Dear Hip Hop Lyrics

Dear Hip Hop - Bizzle

...

Verse 1]

Dear Hip-Hop, it's me, your foster child

I'm writing this 'cause I feel we should sit and talk awhile

It may sound like I'm crazy, but I feel like your baby

Spend more time with you than my own folks, so it's just like you raised me

You taught me to walk, said I should have swag

You taught me how to dress, that's why I let my pants sag

You taught me how to be a man like I ain't have a dad

You taught me how to talk, that's why my grammar bad

You taught me self-defense, a little rule of thumb

You said, "You never wanna fight, son, use a gun"

See, when you use a gun, you don't have to respect 'em

You can just talk to 'em how you want, then pull out and check 'em

You told me "Women ain't ish but hoes and tricks"

And never to love them just cut 'em move on and dip

You never told me what to do if I slipped and had a kid

All I remember is "Move on and dip"

And make it rain when she get on the pole and strip

But if she respectable, I ain't supposed to trip

And if I see my brother get done wrong and just

Turn your back and let it happen, but "don't you snitch"

You had me thinking heart and real were the same thing

Like you're real if you have the heart to kill in your gang bang

You never told me if I take his life

His pain is for a second, but it's ever present in his babies' life

You carried the spirit of banging across the nation

And they embraced it because you put it in song formation

You taught me I don't need school, I can rap

And while waiting for my music to move, I can trap (Yeah!)

I used to wanna be one, you told me to hate the cops

Now they can only beat and mistreat us 'cause we ain't the cops

I thought you had my best interest, maybe not

So I'm writing this letter to tell you, thanks alot!

[Verse 2]

Dear Hip-Hop, I met my real Father

He said He loved me and He missed me and I'm not forgotten

He left me tons of messages but I must not've got 'em

I guess you must've lost them, but, anyway, I found them

When I was just a youngin', you told me daddy left

I ran and checked, and it says He's always been at that address

He said it's me who left Him, He just respected my choice

You showed me candy and toys and I was just a boy

He told me wait for sex, but we ain't wanna wait

Now it's abortion and broken homes, plus a bunch of aids

He told me to love my woman, protect and provide

You told me if I love her, do it for only a night

He said, if you love her, then wife her and go in for life

Like a lifer and man up, and make sure your family tight

I'll never withhold good from you, but it has to be right

And, if it ain't, then you may have to wait until after this life

He said to speak up when you see injustice

It's thinking you're weak when you speak on evil, and these are what the streets are becoming

He told me our children were innocent

You teach 'em a sexual dances, re-tape it and place it on the internet

He told me love my brother, almost like what you said

But you said if he looked at me wrong, I could bust his head

He said His Son is over everything

You either serve God or money, you told me money over everything!

He said it's never to late to come and join the family

He said they all been waiting for me, they'd rejoice to have me

And that's the point of this letter, I wrote it so you know

That, as sure as you know it, I decided I'm going home
