Album: Hip Hop is Dead[00:00:01]

Yea niggaz want to talk about this rap sh*t[00:00:04]

Niggaz want to talk about this money[00:00:06]

About these cars these homes these labels[00:00:09]

Clothes sneakers big money sh*t[00:00:15]

Now everybody tryin' to get rich[00:00:19]

Now get rich niggaz f**k it[00:00:21]

Some rap pioneers be them crackheads[00:00:23]

When they speak you see missin' teeth[00:00:24]

Silver chain with a silver piece[00:00:27]

Niggaz your grandfather's age[00:00:29]

They pants still hangin' down they legs talkin' about they ain't paid[00:00:30]

And they hate you 'cause they say you ain't pay dues[00:00:33]

And *edited* *edited* was stealin' and robbin' them[00:00:38]

I feel it's a problem we gotta resolve[00:00:40]

Hip-Hop been dead we the reason it died[00:00:41]

Wasn't Sylvia's fault or because MC's skills are lost[00:00:44]

It's because we can't see ourselves as the boss[00:00:47]

Deep-rooted through slavery self-hatred[00:00:49]

The Jewish stick together friends in high places[00:00:51]

We on some low level sh*t[00:00:54]

We don't want niggaz to ever win[00:00:56]

See everybody got a label[00:00:58]

Everybody's a rapper but few flow fatal[00:01:00]

It's f**ked up it all started from two turntables[00:01:02]

When they crown you - and you rise up to your position[00:01:06]

+Carry On Tradition+[00:01:09]

When they knight you - then you go to fight go to war don't petition[00:01:11]

+Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+[00:01:15]

Carry on ca-carry on +Carry On tradition+[00:01:18]

+Carry On Tradition+ when you rep what we rep[00:01:21]

Then +Carry On Tradition+[00:01:25]

Now some of these new rappers got their caps flipped backwards[00:01:27]

Wit their fingers intertwined in some gang-sign madness[00:01:29]

I got an exam let's see if y'all pass it[00:01:31]

Let's see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest[00:01:34]

Some of you new rappers I don't understand your code[00:01:36]

You have your man shoot you like in that Sopranos episode[00:01:39]

Do anythin' to get in the game mixtapes you spit hate[00:01:41]

Against bosses; hungry f**ks are moraless[00:01:45]

You should be tossed in a pit full of unfortunate vocalists[00:01:47]

Niggaz I coulda wrote your sh*t; I had off-time was bored wit this[00:01:49]

I coulda made my double-LP just by samplin' different parts of Nautilus[00:01:54]

Still came five on the charts with zero audience[00:01:57]

The lane was open and y'all was droppin' that garbage sh*t[00:02:00]

Y'all got awards for your bricks - it got good to ya[00:02:03]

You started tellin' them bigger dogs to call it quits WHAT [00:02:06]

When they crown you - and you rise up to your position[00:02:09]

+Carry On Tradition+[00:02:13]

When they knight you - then you go to fight go to war don't petition[00:02:14]

+Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+[00:02:17]

Carry on ca-carry on +Carry On tradition+[00:02:20]

+Carry On Tradition+ when you rep what we rep[00:02:24]

Then +Carry On Tradition+[00:02:27]

Now niggaz got the studio poppin' it's mad clearer[00:02:28]

Engineers got his earplugs and still hear us[00:02:31]

The live-in-the-park sound versus the studio state of art sound[00:02:33]

We on the charts now; from British Walkers and Argyles[00:02:38]

Look at us rap stars now wit our black cars now[00:02:41]

Fortune 500 listed brunches sip Cipriani's[00:02:44]

Sippin' blunted with rich white guys around me[00:02:47]

Thick white girls around me Chinese lined up[00:02:50]

Because I'm what every dime lust[00:02:53]

We used to be a ghetto secret; can't make my mind up[00:02:55]

If I want that or the whole world to peep it[00:02:58]

Now +Carry On tradition+[00:03:01]

F**k a bum wack rapper makin' his career out of dissin'[00:03:02]

Peace to the strugglin' artists and dead one's gone we miss 'em[00:03:06]

I promise I +Carry On tradition+[00:03:09]

When they crown you - and you rise up to your position[00:03:11]

+Carry On Tradition+[00:03:14]

When they knight you - then you go to fight go to war don't petition[00:03:15]

+Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+[00:03:19]

Carry on ca-carry on +Carry On tradition+[00:03:23]

+Carry On Tradition+ when you rep what we rep[00:03:27]

Then +Carry On Tradition+[00:03:30]
