What Happened to Hip-Hop? Lyrics by Redd Bull

2013

(Intro)
(hook)
Lets talk about life.. life (repeat)
Lets talk about life.. life (repeat)
(verses)
What it is, What it does/
Live it fast or you'll be talking bout what it was/
When you hear me spit the music, its For the love/
Nowadays most cats, they do it for the bucks/
Remember days i couldn't even afford a lunch/
But somehow I always had some Mary for the lungs/
Had dreams of big stacks and Tommy Guns/
Doing it big like Sincere & Tommy Bunz/
Now who say that the South ain't Hip-Hop/
Grew up Listening to Suave House, Rap-a-lot, No Limit, Oh yeah I can't forget Pac/
Now I spit with a flow that make your A&R jaw & bottom lip drop/
Quick to try to get me to sign a 360/
Shows every weekend, Account still empty/
No sir, my mind think too swiftly/
Never let a stone from the pyramid tempt me/
Walking through the valley of the shadow of death/
Never have no fear cause The Lord shadow my steps/
Never look back to days of cooked crack, I'm way past that/
Honestly you can keep your BMI, & ASCAP/
I do it for the Underground/
I just want to rock a show, Ill let the Mayor run the town/
My thoughts as the homies pass the blunt around/
If you see us, its probably a gun around/
Trying to keep the peace, but all the while got to keep a piece/
Cause you and I know ain't nothing sweet in the streets/
(Hook)
And that's life.. life.. life.. (repeat)
Just talk about life, no hoes, no talking bout ice/
I want to tell these rappers just talk about life/
Who the hell cares, stop talking bout price/
N***** living so wrong, can't even talk about right/
Quick to pick a fight, shooting pistols every night/
Send another young black soul floating to the light/
Quick to throw away their life, with no hesitation/
Welcome to the final generation/
Real life, recreating scenes from PlayStation/
Lil kids mating and procreating before grade 10/
Lets take it back to the basics/
Think we living free but our mind still on the slave ship/
Its time to get my people out the matrix/
Take the keys from the guard and open up the cages/
A pocket full of money, and riding on Daytons/
If that's enough to put each other in the grave then/
You might as well nuke the planet because we can't save it/
But what about the good people and the babies?/
But all the politicians see is hooligans and racists/
We keep thinking like this, we won't make it/
Watch your step on the checkerboard/
One wrong move will have you face to face with The Lord/
And though your family will mourn you/
They don't decide where you're going to/
You better have your soul right with the Most High/
Not perfect but I try harder than most try/
Been through situations so hard it'll make most cry/
I'm burning marijuana while watching the days coast by/
(hook)
I'm burning marijuana while watching the days coast by..
I'm burning marijuana while watching the days coast by..
Just talk about life.. life.. (repeat)
