[00:56.52](Black Thought)
[00:56.99]The anticipation arose as time froze
[00:59.97]I stared off the stage with my eyes closed and dove
[01:02.65]Into the deep cosmos
[01:04.04]The impact pushed back, the first five rows
[01:06.91]But before the raw live shows
[01:08.35]I remember I’se a little snot-nosed
[01:10.20]Rockin Gazelle, goggles and Izod clothes
[01:12.18]Learnin the ropes of ghetto survival
[01:13.16]Peepin out the situation I had to slide through
[01:17.88]Had to watch my back my front plus my sides too
[01:20.35]When it came to gettin mine I ain’t tryin, to argue
[01:23.08]Sometimes I wouldn’ta made it if it wasn’t for you
[01:25.32]Hip-Hop, you the love of my life and that’s true
[01:28.35]When I was handlin the shit I had to do
[01:30.66]It was all for you, from the door for you
[01:33.11]Speak through you, gettin paper on tour for you
[01:35.95]From the start, Thought was down by law for you
[01:38.45]Used to hit up every corner store wall for you
[01:40.83]We ripped shit, and kept it hardcore for you
[01:43.68]I remember late nights, steady rockin the mic
[01:46.14]Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
[01:48.09]So tell the people like that y’all (that y’all)
[01:50.32]And it sounds so nice
[01:51.44]Hip-Hop, you the love of my life
[01:53.38]We bout to take it to the top.
[01:54.35](Common)
[01:55.23]Yo, yo I was speakin, to my guy ‘Riq and
[01:56.63]How she was desperately seekin to Organize in a Konfusion
[01:59.28]Usin, no protection, told H.E.R. on _Resurrection_
[02:01.95]Caught in the Hype Williams, and lost H.E.R. direction
[02:04.35]Gettin eight/ate in sections where I wouldn’t eat H.E.R.
[02:07.07]An under the counter love, so _Silent_-ly I _Treat_ H.E.R.
[02:09.63]Her Daddy’ll beat H.E.R., eyes all Puff-ed
[02:11.81]In the mix on tape, niggaz had her in the buff
[02:14.22]When we touch, it was more than just a fuck
[02:16.44]The Police, in her I found peace (like who?)
[02:19.16]Like Malcolm in the East
[02:20.12]Seen H.E.R. on the streets of New York, trickin off
[02:22.52]Tried to make a hit with H.E.R. but my dick went soft
[02:24.23]Movin weight, losin weight, not picky – with who she choose to date
[02:27.12]To confuse the hate, with her struggle I relate
[02:29.97]Close to thirty, most of the niggaz she know is dirty
[02:32.43]Havin more babies than Lauryn, she started showin early
[02:35.13]As of late I realized, that this is H.E.R. fate
[02:37.63]Or destiny that brings the best of me
[02:39.48]It’s like God is testin me
[02:40.75]In _Retrospect_ I see she brought _Life_ and death to me
[02:43.29]Peace to us collectively, live and direct when we perform
[02:46.44]It’s just coffee shop chicks and white dudes
[02:48.19]Over H.E.R. I got into it with that nigga Ice Cube
[02:50.57]Now the fight moved to in life, makin the right moves
[02:53.68]Besides God and family, you my life’s jewel
[02:56.08]Like that y’all
