[Verse 1: Black Thought]
The anticipation arose as time froze
I stared off the stage with my eyes closed
And dove into the deep cosmos
The impact pushed back the first five rows
But before the raw live shows, I remember I's a little snot-nosed
Rockin' Cazal goggles and Izod clothes
Learnin' the ropes of ghetto survival
Peepin' out the situation I had to slide through
Had to watch my back, my front, plus my sides too
When it came to gettin' mine, I ain't tryin' to argue
Sometimes, I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for you
Hip-hop, you the love of my life, and that's true (And that's true)
When I was handlin' the shit I had to do
It was all for you (It was all for you), from the door for you (From the door for you)
Speak through you, gettin' paper on tour for you
From the start, Thought was down by law for you
Used to hit up every corner store wall for you
We ripped shit and kept it hardcore for you
I remember late nights, steady rockin' the mic
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
So tell the people like that, y'all (That, y'all)
And it sounds so nice (Sounds so nice)
Hip-hop, you the love of my life
We 'bout to take it to the top
