Lyrics

In H.I.P H.O.P. I Trust

I grew up on it
Been down with it since the beginning 
It spoke to me and for me
Hip Hop today
Hip Hop tomorrow 
Hip Hop forever 



Ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust
The boom bap in my life man it's a must
My way to communicate and converse
Till it's all said and done
In Hip Hop I Trust

For every cold beat that I crush
For every mic and 16 that I bust
It'll never get old man it's a rush
Till I'm gone in Hip Hop I Trust 




Today's topic
In Hip Hop I Trust 
It's a real culture
Not just mics we bust

B-Boys DJs and the Graffiti
The Emcee with the mindset to feed the needy

With a heavy plate of Knowledge Wisdom and Understanding
This world we're living in today can be demanding

On the Gap Band tip
A brother is outstanding
Came through it all
Like Goodie Mob
I'm still standing

Stayed true to myself
From beginning to end 
Mad County was the start 
We was in it to win

Ask me about it all
And I'll do it again
We made our life experience
With the paper and pen

Lived every word
From every street and every curve
A-Town is the city I'm from
If you ain't heard

Anderson I-N-D
The heart of the Midwest 
It's way more than corn in my area
You can bet


Ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust
The boom bap in my life man it's a must
My way to communicate and converse
Till it's all said and done
In Hip Hop I Trust

For every cold beat that I crush
For every mic and 16 that I bust
It'll never get old man it's a rush
Till I'm gone in Hip Hop I Trust 



Hip Hop, it saved my life man
You wouldn't understand
Cause you're just a fan
Running round town with the caravan
Wannabes 
Who turned into a bunch of Stan's

Thinking that's they know about this thing of ours
Cause you can recite some of your favorite rapper's bars

Cause you like to wear some of ya favorite rapper's clothes 
Cause you dislike some of ya favorite rapper's foes

You're out of touch with us 
Cause it's more than that
You been thinking from the start
That this is just rap

This is really our life 
That's actual fact 
It's entertainment
And at times it's more than that 

We got beats, rhymes, and life
Stress, struggle and strife
Striving to stay alive
Managing to survive

We got a story to tell
Let me give you today's agenda 
The first time I heard the Boom Bap
I can remember 

Pinetree Village
Out of a project window 
Playing kickball with the homies and kinfolk

Took a toll on my brain 
My life ain't been the same
The love affair began
It's here I will remain



Ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust
The boom bap in my life man it's a must
My way to communicate and converse
Till it's all said and done
In Hip Hop I Trust

For every cold beat that I crush
For every mic and 16 that I bust
It'll never get old man it's a rush
Till I'm gone in Hip Hop I Trust 


Ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust
The boom bap in my life man it's a must
My way to communicate and converse
Till it's all said and done
In Hip Hop I Trust

For every cold beat that I crush
For every mic and 16 that I bust
It'll never get old man it's a rush
Till I'm gone in Hip Hop I Trust 




Oh yeah
And another thing
For all you niggas that don't do hip hop
Don't get on video or ya songs talking about hip hop
Cause 9 times out of 10 y'all don't know what the fuck y'all talking about 
Talk about that bullshit rap you do
And stay the fuck out of mine
