| Hey all you hip-hoppers, beboppers, body-rockers
|
| Yea. |
| this is the Remedy right here
|
| The solution to your mothafuckin' ear
|
| And this is the shit that I grew up on
|
| A little hip-hop, wit a touch of rock and roll
|
| Feel your soul, lose control, haha
|
| Way back in the days, nineteen-seventy-nine
|
| Back back when, I wrote my first rhyme
|
| The same year, came the Sugarhill Gang
|
| But little did they know about the Shaolin slang
|
| R&B, disco, pop, country, jazz
|
| Don’t think hip-hop was ever just a fad
|
| Soundscan and Billboard, look at the sale
|
| While other music failed, hip-hop prevailed
|
| Rap music was goin' platinum from the start
|
| Me, Remedy, come straight from the heart
|
| Seventy-nine, Kiss Army, eighty-three, Run-DMC
|
| Eighty-six, KRS and Beasties
|
| Rakim, G. Rap, the Biz and Daddy Kane
|
| Nineteen-ninety-three, end up with Wu-Tang
|
| Hip-Hop Music is never gonna die
|
| Remedy, Wu-Tang, hip-hop survives
|
| «Rap music, don’t want the rap music» (repeats all throughout chorus)
|
| Hip-Hop Music, Hip-Hop Music, Hip-Hop Music
|
| Hip-Hop Music will never die
|
| Twenty long years, many went and came
|
| But let me tell you now how the industry’s changed
|
| Everybody wanna rock ice, everybody swear that they nice (Yup, yup)
|
| Everybody wanna be somebody, nobody’s nothin'
|
| Everybody wants somethin', keep on frontin' (WHAT? WHAT? WHOA!)
|
| Yo, there’s no more love for the music, everyone abuse it
|
| Politics and cash now rules it
|
| Your A&R's are wannabe rock and rap stars
|
| Lost in enforcin' the spot that they are
|
| All of y’all artists that have waited for the fame
|
| A word of advice, yo this is not a game
|
| Some cash in, now some cash out
|
| And most don’t know what they talkin' about
|
| Ninety-nine I must have been I’m crazy
|
| Thinkin' that I’d walk into his office on some old Slim Shady
|
| Love and respect broke fast with the record
|
| Not commercial enough for Russel Simmons
|
| Now Hip-Hop Music is never gonna die
|
| Remedy, Wu-Tang, hip-hop survives
|
| «Rap music, don’t want the rap music» (repeats to fade)
|
| Listen. |
| never die
|
| Pop music, never die
|
| (Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, Remedy will never fight)
|
| Yes he will
|
| (Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, Remedy, we will survive)
|
| Hip-hop. |
| never die. |
| never die. |
| never die
|
| Never die. |
| never die. |
| survive |
