Hip Hop
Hocus Pocus Lyrics
(Feat. The Procussions)
J'suis tombé sur un vieux clip de Grandmaster Flash
Hey t'as vu c'type et sa dégaine de barge!
Là j'étais scié, son style m'a fusillé (hen hen hen hen)
Sapé comme le keuf des Y.M.C.A!
A base de cuirs serrés, à l'époque banal,
Et des bottes comme celles de Francis Lalanne .
J'sais que c'est un classique, mais qu'on m'enterre
Si c'est ça nos origines vestimentaires.
En fait nos sapes sont toujours aussi cheap,
Hip hop? Les diamants énormes sur les lobes?
Bullshit! Les taspés qu'ont oubliés leurs robes?
J'suis pas convaincu mais au moins ça évolue,
Un peu plus que leurs perfectos et leurs têtes velues,
J'me dis qu'avec nos styles ridicules,
Dans 10 ans on risque de s'marrer,
Quand on se reverra avec du recul.
Hip hop? Les diamants énormes sur les lobes?
Hip hop? Les taspés qu'ont oublié leurs robes?
Hip hop? Les baskets et les casquettes?
Hip hop, j'crois qu'ça se passe plutôt dans la tête...
Hip hop? Les sapes extra extra larges?
Hip hop? Les dollars comme seul objectif?
Hip hop, c'est juste un esprit positif...
I got a passion it's, not just a habit
It's B-boy mentality deeper than any cavity
Way beyond fashion or any kind of salary
A quick elixir mixed with a heavy dose of reality
It's too complicated for the minds outside the lines
Drawn when the volume of drums gets over nine
I'm a, part of a movement not meant for the clueless
Use this in your curriculum when teachin the students
It's not
Who's it, what's is who scems to be controlling it
It's the future of hip hop and how we are unfolding it
It's traveled down the road that every genre must walk down
Hip hop is on the ledgeand it needs to be talked down
The renaissance to the untimely death
The revival of a culture or survival of a soldier
Brought by the common people of poverty and need
I'm a voice, it's a tool, god let the world see
You must be out of ya mind,
If you think the way you dress will serve to help the away you rhyme
Some people put their image first then self gets left behind
So when you search within the verse it's best that you be blind
Your remarkably designed your equal is hard to find
If your unsatisfied take it up with the divine
Cus we don't go the time. and if you go to me
I'll say your better off just being who you supposed to be
Hip hop? Les diamants énormes sur les lobes?
Hip hop? Les taspés qu'ont oublié leurs robes?
Hip hop? Big egos and big chains?
Hip hop, I think it's all inside of your brain
Hip hop? Les sapes extra extra larges?
Hip hop? J'ai dit extra extra larges?
Hip hop? Quick money and fast rides?
Hip hop, just a good feeling inside
Jogging à trios bandes,
Aux pieds des vieilles Stan Smith,
Casquette trois fois trop grande,
Sans oublier les fat laces,
T'es hip hop mec mais tu t'es trompé de 20 pijes,
Maintenant sapé comme ça, t'es house tu piges?
Ca évolue vite, trop vite j'suis désolé,
Quand j'commence à kiffer un truc c'est déjà démodé,
Au moment où j'écris, c'est Air Force 1 et baggy jean,
Mais à la fin d'ce couplet ça sera déjà has been.
On portera demain ce qu'aux States ils portaient hier,
La France, pays de la mode, on en est pourtant fier.
Oh oh j'suis pas dans l'trip fashion ni haute couture,
Les grosses fourrures. Puis quand c'est notre culture?
J'fouille dans mes bacs plutôt que dans ma garde robe,
J'fais du son, ouais, et pas un défilé de mode.
