BET
2009 BET Hip Hop Awards - Cypher 2
[Verse 1: Wale]
Been a leader, 4.3 speed
And it's flyer than the Hail Mary y'all can't breath in
And when I'm gone the freaks always need me
They wait on my return, like I'm Vai Sikahema
Dig it, I'ma fire up the reefer
Keep a dub in the glove like GP
Uh, you see me I'm DC
And my net worth, like VC
I went from [?] running Jet sweeps
To wings by the fleet, got [?] by the fleet
This is no flee, look at this, me
Y'all Ryan Leaf [?]
Ha, and it's not a dang thing
Black Yukon know what the hell I mean
And DC is like a draft lottery
'Cause your skills don't matter if you under six feet

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Look, look
Nip' Hussle, dope flow like yayo
I'm a boss, nothin' move 'less I say so
I'm a business, you a ***** on a payroll
Here come recession, there go your J-O-
B, while we fly high
On more chrome than ever every time I ride by
**** and ********, tell you ****** no lie
From a hood so hot it's heat waves in the sky
Remember, every day was like the Fourth of July
At war, so you had to keep your ****** in your ride
Lean low, blowin' **** in the sky
Watchin' out for blue cars driven by white guys
Now it's like white clouds and blue skies
Dumpin' out the ***** through the roof of my ride
European grille with the leathers inside
Ain't a ***** this fly comin' out the Westside
Huh, huh, yeah
[Verse 3: Gsan]
Yeah, yo
Ni safari na muziki, tunasafiri lakini hatufiki huko
Pamoja na shida zote tunavumilia
Kuanzia nyumbani kwetu Tanzania hadi cypher ya BET
Mungu akubariki, siku moja tutafanikiwa
Ikiwa naweza tu kujiendeleza mimi niko sawa
Ninaingia kila mahali, hata wakati sivai tai
Nitapiga rap kila mahali hata ikiwa ni mahali pabaya
Na popote nilipofika, sitajifanya kuwa mtu ambaye mimi sio
Katika safari hii na muziki, usiogope kupiga teke
Unaweza kufika, lakini tena unaweza usiweze
Unaweza kusifiwa na huenda usifurahiwe
Unaweza kuaibika na unaweza kuisumbua yote
Mungu ndiye nahodha na mlinzi wa meli hii
X Plastaz, Tanzania, Holland, Brixton, Brussels
Stockholm, Oslo, Gabon na Brazil
Ni sisi, na safari na muziki ndio chanzo

[Verse 4: KRS-One]
You ain't messing with the teacher, let me sum this up
Every time I come around these other cats is running up
Now I don't mind till I hear KRS is what?
Then I say to myself, "This cat is dumb as ****"
Or maybe he's just mad 'cause he's young and he's stuck
Stuck in the hood, good, 'cause my **** is up
You ain't funny, I'm crock you like pottery, man
You ain't a rapper, you a reject from Def Comedy Jam
That man there, that's the man
DJ Premier, I MC, don't rap
We take it back to return of the boom bap
Let me take you all the way to '94
This is what you came here for
BET, the rap awards
We rappin', look, this from the Lord
You gotta overstand it's all in your heart
Forget that chart, man, get wit'cha art
KRS-One, look, I'm off the top
I'll put rappers down like that Nike sign
You gotta overstand man Nike sign
Put the camera down so they can feel my rhymes
