Occupy
Chill Bump Lyrics

Eyo check this, I don't got no lexus, no rocks, no necklace,
I don't have any material possessions to brag about

I don't rock rolexes, role with big-shot, Guap collecters,
I don't associate myself with wealthy people who collect money

I'm not so reckless, not so macho, I'm not so sexist
I don't behave in a careless, overly aggressive or sexist way

hip-hop professors judge me, but I never stopped fo' lectures.
I'm being criticized by experts, but I still haven't stopped trying to learn

I never popped no teck cause I'm not an old G, I'm not connected,
I haven't used drugs or committed crimes because I'm not part of an older generation or criminal network

never cocked no weapon to kill some rat that the cops protected.
I've never used a gun to harm someone who was being protected by the police

So why scream watch yo step kid? I won't play roles.
Why warn me to be careful when I won't pretend to be someone else?

My phoney foes brag about the dough they own, with okay flows.
My fake enemies boast about the money they have, with mediocre rap skills

They probably boycott colgate yo, when they spit kids hold they nose.
They most likely don't maintain proper dental hygiene when they rap, causing others to hold their nose in disgust

I know they won't change, no, these no brainers got no huevos!
I'm aware they won't change, these foolish people have no courage

Time to occupy hip-hop too, so much is going wrong!
It's time to claim hip-hop music and culture for a positive change

How can y'all relate to a Lil Wayne song with what is going on?
How can you identify with Lil Wayne's music when it doesn't address current issues?

You've babbled that barbarian-battle-bar a billion times now.
You've repeated the same superficial rap lyrics over and over

A little bit of this bitter reality should fit in your rhymes pall.
You should include some harsh reality in your lyrics

Bling blinging is dead, we didn't listen to shit that you said.
We're not convinced by your flashy lifestyle, we ignore what you say

Occupy... Hip-Hop...
Let's claim hip-hop music and culture for a positive change

Squash the leaders...
Let's get rid of those in charge of the industry who don't support true hip-hop values

They're gonna Watch us...
They'll be amazed at what we can accomplish

As the game crumbles...
As the current dysfunctional state of hip-hop becomes clear

If we fail...
If we don't succeed at turning things around

Try to guide your pen...
Keep writing and aiming for positive change

We mighty my friends...
We're powerful, my friends

We the 99 percent, yeah!
We represent the majority of people who truly love hip-hop

Kiddo that's right, give us that mic, 'cause you gotta listen to what we spit.
Give us the microphone, because what we're about to say is important

We preachin' the truth, we teaching the youth, ain't no gimmicks to con these kids.
We're spreading truth and educating young people about real hip-hop, without using marketing gimmicks

We just wanna kill a silly cliché, show you what lyrical content is,
We just want to break a meaningless stereotype and demonstrate what great lyrics are

We just wanna help a motherfucker feel free, start lifting his consciousness.
We just want to help someone feel empowered and informed

If we get a couple kids to understand that, well it's an accomplishment.
If we can educate some young people, it will be a real achievement

If I make a little guy wanna sit and write, it's the biggest of compliments.
If I inspire a young person to write and be creative, it's the best compliment I can receive

All he gotta do is not follow the trend and keep building his confidence.
All he has to do is avoid following mainstream trends and focus on his own style and growth

If tradition gets followed, when he gets older, children will follow him!
If he sticks to true hip-hop values and continues to create inspiring art, he can inspire future generations

But the one percent keep climbing, shining, get a bigger cheque, better life, get greedier.
Meanwhile, the wealthy and powerful one percent keep getting richer and more selfish

Better not stay bitter, better boycott the bullshit hype, better fight the media.
We should avoid feeling resentful, reject sensationalist hype, and fight against mainstream misinformation

Fuck the shite they feeding ya, even though following might be easier.
Ignore the nonsense they tell you to believe in, even though going along might seem easier

Learn a bit of wisdom from the old school rappers like an encyclopedia.
Study the wisdom of classic hip-hop artists like you would a reference book

Get them vocodeurs off your albums, think before you talk about guns,
Avoid using auto-tune and unnecessary vocal effects, and be mindful when addressing gun violence

Don't say shit you shouldn't have said, better watch your mouth, there's always outcomes.
Don't say things that are inappropriate, be careful about what you say, there will be consequences

It's not about swag, not about broads, not about fashion, not about cars,
Hip-hop music and culture shouldn't rely on superficial elements like fashion, cars, and women

not about autographs, corny rap stars... It's all about knowledge, all about bars!
It's not about celebrities or gimmicky trends; it's all about deep knowledge and great rap lyrics

Occupy... Modify... Hip-Hop... Gotta try
We should claim, adjust and improve hip-hop culture

Squash the leaders... Solid lies
We should bring down the leaders who perpetuate lies and misleading messages

They're gonna Watch us... Horrified
They'll be afraid of what we can achieve

As the game crumbles... Before their eyes
As the current state of hip-hop falls apart, they'll witness it firsthand

If we fail... Try again
If we don't succeed the first time, we should keep on trying

Try to guide your pen... and fight the trend
Keep writing purposefully and against mainstream trends

We mighty my friends... We the ninety nine percent, yeah!
We're powerful and represent the majority of people who love true hip-hop
