what hip hop means to me - dj kross lyrics
verse 1: chaotic lynk
check 1, 2, 1, 2, haha yeah, let’s slow this down, uh
gimme a hi hat bass drum loop and all that
pass over the microphone and i’ma take it back
to the true era referred to as the golden
before it was corporate and all this money folded
a time when uses somethin with the mic using rhyme
diversity and creativity was at its prime
yeah, it was authentic and real back then
yeah before it was a trend we were organic with the blend man
and i don’t know jas maybe it’s just me
now i could care less about my mtv
uh, i’d rather take it back to the block
reminisce with my old school crew while they drop it like it’s hot
cuz nowadays this hip hop flow over techno
reminds me of the fiends dancing to caffeine
and i’ma stay true to the roots
show tops, and fat lace hoodies and timbaland boots
hook: chaotic lynk & jas mace
break dancin, mcing, djing all three
yeah, yeah, that’s what hip hop means to me
buckets hats, lee jeans, fat laces, run dmc
yeah that’s what hip hop means to me
conscious with the message always tryna set your mind free
word that’s what hip hop means to me
good times, tight rhymes, chillin in the place to be
and that’s what hip hop means to me
verse 2: jas mace
yeah it is cl, i hear you, lemme tell you what it means to me, check it out
put a plug in the socket (socket), south bronx started it (started it)
park jams, kool herc put it on the breaks without stoppin
pop locking from the east to the west now they got the whole world planet rockin (you know)
they mocked us, blocked us set they wouldn’t play us
now we’re on the tv influencing every industry (take a look)
yeah, that’s what it means to me
cuz without it i probably never woulda went to college (nah)
but for human language made me think a little deeper
they personally influenced me to wake up from the sleep
catch me out the street like a sidewalk
guard rail hip hop it took me around this world man (all around)
it’s a lifestyle i’m fully dedicated
and brought a lot of people together, how can you hate it? (how can you hate it)
so when you ask what it means to me? (when you ask)
man that’s pretty easy cuz it means everything
hook: chaotic lynk & jas mace
break dancin, mcing, djing all three
yeah, yeah, that’s what hip hop means to me
buckets hats, lee jeans, fat laces, run dmc
yeah that’s what hip hop means to me
conscious with the message always tryna set your mind free
word that’s what hip hop means to me
good times, tight rhymes, chillin in the place to be
and that’s what hip hop means to me
