I Hip Hop

(album: Sleeping On Your Style - 2009)

Depending on what I see on offer, could be your family doctor
A handy man, a boxer, the phantom of the opera
An actor with an Oscar, a robber, tax and dollars
Yo I could have been that tax man and had a Mac in office
Went about a pimp, running with some hookers
A Muslim, a Christian or just a humble Buddhist
Coulda been a has-been, fighter or an athlete
A crack fiend hiding in the back streets
Could have been hated, could have been loved
Could have been jaded, I could have been chuffed
I could have gave a cig whenever they gave a fuck
I could have made it in for all the times I didn't make enough
[?] the coordinator that they were waiting on
Trust playing pokies all day with some wages on pucks
I could've lost some, if I had some
But I did not stop, nah (I hip hop)

"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"I could've been your company's executive
But there be no time for raps and I can't let that slip"

Yo, judging by the way that I flip shit, I could've been a gymnast
A dish begger, a hitman that's ticking off his hit list
A lawyer, a rider, the doorman, the pirate
A scuba dive instructor swimming off an island
Could've been a bouncer but then you'd wanna hit me
Could've been a council worker that's sucking on a ciggie
I could've been a nurse or I could've been a brickie
Why the fuck we go to work when I could've chucked a sickie
Could've been a journalist, working for the paper
A tailor or maybe a personal trainer
A caretaker, a bank man in the city
A surgeon, making money from enhancing your titties
Could've ran the committee of a TV show
I could've made a killing as a CEO
I could've been anything I wanted to be
But all I wanted to be was me (the MC)

"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
"To the hip don-stop" "I hip-"
"I hip hop" "I hip hop"
