I Do It For Hip Hop - Ludacris/Nas/Jay-Z[00:00:00]
Producer:Wyldfyer[00:00:08]
I do it for hip-hop[00:00:16]
I do it for hip-hop[00:00:19]
I do it for hip-hop[00:00:22]
Now this is what they call poetry in motion[00:00:22]
My soul bleeds on the paper heart screams with emotion[00:00:25]
It's my daily devotion the verses stay deeper than the ocean[00:00:28]
So hip-hop you owe me a promotion[00:00:31]
Yeah I do a little boastin and braggin[00:00:33]
What's all the commotion and naggin about Cause I'm still the champ in the South[00:00:35]
Cause rappers get in the booth and I keep draggin em out[00:00:39]
Well they're fired and these pink slips I'm handin em out[00:00:42]
Cause this is Theater of the Mind consider it a sign[00:00:45]
Of what's to come next my money's just fine[00:00:47]
Bank filled with dumb checks terrorist threat flow[00:00:50]
Proceed to drop bombs like Mr Funk Flex[00:00:53]
But I don't do it for the money I do it from the heart[00:00:56]
I do it with the beat box I did it from the start[00:00:58]
I do it for the dee jays I do it for the charts[00:01:01]
The Van Gogh flow Luda do it cause it's art[00:01:04]
I do it for the fans I do it on command[00:01:07]
I do it for the front row I do it for the stands[00:01:09]
I spit it for the hood I do it for the block[00:01:12]
And since nine years old I did it for hip-hop so[00:01:15]
I don't do it for them cars and the fancy drops[00:01:18]
I do it for hip-hop[00:01:22]
I do it for hip-hop[00:01:24]
I do it for hip-hop[00:01:27]
And I don't it for the chains and the flashin rocks[00:01:28]
I do it for hip-hop[00:01:32]
I do it for hip-hop[00:01:35]
I do it for hip-hop[00:01:38]
Uhh uhh uh[00:01:39]
They say I'm so low key I'm socially awkward[00:01:39]
Only n**gas who really know me who I talk with[00:01:42]
They smile in the light hate in the dark[00:01:45]
You call it beef to me it's just a f**kin walk in the park[00:01:47]
Cause you are who you are when nobody's lookin[00:01:50]
That's who you are so when the cash and the cars is gone[00:01:53]
The day after tomorrow don't be askin to borrow[00:01:56]
Ski mask it hard like the way you rap in your bars[00:01:58]
I can ride on you and whoever devise new endeavors[00:02:01]
I'm as live as a hive full of predators[00:02:04]
Twenty thousand different species of bees[00:02:07]
Some have poisonous stings some just pollen their leaves[00:02:09]
It's like rap some just buzz some will attack[00:02:12]
Compromise their own life in fact[00:02:14]
Sixteen years since my first sixteen[00:02:17]
Pardon the rest of my n**gas but I'm the best who's ever did it[00:02:19]
I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops[00:02:23]
Uh I do it for hip-hop[00:02:26]
Yeah I do it for hip-hop[00:02:29]

And I don't do for the chains and the flashing rocks[00:02:34]
Why we do it kid I do it for hip-hop[00:02:37]
Yeah I do it for hip-hop[00:02:40]
Uh I do it for hip-hop[00:02:43]
Hip-hop started out in the park[00:02:45]
We used to do it to avoid the Narcs[00:02:48]
I used to do it so the homeboy Clark[00:02:51]
Can get the f**k off my back while I knocked off these packs[00:02:53]
I used to rap to impress my friends[00:02:56]
To pass the time while I was gettin' it in[00:02:59]
Just so happens I'm so illegal with the pen[00:03:01]
They ain't want me doin' anything illegal again[00:03:04]
I lost a lot of dogs to these streets[00:03:08]
I got Grammy Awards on these beats[00:03:10]
Thank God for Kool Herc[00:03:13]
Without your sh*t I probably would've got merked[00:03:15]
Shout out to Grandmaster Flash and to Caz[00:03:18]
And even Jaz bum-a*s[00:03:21]
Hip-hop helped me wash my rocks[00:03:24]
These other rappers couldn't wash my socks[00:03:26]
That's why I took the number one slot[00:03:29]
The realest sh*t in rap comes from my voice box[00:03:31]
Lord knows when I was on my clock[00:03:34]
I prolly never woulda stopped thank God for hip-hop[00:03:36]
I don't do for the cars and the fancy drops[00:03:39]
Uh I do it for hip-hop[00:03:42]
