Lord Finesse - Hip 2 Da Game LYRICS

(you know what? )

(you know what? )

(you know what? )



[ chorus ]

Im hip to the game (right)

Ill always be the same (true)

Cause whether Im broke or got fame

Sunshine or rain

Aint a damn thing changed



[ verse 1 ]

Finesse fell off, thats what some figure

You better see mary blige and get the 411, nigga

I rock rappers frequently

Im like stevie wonder, I cant see a brother beatin me

Wanna throw joints? you get spanked, fella

Wanna talk dough? Im seein more cash than a bank teller

Wanna talk girls, you cant follow this

I been through more skins than the average dermatologist

Im no joke on a fast or slow tip

Pockets stay so thick, be on some down-low shit

I turn mcs red fast

I never sell out, fuck that, yo, Im dead ass

Im on it like tnt

When it comes to this, aint another brother seein me

Thats why opponents always get scared

Cause I make brothers go, "hey yo, thats that shit there!"



[ chorus ]



[ verse 2 ]

Brothers better lounge when I pass through town

(you better recognize) dont know? better ask around

Word life, Im not a new figure

They say good things come to those who wait - Im overdue, nigga

I lounge and rock tunes

The way I be savin the day, give me a cape and a costume

But no, its not batman, its the original blackman

That goes back like the gap band

I dont run scams, got dumb fans

Yo, Im one man thats quick to toast a nigga like a sun tan

People wondered would I rock again?

Shit, rap without finesse is like life without oxygen

Its no quiz, I get biz, you know what the deal is

Rap aint shit if it aint real, kid

Cant a rapper outplay me

(do your thing, kid) word life, no doubt, baby



[ chorus ]



[ verse 3 ]

I dont stutter, Im so butter, like no other

Word, Im that funky type of soul brother

I get stupid, but Im dumb wise, Im one guy

That can rock a party from night until sunrise

You cant mess with the rap lord

Thats like sayin you can dunk when you cant touch the backboard

Ha, I got the smooth rep

I got styles that kung-fu muthafuckas didnt use yet

How long I been rockin raps?

Since niggas was wearin lees, mark-necks and sportin stocking caps

Plus I be flippin figures

In 95 and beyond, best believe I got some shit for niggas

(you know what? )

(you know what? )

(yeah!)
