The Pavement

VERSE

This is where it was born, and this is where it lives
This is Hip Hop down on the pavement with the chosen kids
No favourite statements, just the flows and beers
No time for posers here
Lyric structure chosen, my opponent fears
Components steer my thoughts to culture of kings
Just what this element brings
The four relevant things
And all the parts of the game that keep the city alive
The T to B's, the B's, the DJ's and the emcess tonight
You know it's more than just the sum of it's parts
When you were feeling it
Dope flows with the sharpest of bars
And paying homage to the homies that passed
That's why this culture will last
We pay respect and permeate every class
So when I point you to the part of the track
That makes the haters pull back
The sentiment that I release to attack
I only ask you just to follow me through
Pursue the truth
Like this emcee's gonna do
When he steps in the booth

PRE/POST HOOK

Ya never know what ya gonna get until ya got it
So just pop it
Ya never know what ya gonna get until ya got it
So drop some...

HOOK

Hip to the Hop
Don't stop
Well we drop what we've got
We never stop
It's the Hip to Hop
Don't stop
Well we drop what we've got
Pop'n lock here on the red spot
Hip to the Hop
Don't stop
Well we drop what we've got
We never stop
It's the Hip to Hop
Don't stop
Well we drop what we've got
We never stop

PRE/POST HOOK

VERSE

The Holy Grail it aint about the sales and dividends
Ya know it's purveying the rhyme culture
And sailing against
Bucking the trends
Ducking the friends
That wanna shotgun in a Benz
Rather than bumping ya drop they copped from a friend
It's all about the real deal
Spitting truth in ya speel
The captivating appeal
Hip Hop can have to conceal
The simple pressures of life in itself
Hip Hop surrounds
It's alive in yourself
Let's play the hand that we're dealt
For me it's a little more than this
I'm using verbs in accordance with my ordinance
Coordinates, fortunately in front of an audience supporting this
Like Burn City weather I'm an Ornament and storming this
I contort my spit, let me commit
To solicit a lyric, and force ya mind to revisit
The reason why we're even here in the first place
To embrace the music and to get some Hip Hop up in your head space
