(huh) my grandmomma was raised on a reservation
(huh) my great-grandmomma was, from a plantation
They sang - songs for inspiration
They sang - songs for relaxation
They sang - songs, to take their minds up off that
Fucked up situation
I am... yes I am... the descendant (yes yes)
Of those folks whose, backs got broke
Who, fell down inside the gunsmoke
(black people!) chains on they ankles and feet
I am descendants, of the builders of your street
(black people!) tenders to your cotton money
I am.. hip-hop
Its heavy metal for the black people
I am.. rock and roll (rock and roll.. rocknroll)
Been here forever!
They just aint let you know.. (ha!)

I said, elvis presley aint got no soul (huh)
Chuck berry is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the rolling stones
But they aint come up with that style on they own (uh-uh)
Elvis presley aint got no soullll (hell naw)
Little richard is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the rolling stones
But they aint come up with that shit on they own (nah-ah)

Guess thats just the way shit goes
You steal my clothes and try to say they yos (yes they do)
Cause its a show filled with pimps and hoes
Tryin to take everything that you made or control (there they go)
Elvis presley aint got no soullll
Bo diddley is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the rolling stones
But they aint the first place the credit belongs

Say whoahhhh-oh (dont take it) oooh-weee-ohhh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (dont take it) oooh-weee-ohhh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (jimi hendrix say) oooh-weee-ohhh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (albert king and) oooh-weee-ohhh
(and motown)

(huh) I aint tryin to diss
But I dont be tryin to fuck with limp bizkit
The fuck is on your mind?
When I get down in my zone
I be rockin bad brains and fishbone
I aint tryin to slow your groove
But that aint the way Im tryin to move
I dont turn on korn to get it on;
I be playin jimi hendrix til the dawn
Thats my word is bond
Sittin up on my front lawn
Got the volume turned to ten
Playin albert king the best again (black)
When the mornin in the cooker
Got to turn on some john lee hooker
When I want some rock and roll
Go to otis redding to get some soul

Say, james brown got plenty of soul
James brown like to rock and roll
He can do all the shit fo sho
That elvis presley could never know (black people)
Said, kenny g aint got no soullll
John coltrane is rock and roll (uh-huh)
You may dig on the rolling stones
But they could never ever rock like nina simone

Say whoahhhh-oh (dont take it) oooh-wee-ohh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (dont take it) oooh-weee-ohhh
(black music) whoahhhh-oh (dont take it) oooh-weee-ohhh
