The Way We Live

(альбом: Life - 2006)

Welcome to hip-hop culture
We stay hot like Tulsa
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, followed by a number one
These rappers they do run run

Lyrically they flashing two guns with new funds
But politically they do run run
When it's time to build, they chill, gettin nutting done
But they mouth yes they do run run

I've heard, just about all that I can hear
We talk and talk but this talking is going nowhere
I've been to the summits and conferences
And the people man, they'll tell you man
Hip-hop is the way we live

If you're down for this nation, hip-hop the nation
Three generations, fourth in the waiting
Look at what we facing, mainstream penetration
Everyone's a biter now, no innovation

No syncopation, lost communication
Here's what we gotta do to fix the situation
First step know what you creating
Hip-hop the culture, the consciousness, a new civilization

I've heard just about all that I can hear
We talk and talk but this talking is going nowhere
I've been to the summits and conferences
And the people man, they'll tell you man
Hip-hop is the way we live

Everybody, c'mon unite now
Turn on the light now, stop all the fight now
Time to unite now, a new type of life now
No stress no strife, no gun, no knife now

No board no pipe now, we seeing the light now
Being the light now, the future is right now
Hip-hop is like wow, ready to fight now
Sick of the hype now, just about right now

I've heard just about all that I can hear
We talk and talk but this talking is going nowhere
I've been to the summits and conferences
And the people man, they'll tell you man
Hip-hop is the way we live

I hear uhh, hip-hop is calling me
The fact you must see sir, rap is not all of me
I use that to reach ya, rappers be boring me
Redo the industry with a two dollar royalty

What's the agenda, to hip-hop and politics
Don't you remember? The violence we stopping this
Kris will defend the, hip-hop populist
The solution is simple, raise up yo' consciousness

I've heard just about all that I can hear
We talk and talk but this talking is going nowhere
I've been to the summits and conferences
And the people, they'll tell you man
Hip-hop is the way we live

Welcome to hip-hop culture
We stay hot like Tulsa

Lyrically they flashing two guns with new funds
But politically they do run run
When it's time to build, they chill, gettin nutting done
