2012 Rap Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, it's the rap up 2012, let's get this thing crackin'
I'mma tell y'all right now, this whole song gon' be ratchet
Common threw a shot at Drake, but he ain't wanna catch it
Giants won the Super Bowl, plus that whole Kony madness
Linsanity had New York on fire like wasabi
And you couldn't go anywhere without hearing about Blue Ivy
Congrats to Jay and B for adding to they crew

I mean why was y'all so shocked, ain't that what married people do?
And I'm still in my hoodie cause this violence ain't stopping
Hope we see justice for the youngin' Trayvon Martin

And Nicki dissed the fans, bands a make 'em dance
We got that iPhone 5, and ran to Instagram
Brian Mcknight, dumbest song of the year
Let me show how your pussy works, but he ain't get no volunteers

Kim and Kanye, huh, had us all tripping
Yeah, Mary J. Blige was out here singing for chicken
Y'all slipping, man
Bath salt zombies was all over the tubes
Same sex marriages, yes, Obama would approve
Drake met Chris Brown with a bottle in between
D'Angelo came back, LeBron got that ring
Made shouts to D Wade, but I ain't need to see
That Chris Bosh facial, on national TV

We doubted it at first, but then couldn't change the channel
We all got caught up, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta
Man Scrappy put them paws on 'em, Joseline look fake
But don't act like at least one time you ain't make a Stevie J face
Katie left Tom, they say Kristen was a cheater
Snoop Lion, but I'm high and I'm riding with a ho named Kesha
NFL had sub refs and that call was lob-sided
Lil' Wayne won't come to NY, Frank Ocean came out the closet
And the gun laws gotta get right, cause people living a crazy life
I send prayers out to Aurora, cause it was a dark night on that night
Olympics here, and Gabby's hair had made such an impression
Ay Mitt! we ain't tryna hear that shit and now you in that 47
And now it's Chad and Evelyn, but Ev ain't saying nothing
Man these hoes be acting up and these niggas be headbutting 'em

Prince Harry go hard, Jersey Shore is over
Wayne had two seizures, Drake got one diploma
2 Chainz came up, Kendrick went ham
2Pac came back, oh, that was a hologram?
Chris and Rihanna, hooked right back up
You going to jail now, did y'all see that uppercut on that bus?
Man, y'all gone get this work, you know how I get down
Can I get a 'Opp-opp-opp-opp-oppan Gangnam Style''
First Big Bird then Elmo then Wyclef on that bike
Hey 'Clef I'd hate to tell you, but that's that shit we don't like

Music had no balance, we ain't know which way to go
Either it was really fast or really, really slow
Yo, Lance Armstrong took that chance all on his own
And them people told him you can take your ball and go home

Eddie Murphy dropped Rosci, gave that white girl a turn
Re-election for Barack, now we getting two terms
Everybody voted and stayed in line
Now Barack's doing it all at the same damn time

Chick-fil-A don't support gays, if you ask me they jumped the gun
But that was yesterday and I ain't gay
So, I'm about to get me a number one

Cassie loves Diddy, no Twinkies, man, they was gone
The Mayans killed us off, but if you hear this song then they was wrong
The Lakers got Howard, but Mike Brown got fired
And we ain't buy that fake beef between Nicki and Mariah
Yeah, that came in handy
Then the east coast got hit hard by a hurricane named Sandy
I love y'all and y'all love the song, and that there is no question
But I'm in the booth, it's hot as hell, I popped the molly, I'm sweating (wooh)
Hell yeah, we still here, this been a crazy year
Man, I still can't believe that Whitney ain't here
So RIP to the peeps we lost, I'm being sincere
But I'm wrapping up these rap ups, y'all, it's been ten years
I'm gracefully gone bow out, but still write them hits
@SkillzVa on Twitter, hit me up with them tweets
I fuck with y'all, I love y'all, man, thanks for joining my team
Goodbye to 2012, what up to 2013?
Ya bish
