Verse 1
I knew rap would never die
Back in the days,
I knew rap would never die
Verse 2
Bbm
The year is 2004, people talk about war
I had to hit the floor when
the bombs began to pour
Ten minutes ago I was mad 'cause
my stomach was grumbling
Verse 3
Now the whole world is crumbling
the street gettin' crushed
This went on for twenty minutes
then the whole world hushed
I couldn't see shit but I could feel
myself breathin'
Damn, I'm still kickin' but
Verse 4
I'm just not believin'
I'm off on my mission
Ain't no stars in the sky so
it ain't no wishin'
I wonder, I wonder,
I just can't understand

Bbm
Why am I the last man?
Verse 5
I knew rap would never die
Back in the days,

I knew rap would never die

Back in the days,
Verse 6
my head won't stop
Where's my moms and my pops
and what about hip- hop
I'm pickin' up things
that could be of use to me
To build a makeshift crib where
Hollywood used to be
Verse 7
it ain't no blunts
I ain't had no ass in five
years and eight months
Five more years pass and I still survive
And I'm through with wonderin'
Verse 8
who's still alive
And I hear this kid singin'
a hip- hop song
He said, "That's the way
it is and it's like that"
I said, "Yo kid c'mere, where you
learn that song at?"
Verse 9
the hip- hop game
I'm eight years old and
Rakim is my name"
He said, "Yo I'll take you to
him, come follow me
Verse 10
But first you gotta prove that you can MC"
him piss in his pants
With tears in his eyes,
he grabbed me by the hand
And then we ran,
Verse 11
ten miles across the sand
dig deep underground
Where I can hear the sound of
the big bass pound
I wasn't really sure but I swore
we smelled blunt smoke
No joke loc, well can I get a toke?
Verse 12
he handed me a spliff
And out behind the wall came
Tash and E- Swift
They took me to a freestyle
session it was on
I knew hip- hop would never be gone
Five hundred hip- hop deep
Yo, we cool in 2014, Alkaholiks still rulin'
