I Am Hiphop
[Sole ]
Well its 7: 45 oh yeah
we'll see who's the bigger man
Other dead men walking 4: 00p.m. I heard a dead man talking
He said its inconsequential
for get it its nice
I'll always get into harlots Ville with this knife getaway
I don't want to buy you a drink
forget to piss on your pride little girl
Yeah stepped on your feet
you want to eat that dirty white how what ya looking at
The cap
bartender tender me some sex on the beach
before I reach out and impediment your speech
Once I get'em in my reach
unprecedented impeach
He saw a double crossed dance illuminated by disco lights
Unseen unspoken
in a scene provoking a thought provoking scene
in a smoke scene interrupted by intervening disco lights
aint nobody dancing
aint no music everybody still
I can only see one man
he looks good enough to kill
so I muscle my way through dustless of imposers
10: 30 to 10 feet away 5 fingers surround the object of entrapment
I don't need to see his eyes
I feel his jack then his shirt then his skin then his kidneys then out
then blood then blood then blood
then neck then blood then blood then blood chest
Then I see his girl watching over him
like she is gonna cry his little ass back to life
This is my only way I know
so I must remove the knife
We eye to eye now
goodbye to his life fool
I told you I would get my five dollars back tonight

[Slug]
Another night (night)
Another dollar (dollar)
Another crowd I enlisted to make holler (now scream)
Another I really wish this crowd was a little bit larger
Excuse me mister promoter
could I bother you
For a couple of bottles
of premium placed on the stage
For me and my brethren you know beverages
Intoxication balance and leverage
Guessing this is that point where I grab the mic and make my point
kick my flow make'em say hoooo
blow the lid off the joint
ahem: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
and then they befriended I love it when this situation happens
This the type of crowd that build self esteem
Come 10: 30 is was I finally felt that sting.
(commotion. Yo yo yo yo (hes got a knife)
yo what the fucks going on right here,
calm the fuck down calm that shit down (that's blood)
check check get'em up get off get off)

I shed another blood you knew I would
I feel you should adapt
can't run forever trapped death stepped up to
shed another blood you knew I would
I feel you should adapt
can't run forever trapped death stepped up to

-SORRY JUST ALCOHOL

[Dose]
Thanks anyhow its just been one of those days alcohol only
How can you not sell fucking cigarettes at a bar excuse me
but I wonder where those two wild women are
I've gotten off one minute they're all ears and big eyes
then they're wandering off
to bark up the next mans tree EXCUSE ME
thank you Jesus Christ this place is

if only she would put some clothes on (excuse) enough
I'll just bend and stay in the mean market. humm humm humm

Actually this kid is nasty

[Alias]
Uh uh. oh my god twisting and turning
what's that sensation of burning
yearning to witness some spoken words but now I'm learning
but I cant step into the outer limits of my abode without
kids acting hard staring glaring
yes I'm in the daring mode
My girl debated me going out at
this nocturnal time she said I should just chill
stay in the house and write a rhyme
I disagreed and ventured out
Totally against all of her wishes
stated that if I went to this particular venue
I would later be needing stitches
but my manhood
in the need to ease my mind has forced me out to check and see
what this up and coming lyrist is all about
Arrived at the show at 9: 45 and they're saying these kids are live
Waited in line to pay my fee to take my entrance to this dive
Already performing up on stage
these kids outside smoke deuce
the rhymesayer had the crowd by the balls while up in the dj booth
final manipulation is complex in the body of its sound
mesmerized in higher elevated on the shoulder I feel a pound
My right side and his right side
connected accidental
he's staring in my vision
and taking Said something about knocking out dentals
then tried it on slowly
I paid no attention to his words
cuz perusing any challenge by forth at this point would be absurd
I saw no familiar face in the sea of goatees and baseball caps
which is fine with me
Cuz this ocean is filled with mindless saps
just then I heard a scream behind me
there was quite a commotion
I felt something tap my back once
then repeated in this motions
oh my god twisting and turning
what's this sensation of burning
yearning to just witness some spoken word but now I'm learning
I should have listen to my girl when she spoke up and debated
if I had then my body and soul would not be separated (oh my god)

I shed another blood
you knew I would I feel you should
adapt
can't run forevert rapped death stepped up to
shed another blood
you knew I would I feel you should
adapt
can't run forever trapped death stepped up to
shed another blood
you knew I would I feel you should
adapt
can't run forever trapped death stepped up to
shed another blood
I knew would I feel you should
adapt
can't run forever trapped death stepped up to

Overall Meaning

The song I Am Hip Hop by Deep Puddle Dynamics showcases a series of vignettes that illustrate different aspects of hip hop culture, and how it intersects with the darker and violent side of life. Each verse follows a different character, each with their own motivations and justifications for the violent acts that they commit - from a street thug who takes revenge on a man who owes him money, to a rapper who gets caught in the middle of a fight and has to defend himself. The final verse by Alias is a poignant reflection of the need for survival in an environment that constantly threatens to turn volatile and dangerous.


The lyrics of I Am Hip Hop are a powerful commentary on the marginalization of hip hop culture, and the ways in which it is often associated with violence and aggression. The use of first-person point of view draws the listener in, and creates a sense of empathy for the characters, even as they engage in violent and destructive behavior. The use of repetition in the chorus - "shed another blood you knew I would, I feel you should adapt, can't run forever trapped death stepped up to" - underscores the cyclical nature of violence, and the ways in which society often pushes marginalized individuals into a corner where violence and aggression become the only means of survival.


Overall, I Am Hip Hop is a powerful and thought-provoking song that explores the darker side of hip hop culture, and questions the pervasive stereotypes that are often associated with it.
