Pete Rock
Hip Hop Never Left
[Intro]
I am Les your highness
That’s right
My n***as The Beatnuts we’re shaking
Pete Rock

[Hook]
Yow you hear a lot of chatter, it’s not real talk
Hip Hop never left New York
Still getting money, still holding down the fort
Hip Hop never left New York

[Verse 1]
Worldwide Beezus, king in the eyes of Don Beavers
Smoke crowd louder than Nas speakers
New money smell, call it fresh bread
They still love me, funny that’s what my ex said
I don’t fuck with you neither, you the yard weed
Me, I be sativa, beat beater, leak eater
Flow so automatic like moronic
Terminator screen on the optics
Slice steaks at the table with grapes
Loving that hate, thinking how to double the take
Triple the weight
Heavy like my god Dwight Myers
The bang bang boogie, jump up inside riots
I’m quite biased
My game will ride like some white bikers
With leather vest on my rep is Telfon
Black step fresh on the block like an excon
Treasure me forever like your mom [?]
[Verse 2]
Aye yo Psych on the beat, Deck just body him
Combined techniques and styles like a karate flick
Karate top a brick call me the karate kid
[?] clip
Guards are frail when my soldiers start the L
You should go far for real cause you ain’t got no heart to kill
This ain’t no APMD you gots to chill
Well listen to me son I will serve you like a foreign grill
I’m getting rich while you feeding
And I don’t get mad no more I get even
Snake n***as I’m reading like a teleprompter
So legal I’m a fly their head like a helicopter
I puff ganja like a rasta in Kingston
There’s another speaker knocking like soccer
It’s kicking out the music box
Shout the rapper gang
We hit the competition like a pit vs a cocker spaniel

[Verse 3]
Uh, sit here comes the flame thrower
By the way he hold his weapon you can tell he a pro
Hell been on a mission be there for the ammunition
Go put yourself in that position if you brave enough
Light it up and watch the whole thing glow
Hit you with the rhythm that make your body move slow
Rhymes we throw like hardcore knees and elbows
Is it gonna make a man I really don’t know
In constant Negan flip like I know Judo
Perform the powerslam whilst the whole spa blow
So don’t be slow, beats and lines by kilos
This shit here hot like my hand is silo
Still feasting cheese like the honeys below
Cause I’m [?] rhyming and you’re just so so
[?] screaming out for promo
For these wack ass rappers should get smacked for your flow
[Hook]
You hear a lot of chatter, it’s not real talk
Hip Hop never left New York
Still getting money, still holding down the fort
Hip Hop never left New York
You hear a lot of chatter, it’s not real talk
Hip Hop never left New York
Still getting money, still holding down the fort
Hip Hop never left New York

[Outro]
Monumental Hip Hop shit
Inspectah Deck rocks the house
[?] rocks the house
Beat Nazi rocks the house
Jeru rock the house
Money Ryan rocks the house
Staten Island Island rocks the house
Brooklyn rocks the house
Queens rocks the hose
New York king you don’t stop
