Carry On Tradition

Yea, **** want to talk about this rap ****

**** want to talk about this money

About these cars, these homes, these labels

Clothes, sneakers, big money ****

Now everybody tryin' to get rich

Now get rich ****, **** it

Some rap pioneers be them crackheads

When they speak, you see missin' teeth, silver chain with a silver piece

**** your grandfather's age, they pants still hangin' down they legs

Talkin' 'bout they ain't paid

And they hate you, 'cause they say you ain't pay dues

And **** was stealin' and robbin' 'em

I feel it's a problem we gotta resolve

Hip-hop been dead, we the reason it died

Wasn't Sylvia's fault or because MC's skills are lost

It's 'cause we can't see ourselves as the boss

Deep rooted through slavery, self-hatred

The Jewish stick together, friends in high places

We on some low level ****, we don't want **** to ever win

See, everybody got a label

Everybody's a rapper, but few flow fatal

It's **** up, it all started from two turntables

When they crown you and you rise up to your position

Carry on tradition

When they knight you, then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition

Carry on tradition

Carry on tradition

Carry, ca-carry on, carry on tradition

Carry on tradition

When you rep what we rep, then carry on tradition

Now some of these new rappers got their caps flipped backwards

With their fingers intertwined in some gang sign madness

I got an exam, let's see if y'all pass it

Let's see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest

Some of you new rappers, I don't understand your code

You have your man shoot you, like in that Sopranos episode

Do anything to get in the game, mixtapes

You spit hate against bosses, hungry **** are moral-less

You should be tossed in a pit full of unfortunate vocalists

****, I coulda wrote your ****

I had off time, was bored with this, I coulda made my double LP

Just by samplin' different parts of Nautilus

Still came five on the charts with zero audience

The lane was open and y'all was droppin' that garbage ****

Y'all got awards for your bricks, it got good to you

You started tellin' the bigger dawgs to call it quits, what?

When they crown you, and you rise up to your position

Carry on tradition

When they knight you, then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition

Carry on tradition

Carry on tradition

Carry, ca-carry on, carry on tradition

Carry on tradition

When you rep what we rep, then carry on tradition

Now **** got the studio poppin', it's mad clearer

Engineers got his earplugs and still hear us

The live in the park sound verses the studio state of art sound

We on the charts now

From British Walkers and Argyles

Look at us rap stars now, with our black cars now

Fortune 500-listed, brunch at Cipriani's

Sippin', blunted, with rich white guys around me

Thick white girls around me, Chinese lined up

'Cause I'm what every dime lust

We used to be a ghetto secret

Can't make my mind up if I want that or the whole world to peep it

Now carry on tradition

**** a bum whack rapper makin' this career outta dissin'

Peace to the strugglin' artists and dead ones gone, we miss 'em

I promise I'll carry on tradition

When they crown you, and you rise up to your position

Carry on tradition

When they knight you, then you go to fight, go to war, don't petition

Carry on tradition

Carry on tradition

Carry, ca-carry on, carry on tradition

Carry on tradition

When you rep what we rep, then carry on tradition
