Hope - Nas[00:00:00]

Written by：Nasir Jones/C. Payne[00:00:00]

Hip hop[00:00:00]

It will never die[00:00:01]

Hip hop[00:00:04]

Hip hop will never never die[00:00:05]

Ghetto n***a strutting with nothing[00:00:10]

But dreams in queens broke[00:00:11]

Mac 10s you can smell the pcp smoke[00:00:13]

Melle mel told it real in the music he wrote[00:00:15]

Those were the days I remember[00:00:18]

We used to be close[00:00:20]

Then I was nine coldest winter I remember[00:00:21]

Was slipping in December two feet of snow[00:00:23]

Yeah that's the east coast that black ice[00:00:25]

Symbolize the rap life it was slick and smooth[00:00:27]

I understood I had to come from the hood[00:00:29]

Doing the pee wee herman[00:00:31]

The smurf[00:00:33]

Before them phones chirped[00:00:33]

The blocks drugs flowing[00:00:34]

Didn't have your own work[00:00:36]

You had to have somebody else's[00:00:37]

A small chrome on your pelvis[00:00:38]

Starter jacket blue georgetown or green Celtic[00:00:40]

Your girl's too expensive[00:00:43]

She want shellfish[00:00:44]

Red lobster was popping[00:00:45]

Standing on that line forever[00:00:46]

I wish somebody would step[00:00:48]

On my bally leathers[00:00:49]

Now it's whatever[00:00:50]

Hip hop's forever[00:00:51]

Kept my radio on 98 or BLS[00:00:53]

Had a pre pubescent lyric gift[00:00:56]

But niggas never hear me spit[00:00:57]

My little brother tried to warn 'em[00:00:58]

I was a tornado coming[00:01:00]

He knew from inside[00:01:02]

Like the eye of a storm[00:01:03]

And told my pops about it[00:01:04]

He gave us tickets to that wild style flick[00:01:05]

Double trouble retarded we was the proudest[00:01:07]

I never had a summer job[00:01:09]

Sweeping leaves[00:01:11]

Socks to my knees[00:01:12]

Home made shorts cut off lee's[00:01:13]

I ain't work a day in my life[00:01:14]

Wiping away eraser off the paper man[00:01:16]

I'm just trying to say it right[00:01:19]

Big radio tape's slowing down[00:01:20]

Lower the lights go battery dead[00:01:22]

I got to freeze 'em 'till they're ice cold[00:01:24]

In the freezer later[00:01:26]

I'm staring at the speaker[00:01:27]

Sunk in them 808's deeper cleaning my sneakers[00:01:28]

With the bristles of a toothbrush[00:01:31]

Soap and water[00:01:33]

I let the shoestrings soak in water[00:01:33]

Water water[00:01:35]

Ain't got nothing to do it[00:01:37]

With old school[00:01:38]

No school[00:01:39]

Dirty south[00:01:40]

West coast east coast[00:01:41]

This about us[00:01:43]

This our thing[00:01:45]

No sun has came from the gut[00:01:46]

From the blood[00:01:48]

From the soul[00:01:49]

Right here man[00:01:51]

This is our thing man[00:01:52]

You know[00:01:55]

So I say what I say[00:01:56]

And I say what I say I'm mean it[00:01:59]

Y'all take it how you want to take it[00:02:01]

'Cause if you asking[00:02:03]

Why is hip hop dead[00:02:05]

It's a pretty good chance[00:02:06]

You the reason it died man[00:02:07]

It's a pretty good chance[00:02:09]

Your lame a*s corny a*s[00:02:10]

Is the reason it died man[00:02:12]

Don't give a f*ck about it[00:02:14]

You know nothing about it[00:02:15]

You want this paper be a hustler[00:02:17]

You a hustler you ain't a rapper[00:02:19]

Get your paper man[00:02:20]

You know I'm saying[00:02:21]

But this rap sh*t is real[00:02:22]

Bi*ch[00:02:24]

Is sh*t is real bi*ch[00:02:26]

Ha ha ha[00:02:27]

Give hip hop give[00:02:28]
