Hip Hop
Eminem feat Royce Da 59 Lyrics

I know my streets, I know my sounds
I am familiar with the streets and sounds that surround me

y'all know my beats, how I get down
You are familiar with my style of music and how I perform

I take my steps, and leaps and bounds
I am constantly working hard and progressing in my career

Nigga it's, hip hop!
This is the essence of hip hop!

Yeah, yeah, we started from nothing a couple MC's
We started with very little, just a few emcees

Beat-boxin, the crowd in the lunch room (yeah)
We used to beatbox and perform for our peers during lunchtime at school

Me and Prem', both names go together
My name and producer Premier's name are closely associated with each other

Like they ain't supposed to be separate, like "D" in the D
Our names are so closely associated that they should not be separated, just like the "D" in Detroit

I said it before, I rep in records beats
I have mentioned before that I represent records and beats

At the headquarters, rest in peace
I represent this label and its legacy, even though it no longer exists

Nigga I'ma hold shotty, and knock you out
I am confident in my abilities and will knock you out with my shotgun (metaphorically)

And I ain't gotta know Karate like Afu-ra
I don't need to know Karate like Afu-ra to be successful

It's, hip hop!, strong or not
This is what Hip Hop is, whether it is strong or not

This is rap basketball, stats all you got
Hip Hop is like a basketball game, the only thing that matters are the stats (success)

Long as you hot, and your flow could hold up
As long as you are successful and your music holds up

To knowin all of your short goals is long shots!
You must be aware that achieving your goals in Hip Hop is difficult

Ninety percent of you niggaz ain't hard
90% of you are not tough

Here +Just to Get a Rep+, you not +Gangstarrs+
Being here is just to get a reputation, you are not Gangstarrs

The finest flow will amaze, rap without me
The best rap flow will be impressive, even without my presence

Minus The Source, minus the Quotable page
Without The Source and its Quotable page, Hip Hop wouldn't be the same

Hip hop! is everything around you
Hip Hop is all around you

"No competition"
There is no competition in Hip Hop

Back to the voice, of today
Back to the current voice of Hip Hop

"It's real in the field"
Things are real in the world of Hip Hop

What's realer than, hip hop! (yeah)
Nothing is more real than Hip Hop

Rythmic, league c'mon wit it, I'm long winded
I am capable of going a long time without losing my rhythm in my flow

I will diss you, from long distances
I will criticize you from afar

You will not get the chance, like Choppa
You will not get the opportunity, like Choppa did

Ness and Dylan, to dis-respect, who you don't listen to
Like Ness and Dylan, disrespecting someone who you refuse to listen to is pointless

Egg in the skillet brain, nigga, diss is you
Your brain is scrambled, trying to diss me

Smarten up, every person in the earth, be harden up
Get smarter and tougher, everyone on Earth

But the only target is us
But we are the only ones being targeted

Hip hop! cars and trucks
Hip Hop is about cars and trucks

I be dreaming about shit, like having a hard time swinging
I have dreams about struggling with things, like boxing

On a nigga, or squeezing a trigger or falling
Fighting someone, shooting a gun, or falling down

If I land, I won't wake up (yeah)
If I hit the ground, I will not wake up from my dream

My six shot model, ya crew
My six-shooter will take out your crew

I'm leaving ya mommy faces blue, just like a Hypnotic bottle
I am hurting your mother's feelings, just like the color of a Hypnotic bottle

They feel you the realer, you spit
Your emotions are real when you perform

This killer shit is hearing us
People are listening to our music about killing people

Healing you if you ill or you sick mentally
Our music can help heal you if you are mentally ill or sick

More venom, 5'9 is like a G5
I have more aggression and power, like a G5 airplane

Illest lyrics is stored in him
The sickest lyrics are inside of me

Chorus is killing, any warrior feeling
The chorus is overpowering, even to the bravest warriors

That I ain't God, Lord willing
I am not God, but if it is meant to be, it will happen

Trust me, after I crush ya building
Believe me, after I defeat your crew

You will just hush, you won't restore the village
You will not speak out, just like the village you can't bring back

We look toward wit killing, real
We are focused on real, violent things in our music

Though this album is morbidly feeling to steel
Even though this album has a deathly theme, it is still strong

Hip hop! Fuck your feeling's
Hip Hop doesn't care about your emotions

More rappers dying, much more killing
More and more rappers are dying, and there is more killing in general

It's no feeling, realer than gambling ya life
Nothing is more real than risking your life

Everyday, and waking up to more dealing's
Everyday waking up to more drugs to deal

Fourteen killing's, compared to offshore millions
If you compare 14 killings to the money made offshore, the difference is massive

Equals, I got a lot more villains
There are more villains out there than I originally thought

You know that you easily lose, you be on MTV News
You know that you can easily lose and be featured on MTV News

For the first time, because you died over
Your first time on MTV News will be when you die
