I Do It For Hip Hop by Jay-z
[Ludacris]
I do it for hip-hop
I do it for hip-hop
Yeah, I do it for hip-hop
Now this is what they call poetry in motion
My soul bleeds on the paper,
heart screams with emotion
This my daily devotion, that verses
stay deeper than the ocean
So hip-hop you owe me a promotion
Yeah, I do a little boastin' and braggin'
What's all the commotion and naggin' about
'Cause I´m still the champ in the south
'Cause rappers get in the booth
and I keep draggin' them out
Where they fired and these pink
slips I keep handin' them out
'Cause this is Theater of Mind, consider it a sign
Of what's to come next, my money's just fine
Bank filled with dump checks
Terrorist threat flow, proceed to drop
(bombs) like Mr. Funk Flex
But I don't do it for the
money, I do it from the heart
I'll do it with the beatbox, I did it from the start
I'll do it for the DJs, I'll do it for the charts
The Van Gogh flow, Luda do it 'cause it's art
I do it for the fans, I do it on command
I do it for the front row, I do it for the stands
I spit it for the hood, I do it for the block
And since nine years old, I did it for hip-hop
[Ludacris]
So, I don't do for the chains and the fancy drops
I do it for hip-hop
I do it for hip-hop
I do it for hip-hop
And I don't do for the chains and the flashin' rocks
I do it for hip-hop
I do it for hip-hop
I do it for hip-hop
[Nas]
They say I´m so low key, I´m socially awkward
Only those that really know me are
the ones that I talk with
They smile in the light, hate in the dark,
you call it beef, to me its's just a
fuckin' walk in the park
Because you are who you are when nobody is looking
That's who you are so when the
cash and cars is gone, the day
after tomorrow
Don't be askin' to borrow, ski
maskin' it hard, like the way you
rap in your bars
