Final Outlaw – “Hip Hop 4ever” (Hip Hop Forever) Lyrics

Verse 1:

I represent the 212, the 718
The boogie down BX, all the way to the BK
Graffiti writers hitting up they tags on the freeway
My broken hearted people in the hood is where we stay
So everybody gather around, cause if we gonna go down
We ain’t leaving without making a sound
Yo I’m the wrong dude to be sleeping on
Just peep the song, I’m the reason you’ve been waiting for so freaking long
Ill, every time that I spill
I don’t have to lie about cars, install gold fronts on my grill
I take the train and I ain’t ashamed
I remember back in the day I’d have to rap to collect me some change
They said Hip Hop is dead but instead it evolved
And anybody, who ever criticized it was wrong
Even those who hate it the most use slang when they talk
So whether you like it or not you’re still playing a part
Forever

Hook / Chant:

Hip Hop forever! (Repeated chant throughout the song)

Verse 2:

I got mad love for peeps taking the 1-2-3 trains
The A-B-C trains, the G-E-D trains
The Z, the 4-5-6-and 7
Dash 11, open late 24/7
What you know about Dominican cabs?
What you know about crown fried chicken no napkins in the bag?
Every girl I ever loved was a victim of rape
I watched the world fall apart through a fire escape
Everybody in the city relates
Every one of you knows what its like to have your boss spit on your face
Getting home late, day dreaming scrubbing your plate
Reminiscing on the past when you made your mistakes
But you must never forget that it is never too late
As long as you stay alive there’s still a chance for change
In my brain, I see nothing but visions of pain
And I’ll never be the same n***a never again
Cause I’m an Outlaw

Hook / Chant:

Hip Hop forever! (Repeated chant throughout the song)

Verse 3:

I dwell amongst kings in the dungeons of rap
And dine with the finest to ever be heard on a track
I pioneer the resurrection of rap
A fearless general giving the signal for a full frontal attack
Check it, I was raised amongst the poor
I know the pain of what it means to have to sleep on the floor
I only live just to settle the score
On the front-lines with my broken sword smiling ready for war
* Un Puertoriqueño, El Salvadoreño representando mi pueblo
Con el sangre de Dios adentro mi cuerpo
Y si no tienes esperanza en mi sueno
Entonces tu eres nada mas que cabeza de huevo *

* (Translation: A Puerto Rican/Salvadorian, representing my village with the blood of God in my body, and if you don’t have faith in my dream then you are nothing more than an egg head)

Cont. I had a vision that I spoke to Allah
He said on his spare time, he has stare competitions with God
Create your own reality when you think of it hard
Just believe and watch your perceptions begin to take form
Cause this is Hip Hop

Hook / Chant:

Hip Hop forever! (Repeated chant throughout the song)
