I Am Hip Hop (Move the Crowd) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sole]
Well it's 7:45, oh yeah, we'll see who's the bigger man
Other dead men walking- 4 PM, I heard a dead man talking
He said it's inconsequential, forget it- it's nice
I'll always get into harlots Ville with this knife, get away
I don't want to buy you a drink, forget to piss on your pride, little girl
Yeah stepped on your feet, you want to eat that dirty white how what ya looking at
The cap bartender, tender me some sex on the beach
Before I reach out and impediment your speech
Once I get 'em in my reach, unprecedented impeach
He saw a double crossed dance illuminated by disco lights
Unseen unspoken in a scene provoking a thought provoking scene
In a smoke scene interrupted by intervening disco lights
Ain't nobody dancing, ain't no music everybody still
I can only see one man, he looks good enough to kill
So I must muscle my way through dustless of imposers
10:30 to ten feet away, five fingers surround the object of intrusion
I don't need to see his eyes, I feel his jacket, then his shirt
Then his skin, then his kidneys, then out
Then blood ,then blood, then blood
Then neck, then blood, then blood, then blood
Chest, then I see his girl watching over him
Like she is gonna cry his little ass back to life
This is my only way I know, so I must remove the knife
We eye to eye now, goodbye to his life
Fool, I told you I would get my five dollars back tonight
[Verse 2: Slug]
Another night (night), another dollar (dollar)
Another crowd I've enlisted to make holler (now scream)
Another I really wish this crowd was a little bit larger
Excuse me mister promoter, could I bother you for a couple of bottles
Of premiums placed on the stage for me and my brethren?
You know beverages, intoxication balance and leverage
Guessing this is that point where I grab the mic and make my point
Kick my flow make 'em say hoo (hoo!), blow the lid off the joint
Ahem, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
And then they befriended, I love it when this situation happens
This the type of crowd that build self esteem
Come 10:30 is was I finally felt that sting

[Interlude: Slug & (Doseone)]
Yo yo yo yo (he's got a knife)
Yo what the fucks going on right here
Calm the fuck down calm that shit down (that's blood)
Check check get 'em up get off get off

[Hook: Slug]
I shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up to
[Verse 3: Doseone]
Sorry, just alcohol
Thanks, anyhow- its just been one of those days- alcohol only?
How can you not sell fucking cigarettes at a bar? (Excuse me)
But I wonder where those two wild women are
I've gotten off one minute they're all ears and big eyes
Then they're wandering off
To bark up the next man's tree (Excuse me!)
Thank you Jesus Christ this place is...
Now that's a foxy young lady
If she'd only put some clothes on, (excuse) enough
I’ll stay put and just vend in the meat market hmmm hmmm hmmm
Who are these?- that shit's pretty dope
But I can hardly hear his vocals and the bass is too loud
Actually this kid's nasty
Too bad I can't hear the words (excuse me!)
Damn like he couldn't have just walked pass- oh and the stare too
See everybody want to show you
How big their and how little they think
I be if- that's the chick Jim was trying to get on- she's alright
Man it's hot as balls in here, why did I wear this?
(screaming) He's got a knife, is that blood
Oh my God I've never been this
That's blood he's dying, gone

[Verse 4: Alias]
Oh my God, twisting and turning, what's that sensation of burning
Yearning to witness some spoken words but now I'm learning
That I can't step into the outer limits of my abode without
Kids acting hard staring glaring, yes I'm in the daring mode
My girl debated me going out at this nocturnal time
She said I should just chill, stay in the house and write a rhyme
I disagreed and ventured out, totally against all of her wishes
Stated that if I went to this particular venue, I would later be needing stitches
But my manhood in the need to ease my mind has forced me out
To check and see what this up-and-coming lyricist is all about
Arrived at the show at 9:45 and they're saying these kids are live
Waited in line to pay my fee to take my entrance to this dive
Already performing up on stage, these kids outside smoke deuce
The rhymesayer had the crowd by the balls while up in the DK booth
Final manipulation is complex in the body of its sound
Mesmerized in higher elevated on the shoulder, I feel a pound
My right side and his right side connected accidental
He's staring in my vision and taking, said something about knocking out dentals
Then strided out slowly, I paid no attention to his words
Cuz pursuing any challenge by forth at this point would be absurd
I saw no familiar faces in the sea of goatees and baseball caps
Which is fine with me, cause this ocean is filled with mindless saps
Just then I heard a scream behind me, there was quite a commotion
I felt something tap my back once, then repeated in this motions
Oh my God twisting and turning, what's that sensation of burning
Yearning to just witness some spoken word but now I'm learning
I should have listen to my girl when she spoke up and debated
If I had then, my body and soul would not be separated (oh my God!)
[Hook: Slug]
I shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another blood, you knew I would, I feel you should
Adapt can't run forever, trapped death stepped up
To shed another
I feel you should

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 [?]
