pagen elypsis - one way ticket كلمات أغنية
[chorus]
i bought a one way ticket in this hip_hop sh_t
and if i never leave, then, so be it, yeah
yeah, i might not find my way home
but it’s all i know, i know
i bought a one way ticket in this hip_hop sh_t
and if i never leave, then, so be it, yeah
yeah, i might not find my way home
but it’s all i know, i know
[verse 1: purpose & motive]
uh, now let me tell ya ‘bout a piece o’ my life
from an era that gave me a reason to rhyme (uh_huh)
like everyone else, i thought [?] was fly
but it jigga wasn’t “feelin’ it”, then neither was i
thеn stillmatic changed my mind
as to who was the top five rappеrs of all time, all time
big l, nas and notorious big (uh_huh)
eminem and jay_z on that renegade sh_t
i met aussie hip_hop, started doin’ my thing
ever since, i’ve been livin’ in a culture o’ kings (uh_huh)
it’s not even ‘bout a rap career
it’s my hoodie and my headphones, b_boy battle_gear (hilltop)
we just did it ‘cause we didn’t have a choice (uh)
‘til this day, still roll with my boys (like that)
yeah, my squad stay on point
like “da_na_na_na_na_na”, it’s the joint (uh)
[verse 2: purpose]
it all began when i was eleven or twelve
while the world span in circles, i kept to myself
a certain rap legend’s presence was felt
and, of course, n_a_s were the letters it spelt (“‘nise”)
‘pac wrote for the lost, that included me
give ‘em the finger, me against the world, it’s either you or me
hip_hop, i ain’t mad at you for usin’ me (nah)
but that beat was nuts, tell me, do you believe? (you believe?)
in my line of work, i work on lines
and i never second guess if it was worth my time (never)
started bumpin’ hilltop and certified
had to awaken the past on that terra firma vibe (uh, uh, uh, uh)
so what you hear when purpose rhyme
is more than just words, i bring a verse to life (to life, man)
and even when i had to struggle to get by
i had my mind on my money and my money on my mind
[verse 3: prime]
i got 1994 on my mind
way before i recorded a line, before i could rhyme, before i was prime
i remember the first cd i bought in my life
was “boom! shake, shake the room”, man, i thought i was fly
started bumpin’ all the chart sh_t that you’ve prob’ly got
ice cube, lots of pop, dre, snoop doggy_dogg
i didn’t know who was who, man, i just played the song
didn’t discover wu_tang ‘til much later on
but i did listen to tupac, that was a revelation
‘cause practically every day, i would rap everything he’d say ([?])
there was no internet, information was harder to find
didn’t know the dude was dead ‘til ages after he died (rest in peace)
lookin’ back, it’s hard to describe, but i couldn’t deny
that i was a straight ridah in some part o’ my mind
but my ambitionz az a ridah didn’t last that long
and at first, i got the message of that nas track wrong
heard some beasts from the east, included cannabis rhymin’
realised that it was possible to battle with rhymes
first aussie sh_t was cannibal tribe
as an adelaide guy, lovin’ the hoods was just a matter o’ time
and there’s still nothin’ just like hearin’ [?] on the mic
after hearin’ him and others, i had somethin’ to write
but big l confirmed this sh_t as the love o’ my life
so make sure my mic is loud and my production is tight
[chorus: poheticut]
i bought a one way ticket in this hip_hop sh_t
and if i never leave, then, so be it, yeah
yeah, i might not find my way home
but it’s all i know, i know
i bought a one way ticket in this hip_hop sh_t
and if i never leave, then, so be it, yeah
yeah, i might not find my way home
but it’s all i know, i know (uh)
[verse 4: k_dawg & poheticut]
same time i started high school, i started gettin’ educated
started puttin’ effort in, obsessed with puttin’ pen to paper (yeah_heh)
out o’ the classroom, my lesson was a record player
listenin’ to lectures, k_r_s was teachin’ edutainment (woop_woop)
i went from boogie down to biggie and that brooklyn sound
copped the tape with l, i put it on and couldn’t put it down
this rap sh_t had me buggin’ out
above the clouds, gang starr had that full clip bustin’ out
snoop hit me up side the head
dre kept it ringin’ with that rhyme he said
then i went coast to coast when i heard the ‘liks
and ice cube had me throwin’ up the sign for west (westside)
i couldn’t say which side was best (uh_uh)
or if ‘pac was alive or dead
but i do know life goes on
and ‘e had me hangin’ on every motherf_ckin’ line ‘e said (every line)
next in line was em (shady)
if i had a role model at the time, it’s him
i heard ‘im freestyle on the wake up show
since then, my number one o’ top five’s been slim
see? hip_hop is all i know
and that’s a glimpse in the life that i call my own (my own)
and as k_r_s one once told me
“if you don’t know me by now, i doubt you’ll ever know me” (yeah)
[verse 5: k_dawg]
and i’ve been down with hip_hop, i don’t know how long (uh, yeah)
prob’ly ’round the first time i heard the south bronx (south bronx)
and ever since, i’ve been hooked on that new york sh_t (new york)
mobb deep, premier, you can choose your big
and the hoods had me lovin’ every line
since the first time i heard “1979”
and if it’s anything but hip_hop, why bother?
‘cause i’ve been high since year nine, loonies had a five on it
i copped a one way ticket and i love it
m_o_p had me talkin’ like a do_or_die motherf_cker (yeah)
think back to pete rock and cl smooth
“those were the days i reminisce about you”
when i first heard illmatic, i became a real addict
now every nas track’s a habit and i still have it
i needed every single step o’ the way
biggie smalls is my number one king o’ the greats (what up, big?)
how many shots does it take
to make my heart stop and my body start to shake (uh)
if i should die before i wake? (yeah)
[chorus]
i bought a one way ticket in this hip_hop sh_t
and if i never leave, then, so be it, yeah
yeah, i might not find my way home
but it’s all i know, i know
i bought a one way ticket in this hip_hop sh_t
and if i never leave, then, so be it, yeah
yeah, i might not find my way home
but it’s all i know, i know
