wordsmith - as the art fades away lyrics
1st verse
got them props, shows been rocked, ode to the greats the tapes
the boom box and to the bus stop the bootlegs are hot the
days fade away won’t stay on the block (adlib: on the block) so true
they due to get paid, the art that they made it skip the airwaves
the labels just say we own ya like slaves (adlib: put em’ on the shelf)
that thought they took to the graves (adlib: to the graves). fast forward
flow so historic i claim the torch, the course, the force wit’ it (adlib: i’m the one)
my lead i bleed the hip-hop i speak to the kids the pop
has gotta stop (adlib: gotta stop), please research the birth
of who’s hot (who’s hot) young crowd said nelly built rap
and chingy, young joc put it all on the map and treat the
pioneers like blacks, so hit the back (adlib: hit the back)
hook 1

female singing: what would the game be like…?

2nd verse
so sad when ah rapper gets richer give them the fame
make money be scripture love of the game fades like
an old picture…your ah boss, ay boys call you mister
(adlib: coffee boss)let me make it real clear for you
cats if the pioneers never rapped ya’ll wouldn’t make cr-p
all facts even got jacked when a label own it all from your
name to your tracks. listen here, hip-hop my dear
the doe it dig deep to steep for them to care (adlib: don’t care)
sit quiet in a studio session i start to flashback to tracks
when i’m eleven. ll had a girl around the way
i learned to kick step i’m reppin’ kid-n-play
i love to hear a scratch from jam master jay (adlib: ippy jay)
cop an att-tude like n.w.a (adlib: what)…

3rd verse
spin vinyl, dj behind you, rock mics forget
who ya signed to. this show is for all the greats
rewind the time back to dancing wit’ breaks
free expression that was rap law graffiti on ah
stall and ah subway wall and on ah blacktop
where the b-boys ball. this culture lives on
for years and i’ll keep spitting an ode to pioneers…
