DOPE Lyrics by Locksmith, Neelam

2021

[Verse 1: Neelam]
Uh, studied the arts (Uh)
And followed the path, at least in my thoughts (Yeah)
I was left in the dark (Uh)
Like Tony Starks with all of them parts (Yeah)
Except I made an Ark (Uh)
Like Noah who told us the world would be over
Time to expose all the evil
'Cause I am the voice of the people (Uh)
Somebody must say it (Yeah)
My sound is unique, but stolen by Elvis (Uh)
It never was in him (Yeah)
He came around niggas and had to learn rhythm (Uh)
Yeah, I'm dope (Yeah)
Clear my throat, crеate a new post
Ha, TikTok is a class
Teaching thе world to be Black (Uh)
How do you do it like that? (Yeah)
Move it like that? Make music like that, uh?
How do you say it like that? (Yeah)
Braid it like that? Shake it like that, huh? (Uh)
Watch them study my plays (Yeah)
You must be shocked and amazed (Uh)
I am a brush for the durag
In other words, I am the wave (Uh)
More like the ocean (Uh-huh)
Now drowned by the motion (Stop)
You better watch that talk
You a dog that barks in the water with sharks

[Interlude: KRS-ONE]
Hip-hop is the most influential art form in modern civilization
Why? Because it is directly connected to the greatest crime in modern civilization
American culture? That's our culture
Pop culture? That's our culture
There is no America without us

[Verse 2: Locksmith]
Moses was a Black man, so was Pharaoh, ooh
Gotta free my people on that straight and narrow, ooh
Gotta speak to bushes while that fire is burning through
Moving birds behind bars, that's that Maya Angelou
I don't wanna give this game for free
I don't wanna lease this art for cheap
Kill 'em in twos and flood them with streams
Better pray now this Ark don't leak
No, I don't follow your grievances
While you believe in this, leading astray
Every statue that's prominent, Washington Monument
Came from a region where currently Egypt is
I can define what a demon is
You play along 'cause you wanna get paid
Understand money's not evil, but people is
Willing to do anything for a taste
I used to lay on the edge of the bed
Watching the greats and would trace 'em with lead
Watching the pace of the pen accelerate then
But now I just paint in my head
We did it with jazz, we did it with rock
We did it with B.I.G., we did it with Pac
We did it right after they took all the money from the schools
Created inside of the box
Took away instruments, so we sampled
Said it wouldn't last, the last received ample
Pop recognition, plus I should mention
We are not willing to pass you the mantle
Here's an example, speak from the heart and get canceled
That will effect your financial
We set the trends, we make the waves
Then we get buried inside of a landfill
How are you people so willing to stand still?
We keep it moving with music and the fans will
Recognize real, what we have built
Bet on myself, it ain't even a gamble, yeah
