Living Legends - Gift Wrap Lyrics
[Chorus: The Grouch]I'm about to give you that I love hip-hop feelingI'm about to give it to youI said I'm about to give you that I love hip-hop feelingI'm about to give it to ya (repeat)[The Grouch]The same one I had when I first bumped TribeOr the vibe that you felt taking that Bizarre RideI'm gonna put it in the mix for your own ears to hearI was a young buck then and feel I've got a lot of years to goI'm from the O, I felt it through $hort to HieroHad my Walkman on everywhere that I'd travelI'd always babble and quote what other people wroteUse it as a theme or rule and that was cool for meWorked it like a tool for meThey thought I was a fool to beWhite and writing rapsThey thought that I was actingBut I was just stacking up my skill being realFeeling how I feel and expressin' how I'm stressin'Now it's my profession and I'm wanting y'all to knowThe love that I've got for this hip-hop only grows.[Chorus][PSC]The best that we can's better than a lot of themWhen I meet a Legends fan it's just like another friendIt's the feeling that we giveThe music that we liveNegative positive, how you live how you livePositive memory of what you see, I try to give and beInspiration for those who try to come after them or weBass lines that pull you in from outsideOr inside or online, when we rhyme it's funtime!Hands up, stand up, watch me deliverWith delivery and presence, surpassing your abilityTranquility is silence when violence dominatesIf you're the murderers why would I buy the tape?Self incrimination, self destruction to the nationFascination with this death? Oh my I'm losing patienceI got into this music cause I feel y'all listening to radioDamn they tryin' 2 kill y'all[Chorus][Aesop]I remember the first time I heard a dope ass rhymeYes a fresh ass verseOr the first time on this earthI had this thirstTo give it to ya like birthA piece of my soul more precious than goldI'm in the crowd manI'm not too old to give it upIf it's tight I can get wit itRush to the store and go get itBump it if it's slumpin', hope the lyric's sayin' somethin'Intellectual, make the beat sound so flexibleI give it to ya like a piece of my mindGive breath over this beat with mic control refinedGive ya substance when you have nothin' to holdYou can feel this like you're in the front row!!![Chorus][Murs]It's like oooo weeeYou'd be a fool not to feel this beat knocking out your trunkLike Mike Tyson with a steel fistWhile most of these MCs was out on a field tripMy crew stayed in the labSee we never had permission to slipMy mission to rip every mic that I'm onRap niggas being niceBut I remember last yearThey wasn't liking my songNow I got a couple fansI'm making cool hits like ice in a bongGot their ***** on my dickShe looks nice in a thongAnd I'm about to give her that"I love this ***** feeling"And that may be *****ed upBut I'm right when I'm wrongThat's don't get along with funny style rap chapsWho lack the same feelingThat I had way back and still keep to this dayWhen I used to stay up late just to dub Tech and SwayBut now I got my own wax and I can't get no play
