Rap is Not Dead
the streets are now empty the clubs are shut down
not a sound until...
in the morning there will be sun a chance to have a lot of fun
old school to new school that how we rule
work hard to bring home the family jewel
break dancing was the thing of the past
today we got Acon & Fetty Wapp
those homeboy's do think a lot
but in the streets people are getting busy
smoking fat blunts & get pretty dizzy
we got to bounce to the ounce its the hour of power
don't sweat that Whoomp there it is girl just take a cold shower
we got lines being drawn in the sand when will we ever live to understand
it started with Grandmaster Flash with Mellie Mel & the Furious five
thank you Jesus that i'm still alive
got suckers that want to end me and bust up the economy
have we any dignity
gone are the days I used wake of in a haze
today were just a mouse stuck in its maze so be brave & act your age
Rap isn't dead i don't know what is going on in your head
you want a face full of lead
these are desperate times yet we settle for ill but faded rhymes
for a stated cause that's atrocious there's burning rubber in the road
sides are being drawn with heads in the street no meet and greet
so stand alive young G your going to make sweet history
for rap is where its at in my big mac attack
will take you to the limit one more time
Rap isn't dead as much is this rhyme
