Hip Hop Lives Lyrics - Singles - Krs-one & Marley Marl

I come back, every year I get newer 

I'm the dust on the moon, I'm the trash in the sewer 

Let's go, I come back, every year I get brighter 

If you thinkin' hip hop is alive, hold up your lighter 

Let's go, I come back, every year I'm expandin' 

Talkin' to developers about this city we plannin', c'mon 

I come back through any endeavor 

This is hip hop, we gon last forever 

Hip means to know, it's a form of intelligence 

To be hip is to be update and relevant 

Hop is a form of movement 

You can't just observe a hop, you gotta hop up and do it 

Hip and hop is more than music 

Hip is the knowledge, hop is the movement 

Hip and Hop is intelligent movement 

Or relevant movement we sellin the music 

So write this down on your black books and journals 

Hip hop culture is eternal 

Run and tell all your friends 

An ancient civilization has bee born again, it's a fact 

I come back, every year I'm the strongest 

KRS-One, Marley Marl, yup, we last the longest 

Let's go, I come back cause I'm not in the physical 

I create myself, man, I live in the spiritual 

I come back through the cycles of life 

If you been here once you gon be here twice 

So I tell you, I come back cause you must learn too 

Hip hop culture is eternal 

Hip hop, her infinite power 

Helpin' oppressed people, we are unique and unequaled 

Hip hop, holy integrated people 

Havin' omnipresent power, the watchman's in the tower of 

Hip hop, hydrogen iodine phosphorous 

Hydrogen oxygen phosphorous, that's called 

Hip hop, the response of cosmic consciousness 

To our condition as hip hop 

We gotta think about the children we bringin' up 

When hip and hop means intelligence springin' up 

We singin' what? Sickness, hatred, ignorance and poverty 

Or health, love, awareness and health, follow me 

I come back, every year I get newer 

I'm the dust on the moon, I'm the trash in the sewer, that's right 

I come back, every year I get brighter 

If you think hip hop is alive hold up your lighter, let's go 

I come back, every year I'm expandin' 

Talkin' to developers about this city we plannin' 

I come back through any endeavor 

This hip hop we gon last forever 

We will be here forever 

We will still be here forever 

Get what I'm sayin' forever 

Marley 

I come back, every year I get newer 

That's that, that's that 

I come back, every year I get newer 

That's that, that's that
