(Zion whispers) I got a bird's eye view
(Girl in the background) Hip hop, is so 

many things you can say about it, 

know what I mean?
Like, on the real, hip hop is like, just, 

beautiful
Hip hop is life

[Verse 1]
From the first time I saw you, 

infatuation
Pulled to the side to provide 

conversation
Wild reputation but you were so cool
Any old fool knew that you was a 

jewel
Ghetto to ghetto, your influence 

settled
More hardcore than r&b but not metal
Blacker than a kennel, you made me 

feel mellow
Introduction to my life, I said hello
Meet me in a minute 'cause I gotta 

finish school
Some of my homies, they never finished 

puffin' woo's
Stayin' up late, always studying the 

tapes
The world watched you fall in love, I 

guess fate had a,
Grip on my mind state, I wanna 

rhyme, wait
I fell in line, getting signed at the 

wrong gates
And so my heart braced at first for real
But I would still be lovin' you 'cause 

deep is what I feel
 [bad word] 
I got a bird's eye view (hip hop...the 

realness)
I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu
I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu

[Verse 2]
She's the one I always count on, one 

that wouldn't leave me
One that's in the city always written 

in graffiti
One that keeps [bad word]  when I'm 

all alone
She's my heart, my mind, my spirit and 

my bones
She's the only one I know that would 

go across the globe
Meet me in a foreign land, treat me 

like I'm home
Everything I own, give to her, she 

deserves it
Treats me like a king, every syllable is 

perfect
Searched through the earth for a reason 

just to be here
And since I met her every moment's 

like a leap year
Baby you can sleep here, you can stay 

with me
Anywhere you go, know I'm probably 

gon' be
Full of energy, and you never acting 

tired
You're everything I need, when I 

prayed, God supplied
You my chunky fire, blessings you 

provide
Always in my life 'til the day that I die
 [bad word]
