Since 1973 Lyrics

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am Hip Hop

Born when Hip Hop was born

Cook County Hospital

Windy City peak of a storm

February in a Black History form

Since Nineteen Seventy Three giving you more

Made a big impact from way back

Southside chick house parties with the tape deck

I would do my dance and earn a bunch of respect

Protected by my Uncles when I came across them rejects

On the porch yawning until the early morning

To the store to get whatever Granny wanted

Memories with yall going always keep me going

They can't see the progress and still I keep growing

Coming from the Chi the Southside of Chi

That's how yall got Ms. Toi

Trail blazed my way through this industry

And it all started back in Seventy Three

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am

Hey hey Southern Cali

That's where I really got it going

Pushed through the City jumped on the highway

Fresh out of school when I hit the industry

First song with Ronnie Devoe and Moe Z

Keila

Did the song Lifestyles of the Rough and the Sexy

Worked with the cream of the crop

My voice is heavy got to the chips with my

Poker face ready

Linked with Mr. Tan and we started us a duo

Took over a group and we went and got some deals

Did a major hook been keeping up the Mills

Universal shit I ain't never stood still

Progress is a must in the Ville for real

I am Hip Hop same age not a drill

Nowadays ain't the same ain't trying to live

Pay attention you going see the reason why I'm here

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am Hip Hop

Yea I am Hip Hop and I've even been blessed

To Grace the stage with Roxanne Shante and

MC Sha Rock some of the first Females in Hip Hop

You know what I'm saying

The memories I've created with just a dream has been incredible

To me

So I keep dreaming and Manifesting my Dreams look everyday

And that's why this self titled album Ms. Toi is just for you

So you can get to know me a little bit better

But please stay tuned I'm still not finished

And shout out to the Founders

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am

I am Hip Hop

Since Nineteen Seventy Three

I am Hip Hop
