Bird's Eye View

(Zion whispers) I got a bird's eye view

(Girl in the background) Hip hop, is so many things you can say about it, know what I mean?

Like, on the real, hip hop is like, just, beautiful

Hip hop is life

[Verse 1]

From the first time I saw you, infatuation

Pulled to the side to provide conversation

Wild reputation but you were so cool

Any old fool knew that you was a jewel

Ghetto to ghetto, your influence settled

More hardcore than r&b but not metal

Blacker than a kennel, you made me feel mellow

Introduction to my life, I said "hello"

Meet me in a minute 'cause I gotta finish school

Some of my homies, they never finished puffin' woo's

Stayin' up late, always studying the tapes

The world watched you fall in love, I guess fate had a,

Grip on my mind state, I wanna rhyme, wait

I fell in line, getting signed at the wrong gates

And so my heart braced at first for real

But I would still be lovin' you 'cause deep is what I feel

[Chorus]

I got a bird's eye view (hip hop...the realness)

I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu

I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu

2x

[Verse 2]

She's the one I always count on, one that wouldn't leave me

One that's in the city always written in graffiti

One that keeps me company, when I'm all alone

She's my heart, my mind, my spirit and my bones

She's the only one I know that would go across the globe

Meet me in a foreign land, treat me like I'm home

Everything I own, give to her, she deserves it

Treats me like a king, every syllable is perfect

Searched through the earth for a reason just to be here

And since I met her every moment's like a leap year

Baby you can sleep here, you can stay with me

Anywhere you go, know I'm probably gon' be

Full of energy, and you never acting tired

You're everything I need, when I prayed, God supplied

You my chunky fire, blessings you provide

Always in my life 'til the day that I die

[Chorus]

2x

(hip hop, hip hop, hip hop...is life)
