Rap Aint Rap by Virtue O.s.O Lyrics
[Intro]
I missed my daily dose of bean so I’m exuberant today (Okay)
Times are changin', it’s somethin' quite amazing
Life as what we know it evolving and days are fadin'
Times are changin', it’s somethin' quite amazing
Life as what we know it evolving and days are fadin'
[Verse 1]
As I’m wandering and pondering down memory lane
I see hoopties in the cut, I see a broke mustang
It’s still gorillas in the trunk shakin' the whole damn thing
As we cruising down on Lankershim and back all day
And participate in daily routine that I cannot mention
This the aftermath of ditchin' detention dodgin' suspension
And a deficit disordеr result in lack of attention
Link with the homiеs, it’s parking lot-pimpin' and endless sessions
Wait!
Now its 2020, shit different in present day
It’s lookin' apocalyptic and maybe we overstayed
Besides famine and the ‘Rona there’s more of to be afraid
My biggest single concern is that the game ain’t quite the same
As I tap in to my complex past we in the hoopty
Uncle playin' me the classics from Illmatic down to Snoop
He always had a thing for hip-hop now I’m yelling "Woopty woop"
We never had much growing up that’s why I’m fiendin' for the coupe
[Hook]
Rap ain’t rap no mo'
I love the melodies and all but it ain’t bars I feel retarded for real
Rap ain’t rap no mo'
This used to be a culture thing intended for minorities now it ain't nothin' so
Rap ain’t no mo'
I love the melodies and all but it ain’t bars I feel retarded for real
Rap ain’t rap no mo'
This used to be a culture thing intended for minorities now it ain't nothin' so
[Verse 2]
As the lil' niggas growin' and rising I'm misconstrued
Cause I’m a lil nigga too but they making it somethin' new
And this ain’t what I’m used to but I do what I got to do
If you feel I’m talking rude then the .44 goin "Pew"
Fuck you, I ain’t havin' it and y’all ain’t understandin' it
It’s hard for me to come grips with this and I can’t handle it
Y’all make it overnight, the last 10 years, yeah I been planning it
Strategic with my shit like Tyson’s hook I’m steady landing it, nothin' was ever handed (Yeah)
But I've been bout it, bout it
Always been a quiet cat but this I got to steady shout it
Rap just ain’t the same and I know it’s subject to change
But that’s exactly why I came in the game swerve in all lanes
And leave my presence sprayed
Ain’t no Latino did since Pun
And it’s all love but I’m the one
And I ain’t rappin' just to stunt
No disrespect enjoy your run and have ya fun but y’all my son, uh
I got my drum, I got my gun go blow for blow you one and done, ho
[Hook]
Rap ain’t rap no mo'
I love the melodies and all but it ain’t bars I feel retarded for real
Rap ain’t rap no mo'
This used to be a culture thing intended for minorities now it ain't nothin' so
Rap ain’t no mo'
I love the melodies and all but it ain’t bars I feel retarded for real
Rap ain’t rap no mo'
This used to be a culture thing intended for minorities now it ain't nothin' so
[Verse 3]
Oh, you thought this shit was done?
You used to have to spit way more than two verses that’s always standard
I’m wonderin' where the bar fell I can’t seem to find the answer
Not even my guy from Stanford, I can’t tolerate the slander
This culture gave me life so I’m on ya neck like a lanyard
See these niggas nothin' like me, I don’t rely on no hook
I rely on imagery and stories that leave most of y’all shook
I learned to read between the lines but yet we ain’t have no books
Opportunities around me there ain’t one I ain't' took
Just understand why I do this and all the shit I've been plottin'
I’m aiming to be the truest that never could be forgotten
I’m watchin' my back for Judas cause niggas make you a target
And hopin' you trip and stumble then they all up in your pockets
Look
[Outro]
Rap just ain’t rap
If I could I take it back
I miss the funk and the bap
It’s everything that we lack
And as a matter of fact
Don’t know then don’t give me dap
I missed my daily dose of bean so I’m exuberant today (Okay)
Times are changin', it’s somethin' quite amazing
Life as what we know it evolving and days are fadin'
Times are changin', it’s somethin' quite amazing
Life as what we know it evolving and days are fadin'
