[Chorus: The Grouch]<br>I`m about to give you that I love hip-hop feeling<br>I`m about to give it to you<br>I said I`m about to give you that I love hip-hop feeling<br>I`m about to give it to ya (repeat)<br><br>[The Grouch]<br>The same one I had when I first bumped Tribe<br>Or the vibe that you felt taking that Bizarre Ride<br>I`m gonna put it in the mix for your own ears to hear<br>I was a young buck then and feel I`ve got a lot of years to go<br>I`m from the O, I felt it through $hort to Hiero<br>Had my Walkman on everywhere that I`d travel<br>I`d always babble and quote what other people wrote<br>Use it as a theme or rule and that was cool for me<br>Worked it like a tool for me<br>They thought I was a fool to be<br>White and writing raps<br>They thought that I was acting<br>But I was just stacking up my skill being real<br>Feeling how I feel and expressin` how I`m stressin`<br>Now it`s my profession and I`m wanting y`all to know<br>The love that I`ve got for this hip-hop only grows.<br><br>[Chorus]<br><br>[PSC]<br>The best that we can`s better than a lot of them<br>When I meet a Legends fan it`s just like another friend<br>It`s the feeling that we give<br>The music that we live<br>Negative positive, how you live how you live<br>Positive memory of what you see, I try to give and be<br>Inspiration for those who try to come after them or we<br>Bass lines that pull you in from outside<br>Or inside or online, when we rhyme it`s funtime!<br>Hands up, stand up, watch me deliver<br>With delivery and presence, surpassing your ability<br>Tranquility is silence when violence dominates<br>If you`re the murderers why would I buy the tape?<br>Self incrimination, self destruction to the nation<br>Fascination with this death? Oh my I`m losing patience<br>I got into this music cause I feel y`all listening to radio<br>Damn they tryin` 2 kill y`all<br><br>[Chorus]<br><br>[Aesop]<br>I remember the first time I heard a dope ass rhyme<br>Yes a fresh ass verse<br>Or the first time on this earth<br>I had this thirst<br>To give it to ya like birth<br>A piece of my soul more precious than gold<br>I`m in the crowd man<br>I`m not too old to give it up<br>If it`s tight I can get wit it<br>Rush to the store and go get it<br>Bump it if it`s slumpin`, hope the lyric`s sayin` somethin`<br>Intellectual, make the beat sound so flexible<br>I give it to ya like a piece of my mind<br>Give breath over this beat with mic control refined<br>Give ya substance when you have nothin` to hold<br>You can feel this like you`re in the front row!!!<br><br>[Chorus]<br><br>[Murs]<br>It`s like oooo weee<br>You`d be a fool not to feel this beat knocking out your trunk<br>Like Mike Tyson with a steel fist<br>While most of these MCs was out on a field trip<br>My crew stayed in the lab<br>See we never had permission to slip<br>My mission to rip every mic that I`m on<br>Rap niggas being nice<br>But I remember last year<br>They wasn`t liking my song<br>Now I got a couple fans<br>I`m making cool hits like ice in a bong<br>Got their bitch on my dick<br>She looks nice in a thong<br>And I`m about to give her that<br>"I love this cock feeling"<br>And that may be fucked up<br>But I`m right when I`m wrong<br>That`s don`t get along with funny style rap chaps<br>Who lack the same feeling<br>That I had way back and still keep to this day<br>When I used to stay up late just to dub Tech and Sway<br>But now I got my own wax and I can`t get no play
