Chorus
I love Hip Hop I don’t know where I’d be without Hip Hop
Thats why I emcee....Hip Hop

Hype-Man
Sitting at the house with nothing to do/ Then my brother he was doing something just so cool/ I’m like bro what you doin? He said nothing just rapping/ I was bobbing my head while the beat straight slapping/ Listening to Eminem and Busta while me and my brother both freestyling no other/ Yup,see for me it was a wake up call/ see the skies the limit with the stars and all/ Hip Hop encouraged all of the creativity/ Throughout music without hostility/ From a seed to a startup to a giant/ now when you hear the Hype it make the crowd wanna riot/ but when I was a kid yeah I was kinda quiet/ but with this Hip Hop rap thing I’ll try it/ The H-Y-P-to the -E remember the name/ ‘cause with this I will have you people entertained/ I am a beast that cannot be tamed/ with so much swag it cannot be contained/ I kill every track with no remains...


Demetric
I ain’t joking i’m just floating in my memory recording/ though the visions all distorted lets go back to ninety four when/ we were too young for kids but baby teeth got aborted/ and forget about them Jordans unemployment can’t afford ‘em?/ We had not a care in the world when scaring the girls/ but fearing referrals lets take it back to junior high/ those were the times remember the curls?/ Ha, yeah remember the things we would believe man?/ Remember the things we could achieve man?/ I was a math Wiz but no Khalifia/ I came I saw I conquered in my curls not my Caesar/ We were living in a world where the girls like to tease us/ and the only Franklins I knew were the records by Aretha/ Ha, no Benjamins or other ends/ Its takes time to make change but patience don’t make sense/ and so I learned fast how to earn cash/ and I turned that to a hustle with muscle No Russell degrees and wallet confirm that


Keith Cross

Fool I’m a vet you can bet/ I’m from the same city as Mack 10 from Westside Connect/ but I’m larger than local the world is my set/ Where I’m from where I’m at where I’m heading to next/ But I-N-G is where I took my first breath/ Got my first diss and my first kiss/ Met my first love/ kicked my first flow up in Popcos class with my main man Vince/ Chrome Domez crew I was the last to enlist/ but didn’t mind being the first line of defense/ Esquire would beatbox, now he makes hits/ at lunchtime we’d be in a circle like this..../ uhhh, yo remember that?/ Before Keith was Fathom he was The Underdog Cat/ we took turns until the bell rang to go to class/ then spazzed until the last one ran outta gas/ That was back before rappers had to be hard/ We would rap about anything no matter how bizarre/ Batman, Superman, Twinkle Little Star/ and I ain’t know the meaning of a sixteen bar/ Then we heard Wu-Tang ahh ah ah ahhh/ Now I gotta aim for your jaw/ The game done evolved/ now I gotta murder rap but I’m untouchable ‘cause I’m Above The Law/ I’m the F-A-T-H-O-M Man/ I wish Hip Hop was as hot as it was back then/ and I-N-G was the place where i was stayin’/ First time I ever held an mic in my hand/ Man, I love Hip Hop
