2010 Hip Hop Census Lyrics

[Chours: Alyssa Marie]

I know that it's hard
Hear the truth in a song when they know they tryna prove that it's wrong
I'll show em this far
Now it's up to them to keep goin and I hope they're gettin over that bar
I don't know why they don't try
They know I let no lie get by

[Verse 1: Alyssa Marie]

I'm on a mission
Killin off every wrong addition
In rap 'til it's back to the passion in every song I listen
No longer wishin for the better days
I'm sayin what I said I'd never say - Rap is wack in everyway
Except for way beneath the ground to what's under it
Where the roots are? But I know we too far and the hunger isn't
Punishin our stomachs cuz we fed with the bull
I put the truth in front of they're eyes instead of the wool
That's pulled up over'em it's not a trick
I know I get a lot of shit
But I ain't cotton pickin for these bitches it ain't politicin
It's the music.. but they slavin to it I'll take'em through it
From beginning to the end and they can choose the way to move with
They can save the music and I pray they do but they been stupid
In the past the way they actin I can say they prove it
I made a movement they ain't movin with
They'd rather sit and watch it hit the rocks and never doin shit
We losin it and everytime I try show'em any kind of
Sign to open every blinded eye they close'em every lie they widen no ones
Tryna see the side I represent
I been tryna get the sense inside their mind but then the line is never bent
But I been sent to do it from the music when I'm ventin through it
Gettin their attention never stop till they repentin to it
Im meant to prove it and I
Am gonnt do it usin mine show'em music can be beautiful and truly devine
But suicide is where it's headed you an I can be the medic
Or the infection.. who am I to get the credit
I been doin my part in it... savin it..but It's hard to get
Patient when I been breakin my ankles walkin this far to get
A break when I let em in...givin'em better vision
Ahead of the shit they been hearin but they never listen
Instead they turnin up the radio and turnin down the truth
So they're never gonna learn about the roots
[Chours: Alyssa Marie]

I know that it's hard
Hear the truth in a song when they know they tryna prove that it's wrong
I'll show em this far
Now it's up to them to keep goin and I hope they're gettin over that bar
I don't know why they don't try
They know I let no lie get by

I know that it's hard
Hear the truth in a song when they know they tryna prove that it's wrong
I'll show em this far
Now it's up to them to keep goin and I hope they're gettin over that bar
I don't know why they don't try
They know I let no lie get by

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
