hip-hop can't die life eternal burning a hole in my soul/ grabbing my chest feeling deep inside lets ride me and my queen hip-hop/ married since 5 i member when i wild running streets she was the only thing that kept me on my feet/ use to turn on large professor just listen to the beats/ nas dropped infinite knowledge dropped more bombs than pro qb/ then mobb deep was next out of qb/ big was hitting brooklynn/ then blackmoon dropped enta da stage thats about the time i learned to carry the 12 gauge/ then big l came out for harlem/ then jay-z came 2 years later talking about having a harem of women/ pun then came not wanting to be a player no more/ then x changed the game became the only rapper ever to debut at number 1 3 times in a row/ then hip-hop changed with cats from the south talking about hoes/ since a rise in a region that pretty much had died came back to ride hard/ nas n jay went at it hard going punch for punch/ nas came out victorious and ate jay for lunch/ then a punch was delivered to ny rap again crunk was rising/ suprised at the country going dumb/ to this music with simplistic lyrics no substantial subject matter/ then 50 n g-unit came in strong/ then game came out in 05 tried to bring west back/ 05 marked the year of h-town rise again not since geto boys n face did back in the day/ 06 took it back to a day of some real lyricist hitting mainstream ghostface, lupe, rhymefest, ray cash all dropped definitive albums/ its 07 now i'm wondering when its my time to rise/
