I Do It For Hip Hop Lyrics - Theater Of The Mind - Ludacris

[Faded] 

I do it for hip hop 

I do it for hip hop 

[Ludacris] 

Now this is what they call poetry in motion 

My soul bleeds on the paper, heart screems with emotion 

This my daily devotion, the verses stay deaper then the ocean 

So hip hop you owe me a promotion 

Yea I do a little boasting and bragging 

Whats all the commotion and nagging about? 

Cuz Im Still the Champ in the south 

Cuz rappers get in the booth and I keep dragging them out 

For they fire at these pink slips im handing them out 

Cuz this is theatre of the mind 

Considerate a sign of whats to come next 

My moneys just fine bank filled with dumb checks 

Terrorist threat flow, proceed to drop bombs like mr.pump flex 

But I don't do it for the money, I do it from the heart 

I do it with the beatbox, I did it from the start 

I do it for the DJ's, I do it for the chart's 

The fan gel flow,luda do it cuz it's art 

I do it for the fans, I do it on command 

I do it for the front row, I do it for the stands 

I spit it for the hood, I do it for the block 

It's Nine Years old, I did it for HIP HOP! 

[Chorus] 

I don't do it for the cars and the fancy drops 

I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... 

And I don't do it for the chains and the flashing rocks 

I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP...

I do it for HIP HOP and never ever stop 

Till I get copped, popped, or arrested and locked up 

Not for the lowrider with the chrome T-Top 

Not for the money that can cop any shop 

Not for any Hot Mamas, But nonstop change like obama 

No need for drama yo I do it for my soul 

To hold and control what I can and thats the goal 

To puncture a hole in the bag and leak the movement 

Improvement thats the destination, provin the obligation 

Chainging the population, making the situation 

Better now then ever, n' vow to educating 

The hood to good choices and getting a place in 

Society with the things we facing, while they hating 

We racing to like the masons all the way to the top 

Cleaning up the game from the same damn thing 

Cats faking and acting lame just to attract fame 

But lyrically we react and blast them with words not gats 

We (w)rap words around them like an island on a map 

[removed]As I put on my fitted cap, I think about the music 

And why we do it and how we do use it 

To be a nuisance to the common mind 

And it's time for the whole world to see me with a blinding shine[/removed] 

And I'll never flop or fake with any of them props 

Cuz I don't do it for nothing other then HIP HOP!

[Chorus] 

I don't do it for the cars and the fancy drops 

I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... 

And I don't do it for the chains and the flashing rocks 

I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP...
