The Endurer – Hands In The Air lyrics

Chorus
Put yo hands in the air if you’re hip hop
And some of y’all making moves need a hip stop
Getting shots no prerequisite for hip hop
And some of y’all going platinum really hip flops
Put yo hands in the air if you’re hip hop
And you won’t sell your soul to reach the hip top
Getting shots no prerequisite for hip hop
And some of y’all going platinum really hip not

Vs 1.
Hip Hop if what you live it’s what you give It’s canvas converse
Before Lugs & Tims
Hip Hop is before the n-word was a common phrase
Hip Hop used to be knowledge for the sons of slaves
Hip Hop was on the corner until cops came
It’s races and cultures representing the game
Hip Hop was our best seller until crack came
Now drug deals run these corners where we once played
Hip Hop is the black pick with the black fist
Calling our women by their name no “B” with a “Itch”
Not slut nor trick They thought hip hop was dead but Hip Hop is quick
And we gon’ be right here till the Lord comes and takes us home
Hip Hop is what blends the soul
It’s God’s creative genius that broke the mold
We got more fans that the Super Bowl ( Outkast!!!)

Chorus
Put yo hands in the air if you’re hip hop
And some of y’all making moves need a hip stop
Getting shots no prerequisite for hip hop
And some of y’all going platinum really hip flops
Put yo hands in the air if you’re hip hop
And you won’t sell your soul to reach the hip top
Getting shots no prerequisite for hip hop
And some of y’all going platinum really hip not

Hip Hip is before rapping
Long before NWA started bussin’ caps’n
Long before Dre saw D and he started snap’n
Long before the major of DC yelled out entrapment
Hip Hop was peace
Til’ brother bought gats and clips
She was fine till our daughters start showin’ their hips
She was cool till cash did the take over
She was fair till labels did the rape over
The whole game need a make over
I’ve been doing this for years I ain’t no play soldier
They are all rappers are dogs just like Calvin Broadus
They call Kid Rock and emcee come on now that’s bogus
We losing our kids to the streets better take notice
Bling Bling eating their brain like a field of locust
In 10 years you’ll back and ask who wrote this
A visionary who can see w/o puffin’ smoke kid
Tune that knob on your vision man and get focus
Before the game disappear like hocus pocus
Tune that knob on your vision man and get focus
Before the game disappear like hocus pocus

Chorus
Put yo hands in the air if you’re hip hop
And some of y’all making moves need a hip stop
Getting shots no prerequisite for hip hop
And some of y’all going platinum really hip flops
Put yo hands in the air if you’re hip hop
And you won’t sell your soul to reach the hip top
Getting shots no prerequisite for hip hop
And some of y’all going platinum really hip not
