Dominant 1 - Resurrected Lyrics
(Intro) Once upon a time hiphop died, but we were there to resurrect it,Don't you agree? We resurrected, HiphopVerse 1You love to hear the story again and againOf how we all started way back thenWhen it was beat box, beat boys and gold chainsDjs, and a pile of graffiti on city trainsBefore the record dealsBefore the downloadsBefore the money-cash-hoesBefore the art was the scene of glitter of the glitterNow everybody kinda missing the big pictureFocused on the Emmy's instead of giving credIf this was 1996 you will be deadRappers think, they're synonymous to characters in moviesFixated on fiction no wonder they never moved meI understand why Nas'ted an album about itI'll god damned how the hell did we allow thisNow we back hiphop resuscitatedWe were almost too late thank Jah that we made itHookWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itVerse 2Once upon a rhyme I pondered about my grindIt was 1999 all I wanted to do was sign, a deal'Cause when I read The SourceAll I saw was the flossBeing the boss is what seemed realI was only 16 at the momentMCees were slaved, mentally chained and I didn't know itAll I saw was the lifestyle Live It Up Go WildNow I'm a grown man I know nowThis goes out to the Viacom terrorWe are the new breed revolutionary eraWe taking back what started in 73Shout out to the audience who feeling me speakI do it for the kids and those who come afterI'm teaching the skills of a craft that I masteredHiphop is like welling; timeless and pricelessAnd it's preserved with the strength of my micHookWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect itWhen hiphop died we were there to resurrect it
