I Do It For Hip Hop

[Ludacris]

I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop

Yeah, I do it for hip-hop

Now this is what they call poetry in motion

My soul bleeds on the paper,

heart screams with emotion

This my daily devotion, that verses

stay deeper than the ocean

So hip-hop you owe me a promotion

Yeah, I do a little boastin' and braggin'

What's all the commotion and naggin' about

'Cause I´m still the champ in the south

'Cause rappers get in the booth

and I keep draggin' them out

Where they fired and these pink

slips I keep handin' them out

'Cause this is Theater of Mind, consider it a sign

Of what's to come next, my money's just fine

Bank filled with dump checks

Terrorist threat flow, proceed to drop

(bombs) like Mr. Funk Flex

But I don't do it for the

money, I do it from the heart

I'll do it with the beatbox, I did it from the start

I'll do it for the DJs, I'll do it for the charts

The Van Gogh flow, Luda do it 'cause it's art

I do it for the fans, I do it on command

I do it for the front row, I do it for the stands

I spit it for the hood, I do it for the block

And since nine years old, I did it for hip-hop

[Ludacris]

So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops

I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop

And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks

I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop

[Nas]

They say I´m so low key, I´m socially awkward

Only those that really know me are

the ones that I talk with

They smile in the light, hate in the dark,

you call it beef, to me its's just a

fuckin' walk in the park

Because you are who you are when nobody is looking

That's who you are so when the

cash and cars is gone, the day

after tomorrow

Don't be askin' to borrow, ski

maskin' it hard, like the way you

rap in your bars

I could ride on you and whoever, devise new endeavors

I´m as live as hive full of predators

Twenty thousands different species of bees

Some half poisonous sting, some just

pollinating their leafs

It's just like rap, some will buzz

some will attack, compromising their

own life in fact

Sixteen years since my first sixteen,

pardon the rest of my niggas

But I´m the best whoever did it [Ludacris]

I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops [Nas]

Uh, I do it for hip-hop

Yeah, I do it for hip-hop, uh [Ludacris]

I do it for hip-hop

And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks [Nas]

Why we do it kid, I do it for hip-hop

Yeah, I do it for hip-hop, uh

I do it for hip-hop

[Jay-Z]

Hip-hop, started out in the park

We used to do it to avoid the Narcs

I used to do it so the homeboy Clark

can get the fuck off my back while I

knocked off these packs

I used to rap to I´mpress my friends

The past of tI´me when I was gettin' it in

Just so happens I´m so illegal

with the pen, they ain't want me

to do anything illegal again

I lost a lot of dawgs to these streets

I got Grammy awards on these beats

Thank God for Cool Herc

Without this shit I probably would've got murked

Shout outs to Grandmaster Flash and the cash

And even Jaz bum ass

Hip hop helped me wash me ass

These other rappers couldn't wash my socks

That's why I took the number one slot

The realest shit in rap comes from my voice box

Lord knows when I was on my clock

I probably never would've stopped

Thank God for hip-hop

[Ludacris]

I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops [Jay-Z]

I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop [Ludacris]

I do it for hip-hop

And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks [Jay-Z]

come on, I do it for hip-hop

I do it for hip-hop [Both]

I do it for hip-hop
