What is living on 904 michigan,
What is havin roaches in trouble finding more dividends
Dying a poor citizen
What is pausing the door to seal us in war kill us men trying for your kid again
What is saving your pinnacle state in a available place in the awake
Cause you ain't payin no janx when the game makes a way to rotate
What is weight in your safe, so we can stay in race
Lay em on tape invading your state with this pain in your face
When it aims the door slams to aim with the program the bitters give a damn you go ham you giving them more stamina what is having a manager to book so many shows to go jam
What is at the bottom
That i really gotta
What is in a column without another who stopped him, dropped him, popped on top of him, what is summer, spring and autumn
What is to the top and shot him with his poverty
What is acknowledging the prodigy
What is the dichotomy of this good and bad anthology
What is laughs that follow be sad paths psychology
Us living life low their living like you hit the lottery

This is hip hop it's country, jazz and r&b in it's pot
It's rock and roll and universal woodstock
So ain't to way you stoppin this hip-hop-hip-hop
This is hip hop!

[tech n9ne's speach]
When i first heard the beat it gave me the vision that if the mayan calender was correct
And in 2012 the world was actually destroyed when a new civilization forms
And they get to diggin they find this and this will be a perfect way to start off the new hip-hop culture
Ya know what i'm saying? were 2 murders lyrically ya know what i'm saying? it'd be crazy, strange baby!

[brotha lynch hung]
What is getting of the x im righting album
What is being put in the middle like malcolm
Sicker than synchondrosis
I eat carrion i got body parts in my cary on
It's when the party starts nigga i'm very hung
Been ripping up niggas since i was very young
Scary looking motha fucka ready to kill ya daddys mom
Ready to eat that meat with a meat cleaver
I creep in the streets and defeat these eat these nigga's up hot shittin out they feces
Put a knife in they meces
At least hes younger hunger dinner, he sees thunder wonder inner,
He sees baby doctor visits, he spills rabies in his lyrics
Put her in the back with the flat tire i'm fire till i retire
I tie her up then fry her up and then give her to the higher up
Tech n9ne intertwine get out the wine this is hip-hop!

[tech n9ne reversed]

To all my youngsters out there listening to this, find some sort of education or understanding of life and how it was,
And then try to find out how you can couture to grow this thing and better this thing and take this thing to higher heights
With more knowledge and more conviction to preserve this thing called

Hip hop!
