Hip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might ask is why we call ourselves the hip hop locos
Baking like Boston beans fartin out our vocals
No laxative for the shit that we get
So pass it on to Mike you Mikey he likes it
Others disapprove of the move that we swing
Not a brown underground thing not a pop thing
Yo you gotta come hard hey yo we in their face
I switch pop to hip hop to pop both ways
Versatile some should learn the definition
If money is the key then sucka why you dissin
The rap scene is hectic when it ends from when it starts
But most rap groups today are found on the pop charts
don't get us wrong we prefer the funk better
But a job is a job for the real go getter
Standing in the spotlight here come the bros
Throwing down with the brown on the hip hop locos

Chorus 2x
Hippity hop what?
The hippity hop locos
Hippity hop what?
The hippity hop locos

Once again its on never the same old song
cause me and my boy you know that we got it going on
Listen to while I flow
Got the skills to let em know
So let me be the one that was the one
Who told you so check it
Most didn't think we could flow rhymes
Excite write produce the whole 9
I don't want to respect cause I get mine
You got static raise up cause its fight time
I'm the beginning to end you gets no win
I put my fist to your chin you working
Pound for pound I hold my own when I come around
So ain't nothin but a come up when I'm throwin down
Like this like that spit game when I rap
Got back to bum rush and filled your cap
So everybody gather round and peep the vocal
Its the D also known as the hip hop locos

Chorus 3.5X

Versatile some should learn the definition 3x
I switch pop to hip hop to pop both ways
Versatile some should learn the definition 3x
I switch pop to hip hop to pop both ways

Now the brothers help me out on the side with my rap skills
Did what I had to do now its time to show you the deal
Never rap on the mic intoxicated
I might of hit the drink but the crew you know I can't fade it
19 years old and I never in the twelfth
For me being a loco I had to go myself
>From Santa Ana the city that gave me my pride
I kicked it and I chilled with the homies on the Westside
Born and raised a baby Latin with my little Latin friends
Thinking of ways so that we could make ends
Always stuck to hip hop cause hip hop won't flop
So let us swing our thing and let it rain like a rain drop
Snap back go pop cause the shop has been rocked
With a style that they call a hipper shade of hip hop
Goes out to those both friends and foes
As we close
Ugh..The hip hop locos





Chorus until end

"so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that you're full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he ain't finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's ti'me to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i don't care what these people think
i'm just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks"

The audacity to make a nearly 15 minute long song in 1979 in a genre that basically no one knew about, and then to have it be a huge hit is just amazing

@Oldcrow77

Grateful Dead did rap 5 years earlier. They truly were ahead of their time and the greatest band in so many ways

@Angel43189

It was also in one of the greatest Tony Hawk games to ever exist. Tony Hawk Underground 2.

@itsroskull6327

@Blitzø that games whole soundtrack put me on to so many great music genres.

@BrentDubroc

My man, epic length songs that took up an entire side of a vinyl album was all the rage back in the 70s. Just look up prog rock epics for some examples lmao

Legend. First heard this in the skating rink as a teen in 1979, could NOT sit down when this was playing. Now I'm 57 and just shared it on Facebook in honor of the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop, and I jumped up and started dancing. Timeless good jams.

@charlenepatterson5168
