Hip-Hopera Lyrics

Operatic, flow is illmatic, even though I adjusted the tube, it's still static

Straight from the attic, music blasted out the Aiwa

Not Kanye, I still spit it through the wire

Any way you look at it, you can't deny the fact I rap like a friend of God

Call me Jebediah, in my plain white tee got more love than Delilah

Gemini two and a half man like Sheen and John Cryer

Limits the sky, no it isn't, there is no limits

Passion can't be denied, and with mine, there is no gimmicks

Dedication's infinite, long as you're in it to win it

Fortune is on the wheel, so keep it real when you spin it

Let your light shine, don't let negativity dim it

When I write rhymes, I put all my energy in it

Show no sympathy and no empathy to your enemies

Keep the memories for your coffin time when you're finished

Hip-hopera, got you non-stop, so call the doctor

Operate on the beat and then break him off proper

He's a showstopper, phantom rocker

All I need's a little help from my friends like Joe Cocker

Hip-hopera, got you non-stop, so call the doctor

Operate on the beat and then break him off proper

He's a showstopper, phantom rocker

All I need's a little help from my friends like Joe Cocker

No matter what, you can't stop the plot

Call me a goonie after the treasure like Chunk and Chester Copper Pot

Either way, I'll give you the funk while the block is hot

Feel like I'm drunk on the sidewalk while the coppers watch

You need to listen when I talk, so pop a squat

Influenced by the one who finished off Papa Doc

My flow and his beat is equivalent to the Ropa dope

They said to give him all I got, I told him okie doke

Every bar I slay, note to note

Like a dragon tagging the toe of the instrumental quote to quote

As long as you got the boat to float

You can sail to the depth of your dreams, never give up hope

You'll find ways to succeed in everything I wrote

It's pure ink that I bleed

It's seeping through my coat and my jeans

When you love, believe, you can find a way to cope

What you see, you can achieve until you become a ghost

Hip Hopera gotcha non-stop, so call the doctor

Operate on the beat and then break him off proper

He's a showstopper, phantom rocker

All I need's a little help from my friends like Joe Cocker

Hip Hopera gotcha non-stop, so call the doctor

Operate on the beat and then break him off proper

He's a showstopper, phantom rocker

All I need's a little help from my friends like Joe Cocker

It's getting deep in ways you can't fathom

I can't sleep cause I'm knee deep in an anthem

Hip Hoppera, guess that makes me the phantom of my genre

Go solo, no need for tandem

YOLO, you only live once, make no mistake

At some point, you gotta give up the stunts and try to be like Drake

So many are fake, no one's keeping it real

The ones that are are the ones that go to sleep with the steel

So many wack artists fall asleep at the wheel

Headed straight for the swamp at the bottom of the hill

35 years later, you could say I had my fill

I seen the 80's and 90's babies pop like pills and still

I show respect where it's due, show love to the new

And old heads still getting checks for they crew

I seen hip hop flip flop more than beaches

I heard bars that turn nobodies to stars over the speakers

Hip Hopera, gotcha nonstop, so call the doctor

Operate on the beat and then break em off proper

He's a showstopper, phantom rocker

All I need's a little help from my friends like Joe Cocker

Hip Hopera, gotcha nonstop, so call the doctor

Operate on the beat and then break em off proper

He's a showstopper, phantom rocker

All I need's a little help from my friends like Joe Cocker
