OG Hardcore (LP MIX)

from #StoriesAboutSongs · host RedefineHipHop

OG Hardcore It’s high stakes, time waits for no man nor primate That one point won two fives like 9/8ths Nine days, nine nights, you can try nine ways I’m non-fazed, planning paybacks like Shante Like Pompeii, I burn it down, it’s been long day Long year, long life, living the wrong wrong Some say, but I don’t lend an ear to the hearsay Here’s a way to evaluate the choice in a fair way He gained green, made teams with some ragtag dreams No caffeine, he’s fueled by the power the past brings Brass rings to sad scenes, contrast, cache clean Delete the obscene, but still a glitch like split screen Getting a little bit dark for this hip scene Lightning, struck twice, left and the right wing Frightening, I need a new method of flight The effort to write, for every day that’s left in my life Like Too Short, I just wanna rap like me My true thought is when I’m a track, I’m free And that can be like medicine, practically Magically, my head has been a factory Writing rhyme after rhyme, that’s a fact for free The future’s bright like Edison, No…actually Meant to say Latimer, had to make that clear Break that fear, ya know I had to take that there 'I got lines in my mind smoothly attached' That’s a Raheem quote, Eliminator of rap From ’86, the year the Super Rapper was back My math is exact, that’s the path I took for the track H​​ow’s that? A little taste of OG Hardcore And Art-form, like back when I was spinning on cardboard OR hard floors, or just watching Muppets or Star Wars His heart pours, yeah, open-shut like car doors
