Is She Long Gone

Im gonna leave a few blank spots in here
Whats up yall
Whatcha got to say
Who's on the phone
With Ed Lisa and Dre
Hey they call me the seaScribe
My foes get deep fried
I keep a clean shave
But I don't keep my sneaks tied
Well that sounds cool
And that may be
But where you coming from huh
What city
Im about fifteen to twenty five
Minutes from Seaside
A child of DJ Red Alert's
Five O Clock Free Ride

I had to have that all prepared
If hot nine put me on the line
Live on air
But it never happened so
I had to come and do my own
Reenactment oh
Back Ill go
Roll call turned up
Before I got into home room
Before these flows came
With a name you'd know soon
Kids in my neighborhood
Would all play manhunt
I'm like i got a test
I cant flunk
Really tryna get the
Ed Lover dance down
I cant front
Im an exception to the expression
That white men cant jump
Blame it on the flight sign
I was on the ball court
Knew I wouldn't fall short
Knowing Kurtis Blow
And Heavy D
Sprite rhymes
Jersey Shore boardwalks
Where I was at night time
Looking for a cutie
Too hot to handle
If not watched
Video Music Box
With Uncle Ralph McDaniels

Hip Hop and I
We got a strong bond
That's not Hip Hop now
That's Real HipHop how
It' s got me like wow
They got it all wrong
Will Hip Hop be back
Or is she long gone
Hip Hop
Something that I really love
Hip Hop
Something that I really love

I couldn't get enough
Booms and Baps
Used to love watching
Yo MTV Raps
I wish those shows
Hadn't got cancelled
Thought one day
Id be a featured guest
At Columbia U
With Bobbito N Stretch
Wish they never left
Yes i miss
Future Flavaz
What I kept on cassettes
In my early stages
I'm a Jersey native
Fan of Queen and Treach
Reggie Noble
Lords of the Underground
Indeed you bet
Hold up wait a sec
Let me turn some pages
There's times I still trace
Back to big bro
Raising Hell
With a License To Ill tape
Before Houston ever
Had a problem with Ed Harris
My middle brother Jared
Had me on Eric and Parrish
Now he's well established
With three beautiful babies
My nieces and nephew
Are too cute its crazy

Hip Hop and I
We got a strong bond
That's not Hip Hop now
That's Real HipHop how
It' s got me like wow
They got it all wrong
Will Hip Hop be back
Or is she long gone
Hip Hop
Something that I really love
Hip Hop
Something that I really love

They're like
What the hell happened Sho
It's just rappers now
Couldn't put their
Best foot forward
With a fractured toe
As if studying Herc
Is too hard for them
They don't even know who
Fathered the art form
I'm not sorry if I had to
Hip Hop a kid
I don't know it all
But I know who
Bambaataa is
I never heard
Marley N Magic on BLS
Or Red N Chuck on the mix but
I'm still searching
Heat seeking
Cuz I need it in my
Tape deck
I got to learn a lot about it
From the Blastmaster
Rappers now
They don't even
Stay longer
They just crash faster
While the true MC
Gets to laugh after
And crack a smile
If Funk Flex
Never told me bout
The older guys
I wouldn't have
Known a guy
Known as
Casanova Fly
I was born when
Kool Moe hurt
Busy's rep
Six rapping
How you like me now
And wild wild
Wild wild
Wild Wild
Wild Wild
West yes

Hip Hop and I
We got a strong bond
That's not Hip Hop now
That's Real HipHop how
It' s got me like wow
They got it all wrong
Will Hip Hop be back
Or is she long gone
Hip Hop
Something that I really love
Hip Hop
Something that I really love

No how
No shot
What they thought
They could hold whom
If majors wanna put
Hip hop in its own tomb
Then that'll
Turn their
Current acts
Into plentiful meals
As tender as veil
With irrelevant deals
And force something
Monumental
Back into
The forefront
Like Pete Rock
Tek and General Steele
Hip Hop's an authentic
Genuine feel
That's how your hearing me and
Getting the spiel
I had to research the Juice Crew
Grew up on Guru
I remember grade school
Walking down to Soundwaves
Saving my milk money
So I could buy Enta da Stage
As well as 36 chambers
No you tube
Nothing like Bootcamp
Nothing like the Wu too
Couldn't turn them off
Until i figured out who's who
Native Tongues Zulu
So many legendary crews who
Saturated me with originality
In nine one
Nine two and nine three
So many more legends
To mention in the next song
So I believe if her spirit's living
She's never gone
Come on
Say it with me man
She's never gone
Which is something
Which is something
That I really what huh
Something that i really love
