So I cleared my throat got in a b-boy stance

and I ran through a rhyme that made him piss in his pants

With tears in his eyes, he grabbed me by the hand

And then we ran, ten miles across the sand

He took me to the spot, dig deep underground

Where I can hear the sound of the big bass pound

I wasn't really sure, but I swore we smelled blunt smoke

No joke loc, well can I get a toke?

He took me to his pops and he handed me a spliff

And out behind the wall came Tash and E-Swift

They took me to a freestle session it was on

I knew hip-hop would never be gone

FIve hundred hip-hop deep

Yo we cool in 2014, Alkaholiks still rulin

[Outro:]

It's gonna live forever
