The Hype
Kyle Carter
Don’t belive the hype/ Young black boogeyman so you better grab a nite light/ Keep a pistol on my left a knife on my right right/ meanest muggiest ruffian looking for a fight nite/ Sike...the goals at the top and they in my line of sight/ The next Russell Simmons lets see if lightning strikes twice/ How you ‘sposed to climb the ladder if you’re afraid of heights?/ How you supposed to be hungry but you ain’t took a bite?/ In three months/ I’ll be institutionalized/ Joining many black men doing college life/ but don’t mix the word life and think twenty-five/ get your mind out the gutter and your eyes on the prize/ before its too late realize our demise/ Understand media don’t rule our lives/ Understand the media took Trayvon’s life/ Stereotypes, statistics don’t believe the hype
Fluent Flowz
Ok look learn and listen ‘cause Ima bring the change about/ Wisdom is my GPS and Ima show the world my route/ Always been a sore thumb, knew I was unique though/ Never seem to follow lames and always seem to get mo’/ Insightful information to rule a greater nation/ Just be yourself, protect yourself/ and make sure you project yourself/ To be the greatest being to ever walk this planet/ watch them throw their life away don’t take your life for granted/ brodie, Its Fluent Flowz and Ima rep it ‘till the death of me/ Never will I let this stupid..get the best of me/ My team we got the recipe for a better living/ Remember that you set the standard for the growing children/ and one day they will grow/ so therefore you should know/ That everything they learn they’ll pass down to younger bro/ Let’s put an end to all the mess/ and kill it bro with all the stress/ Remember to keep it g-style... and be yourself
Hu$tlena
Right is wrong if you’re not legit it hard to live this life we live/ especially if you’re ignorant/ How can I be an angel in a world full of evil and danger?/ They only comprehend my anger and belligerence/ Im teachable and reachable/ but I’m tripping since I’m tatted up they label me a killer/ a thief a thug tonite, tomorrow and the rest of my life/ all these statistics and stereotypes ain’t right/ I’ve had enough no love in my area/ Everyday’s a battle no trust no nonsense/ is what I’m yelling money power and respect got us/ dizzy telling me its a conspiracy/ Actually it’s a reality/ Take a look around and see/ Exercise your rights be free/ Dream and scheme on bigger things/ Assembly is key/ Be the light be the dark/ Think fast think smart/ Don’t believe the hype believe your heart
Hype Man
Just because the media presents us in a certain way/ that does not mean thats the way we should be portrayed/ like very black person is poor and caucasian is rich/ but now I have me an idea I’m ready to pitch/ being hypocritical to me is so hysterical/ Empowering every individual through the stereo/ The stereotypical nonsense they be putting out/ It must be a tuesday someone bring the trash out/ I am the one and the only/ The realest and the illest I ain’t never been phony/ Never had to change from a square up to an oval/ just to get my friends approval/ I am my own man I have my own mind/ if you want to be stupid you can do it on your own time/ and just dont...just don’t....just don’t believe the hype
