[00:00.00]B-Boy - Macklemore/Kurupt/JAYO FELONY/40-Glocc
[00:01.59]Ladies and gentlemans
[00:02.13]
[00:03.57]This an ode to the B-boys  B-girls
[00:06.44]
[00:07.51]The people out there
[00:08.28]Who do it for the love
[00:09.86]And believe me
[00:10.40]I'm not dissin' anybody out there
[00:11.45]Who's trying to get paid
[00:12.33]I'm trying to get paid too 
[00:13.48]
[00:14.00]But I got one question
[00:15.20]
[00:15.91]Whatever happened to the heart 
[00:17.31]That pumped the passion into the art 
[00:18.69]The entity that gave you
[00:19.47]The energy to wanna start 
[00:20.81]Breakdancing  I'm battling 
[00:21.57]Doing it at the park
[00:22.70]Where the mission was expression 
[00:23.66]Not only to top charts
[00:24.62]I don't know what happened 
[00:26.04]Wanting to blow rap
[00:26.90]You lose soul and passion
[00:27.74]For the flows and the tracks
[00:29.13]Radio's lacking  controlled by fascists 
[00:31.01]Assholes doing damage
[00:31.78]But we're gonna take it back
[00:33.50]Before beats to a hundred G's a pop
[00:35.20]All you needed
[00:35.69]Was a tabletop and a beatbox
[00:36.98]
[00:37.55]Hip-hop without the B-boy
[00:38.52]Is like shelltoes only having two stripes
[00:41.31]Hip-hop  we're freedom-fighting 
[00:43.19]Graffiti-writing  party types
[00:44.48]That recite and organize
[00:45.18]And revitalize our rhyming
[00:46.27]'Til the group of the moneymakers systems
[00:47.49]Knows that the industry
[00:48.45]Can eventually get served
[00:49.85]Breakers of my verses spinning up
[00:50.94]A revolution throughout our words
[00:52.44]If you really want it  come on get it 
[00:53.82]Cause I've got it
[00:54.43]I'm honestly paying homage
[00:55.30]To forgotten pioneers
[00:55.85]Of this culture that are giving them
[00:56.99]Props and learn
[00:58.13]If you wanna earn your stripes
[00:59.06]You gotta be able to rock this mic
[01:00.83]And set cyphers alike
[01:02.16]The feeling to put in everything
[01:03.30]You got in the circle
[01:04.24]Will never be documented
[01:05.12]In the Coke commercial
[01:06.11]
[01:21.09]We be the baddest
[01:22.51]Now B-boys  B-girls
[01:23.67]Bring it back to the block
[01:24.81]Lemme see you get ill 
[01:25.68]For real  pop and lock 
[01:26.91]If you record without thought then stop
[01:28.67]Because I'll serve your whole album
[01:29.79]With the goddamn beatbox
[01:31.20]Without thought it just happens
[01:32.44]If you gotta think to feel 
[01:33.82]That's not rapping  that's acting
[01:35.12]I'm from a land of backpacks and fat cats
[01:37.09]MCs with sick raps
[01:37.99]Who serve those that are wack
[01:39.52]It's a way of life
[01:40.62]I put all my energy into the melody
[01:42.14]On the mp3s until the death of me
[01:43.83]Record exceptionally  especially
[01:44.87]Whenever I be monumentally 
[01:46.21]Grammatically  killing the mic
[01:47.39]I tell my DJs  cranking that music 
[01:48.93]Keeping 'em moving when the beat plays
[01:50.19]Staying into it 
[01:50.77]Breaking and grooving  and MCs they
[01:52.18]Thinking that you should always pursue
[01:53.22]In what their dreams make
[01:54.26]Taking from lucid to really do it
[01:55.83]All the people gotta make their money
[01:57.05]And the way to make money
[01:58.11]Is to get inside of the industry
[01:59.43]Take it on the radio  flow
[02:00.71]So you can go blow  we get a car
[02:02.44]And a crib up on MTV
[02:03.85]But in the end what's classic 
[02:05.63]Radio bubblegum 
[02:06.33]Or a voice filled with passion 
[02:07.98]To my real hip-hop heads 
[02:09.29]Please stand up
[02:10.06]Cause the only people
[02:10.83]That can preserve this art is us
[02:12.28]Sing
