Negro Spiritual

Hiphop is that negro spiritual
Hiphop is that negro spiritual
I'm getting lyrical
This music got me actin biblical
Like a smooth criminal
Hiphop is my negro spiritual

Hiphop is that negro spiritual
Hiphop is that negro spiritual
I'm getting lyrical
This music got me actin biblical
Like a smooth criminal
Hiphop is my negro spiritual

I study the greats both at mountain top and death's valley
I hope they all make it out alive so they can feed they family
Get your money king but
Please forget those Grammys
I'm looking for a rose out the concrete but all i see is dandy
Lions daddies lying
Ladies crying
Mothers trying
And black brother dying

And why are black women always expected to be brave
The same black woman that had your favorite rappers raised
The black woman who balance there joy with there pain
Black women who are wrongly portrayed
I wish we all protected Toyin before it was too late
I still think about her to this very day
Hitting up my sisters phone like
Hey big sis is you straight
Hiphop took us from the slums to a jet plane
Took us from acting dumb
To in club yelling make it rain
Made us feel Mary J sing about her window pain
Had trey having all girls and neighbors both know his name

We all watched Jada and the Lox take the versus stage
Facin' Dipset monumental
That joint was insane
Tyler got interviewed in new York
That very next day
On hot 97
If you know ray
Then you know i felt a way
They actually had a lot of great stuff to say
Like hey Tyler
You next up
They gave him a lot praise
Tho our views deep down on the topic
Both felt the same
The difference was they called him to his face
A student of the game

Hiphop is for real niggas
Its not for play play
Niggas be in Paris
Yo that's what Ye would say
The niggas tuned in all over
Just to see him and Drake
They stopped the world for all the kids
Made us all celebrate the hits
Hiphop got me beat boxing like I'm Biz
Producing like I'm Swizz
Wu tang like I'm ODB & I'm Riz
Jay z cuz im not a business man
I am a whole business-man
If i was a black boy band i would be
Boys to Man
I remember who let the dogs out
Like Bahaman
I remember DMX Woodstock
Draws out
Screaming Ah Ha amen
Ah Ha men

Mj, Prince and James Brown
I call that hi hop music
Nikki, Biggie, Mo-town
I call that hiphop music
Whitney, Makaveli, Chris Brown
I call that hip hop music
Aretha, KRS and Sam
I call that hiphop music

Mj, Prince and James Brown
I call that hi hop music
Nikki, Biggie, Mo-town
I call that hiphop music
Whitney, Makaveli, Chris Brown
I call that hip hop music
Aretha, KRS and Sam
I call that hiphop music
