Hip Hop, was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
We used to do it
We used to do it
We used to do it out in the park

Was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
We used to do it
We used to do it
We used to do it out in the park

got it so nice
rocking the mic
started the hype
now I'm the popular type
armed with the pistol
the heart of the issue
hardly will miss you
hitting arteries and tissue
turn you into particles of crystal
its real hip hop
not ass backwards like kriss kross
got em stuck like gridlock
with the big glock
pimp walk
no wristwatch
needed
emceeing with the slick talk
deejays with the tip off
yall know what time it is
with biz mark... kie
juice crew and other foundation
pumping through your soundstation
I'll make em
know
from the bronx to the bridge
the ingredients are all in my fridge
another page
of the story
the gusto and the glory

Hip Hop, was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
We used to do it
We used to do it
We used to do it out in the park

Was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
We used to do it
We used to do it
We used to do it out in the park

its like pam grier
damn near
took the whole head off
so stand clear
its a legendary cinematic
feeling when we go at it
from the inner city
to the small towns
worldwide like silly putty
and they all down
every hood can relate
got that real in rhyme form no debate
putting pictures on my wall
the yes yes yall
and how to ball
from the winter to the fall
mesmerized since a youngin
the g funk era 100 miles and running
study the beats and the rhymes
of the tapes
from the streets filled with crime
an artform
where many stars are born
with poverty and hearts torn

Hip Hop, was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park

We used to do it
We used to do it out in the park

Was set out in the dark
We used to do it out in the park
We used to do it
We used to do it
We used to do it out in the park

They used to do it out in the park
HIP HOP!
