[Faded] I do it for hip hop I do it for hip hop [Ludacris] Now this is what they call poetry in motion My soul bleeds on the paper, heart screems with emotion This my daily devotion, the verses stay deaper then the ocean So hip hop you owe me a promotion Yea I do a little boasting and bragging Whats all the commotion and nagging about? Cuz Im Still the Champ in the south Cuz rappers get in the booth and I keep dragging them out For they fire at these pink slips im handing them out Cuz this is theatre of the mind Considerate a sign of whats to come next My moneys just fine bank filled with dumb checks Terrorist threat flow, proceed to drop bombs like mr.pump flex But I don't do it for the money, I do it from the heart I do it with the beatbox, I did it from the start I do it for the DJ's, I do it for the chart's The fan gel flow,luda do it cuz it's art I do it for the fans, I do it on command I do it for the front row, I do it for the stands I spit it for the hood, I do it for the block It's Nine Years old, I did it for HIP HOP! [Chorus] I don't do it for the cars and the fancy drops I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... And I don't do it for the chains and the flashing rocks I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... [K-Atomic] I do it for HIP HOP and never ever stop Till I get copped, popped, or arrested and locked up Not for the lowrider with the chrome T-Top Not for the money that can cop any shop Not for any Hot Mamas, But nonstop change like obama No need for drama yo I do it for my soul To hold and control what I can and thats the goal To puncture a hole in the bag and leak the movement Improvement thats the destination, provin the obligation Chainging the population, making the situation Better now then ever, n' vow to educating The hood to good choices and getting a place in Society with the things we facing, while they hating We racing to like the masons all the way to the top Cleaning up the game from the same damn thing Cats faking and acting lame just to attract fame But lyrically we react and blast them with words not gats We (w)rap words around them like an island on a map [removed]As I put on my fitted cap, I think about the music And why we do it and how we do use it To be a nuisance to the common mind And it's time for the whole world to see me with a blinding shine[/removed] And I'll never flop or fake with any of them props Cuz I don't do it for nothing other then HIP HOP! [Chorus] I don't do it for the cars and the fancy drops I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... And I don't do it for the chains and the flashing rocks I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP... I do it for HIP HOP...
