Together: Hip Hop you don't stop
Together: Stand tall and stand strong

VERSE 1
[Tigz]
Now where do we begin?
The middle or the end
In the heart of the bronx planted four elements
But then again where to start,
The concrete or the park
A seed that's reaching to be a tree
A rose that's blooming in the dark
[MikeAll]
The spark of my journey was Dad's cassette tapes
knew goodness was in store before he'd press play
that was still passive state listening in deep thought
Mike's lyric lift off karaoke Kris Kross
[Tigz]
I was lost in the lingo - lyrics - colours ice T
Bombing bridges with my colours -
Khakis, Ewings, White Tee
Laying cardboard on the floor
Collecting pages from the Source
Following all the Roots
And saw the truth and said I want more
[MikeAll]
You're to young said mom prohibit hitting venues
Muchmusic Rapcity brought it to my living room
Little kid over the moon meeting Dan-e-o on bus
who'da thunk in the future on tracks we'd hook up
-HOOK-
Tigz: Yo, my man MikeAll you got it going on
MikeAll: You know without a doubt I've been down for so long
Tigz: You've been saying
MikeAll: I've been saying
Together: It's more than just a song!
Together: Hip Hop you don't stop
Together: Stand tall and stand strong
MikeAll: Yo, my man Tigz you got it going on
Tigz: You know without a doubt I've been down for so long
MikeAll: You've been saying
Tigz: I've been saying
Together: It's more than just a song!
Together: Hip Hop you don't stop
Together: Stand tall and stand strong
VERSE 2
[MikeAll]
Fast Forward to high school times grueling growing up
But Rap in my cup fueled we to never self destruct
Stuck in depression blessed HipHop intervention
As I "Exit" forest section K-Os gave we new direction
[Tigz]
Can I mention it was tempting to get cornrows and start limping
Cuz the Jane Finch that was in me
Needed guidance and expression
Then I got out of my burrow saw the piece at Midas Touch
Boogie Brats, Elicser Elliott opened my mind up
[MikeAll]
Up and away yo this man's DNA
Stay embed with HipHop mic stands my vertebrate
Backbone standing straight Maestro, Mono paved my way
To the next gen I'll say what you adding to our space
[Tigz]
Cuz its never too late
To put a plate up on the table
Your flavor’s unique, you’re the author of your fable
Remember: HipHop's for yourself but it’s also for the people
HipHop is for yourself but it’s also for the people
