Hip Hop Worldwide by The Literates Lyrics
[Hook]
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Shock the world cousin cause hip hop remains
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Hip... hip hop
[Verse 1]
It all started with a sample and a drum beat
First came the DJ's then came the emcees
Graff writers getting fame with those spray cans
The illest b-boys taught us how to break dance
We wouldn't be if it wasn't for the N.Y
The L train legendary to the trained eye
Got the freshest boombox let my tape play
Press dub get the latest mix on Kday
All we had was a couple mics and turntables
All it took for these dudes at these record labels
Now we big time partying like rockstars
We can't live without hot women and hot cars
We've come a long way trying to make these songs pay
From Jay Z back to Roxanne Shante
Pop that champagne, it's time to celebrate
We takin' hip hop worldwide, make way
[Hook]
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Shock the world cousin cause hip hop remains
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Hip... hip hop
[Verse 2]
They said it wouldn't last, said it couldn't make it
Now it's all around the planet and they can't take it
We have expanded from beat boxin' in the streets
Now we in the studio straight makin' beats
We have evolved from tagging walls
Writers now have exhibits bombin' for a better cause
We walked away from watchin' the gun spray
We stepped on the catwalk, now we own the runway
We even moved from the cities to the suburbs
Took it to the south where it's hot in the summers
En espanol nos vamos international
We bilingual rockin' for the cash flow
Now you see this gig is quite limitless
Hip hop has changed from a lifestyle to business
But either way we always look to innovate
Never disappear from the underground we elevate
[Hook]
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Shock the world cousin cause hip hop remains
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Hip... hip hop
[Verse 3]
It is so infinite hip hop we live in it
Worldwide I never will get sick of this
The sound reaches from mountains to beaches
Without reasons we spread like diseases
There's no end we change trends like seasons
Turn it up listen till your ears start bleeding
That's when you know you're infected by the rhythm
The artist of this artwork spits lyrical venoms
From the seventies through the new millennium
We break all laws, stand clear while we bending them
That's right we taken over by the masses
Music is our soul, we never lose the passion
[Hook]
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Shock the world cousin cause hip hop remains
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Hip... hip hop
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Shock the world cousin cause hip hop remains
Worldwide with the real hip hop
Hip... hip hop
[Verse 1]
