Hip Hop Lyrics - Mr Smith - Ll Cool J

Word up! Y'knowhutI'msayin? 

I gotta globe in the world in the mail today 

NahI'msayin? Heh, word up! 

Uhh, kid told me 

"Yo, the world is yours kid, put it in ya pocket" 

Nahmean? 

Make a brother feel good, word up! 

Brother feel energised 

I wanna dedicate this one to the game 

that put me on the map 

Y'nahI'msayin? 

I know you love it, the game is so irresistible to touch 

You should see me when fienin' for microphones that I can clutch 

Droppin' bombs, combinin' the club attracts 

like the Ol' Sugarhill Gang, King Tim and Fatback 

There's no question the suggestion was made 

The foundation was laid when the Furious played 

Grandmaster Flash slayed the competition that was wishin' 

they could serve the technician with the number one position 

Uh, the real deal, Fearless Four scored 

Bambataa was hotter, Spoony was givin' 'em nutta 

An' I was all up in my headzone, melody and all 

Cosign and The Movement sayin' "Yes, yes y'all" 

It's just the love affair that never ended 

I recommended that I take microphones and blow em up, ain't that splendid 

This one goes out to all the hip-hop do-or-diers 

A song is dedicated to the music I admire 

Whenever and ever 

We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop) 

Whenever and ever 

We want you, do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop) 

Kane's era was terror, he warmed it up 

Parrish and Erick cat lyrics that'll make ya turn it up 

And I was in the cut, chillin' in my drop-top Benz 

with friends, loungin' with my mens, laughin 'bout all the ends 

that I spends, making snaps, pumping Kool G Rap and Biz 

Dapper Don, Dookie wrotes I'm about to show what time it is 

At the rooftop, I was with Doug E.Fresh and Slick Rick 

'La Di Da Di, Who likes to party?' was the fat shit 

I mean I saw this hip-hop thing on every level 

Chuck D, PE, yes the rhythm and the rebel 

I can reminisce the black fist, Uzi, Terminators 

Terror doom techniques that terrorize the lighter shade 

It's all about the game that we play everyday 

Eric B & Rakim flow to such a diff'rent way 

I'm lovin hip-hop cos it help brothers escape 

Let's celebrate our music people before it's too late 

Whenever and ever 

We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop) 

Whenever and ever 

We want you, do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop) 

Survival Of The Fittest-Mobb Deep, and Lost Boyz 

Lickin shots got the game hot 

They even flipped on 2PAC 

Snoop Doggy Dogg put the West Coast in gear 

Dr Dre, NWA, Eazy E's in here 

I wanna tell the world they just don't understand 

My man Nas Escobar, Wu-Tang Clan 

Keith Murray to the Redman, down south Da Brat 

My people are you with me where you at? Ya peep that? 

I'm on a mission to rejuvenate the funk 

Bring the game back and give the do-or-diers what they want 

When you hear Craig Mack, Notorious B.I.G. 

Latifah, Heavy D, you should reminisce of me 

Some say it's Naughty By Nature-'hip-hop in all its glory' 

A fleet of battleships floatin in diff'rent categories 

My love affair with hip-hop'll never fade away 

Sincerely yours, LL Cool J 

Whenever and ever 

We want you, I need you (I need hip-hop) 

Whenever and ever 

We want you, do you feel the same way too? (I need hip-hop) 

Yeah, ain't no doubt about it kid, knowI'msayin? 

Hip-hop's the game, helped a lot of brothers escape 

Take it to another level, knowI'msayin? 

It's our music, we own this music, knowhutI'msayin? 

Word life! I wanna give a couple of shoutouts here, knowhutI'msayin? 

First of all, I wanna thank my man Baby Chris, y'nahmean?

Word bond! Hip-hop for life, kid!
