Run Dat - Bam Marley

[Chorus] Its like this y'all, Its like that y'all We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all Its like this y'all, Its like that y'all We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all Its like this y'all, Its like that y'all We represent the hip hop, but not the rap y'all Its like this y'all, Its like that y'all We represent the hip hop [Verse 1] Back in the days before I signed a line When the babyface never got paid to rhyme When Kane released Raw and everything was fine Before the rap industry messed with my mind I used to run to the jam snot nosed and all Never tried to be hard, never tried to play the wall MCs grab the mike tap the head and begin Flowed for four minutes then passed to the end But nowadays 'cause rap pays You got a million rappers and a thousand DJs All wanna talk about how much they flip Runnin off at the mouth so much ya tongue was kicks But thats aight, I represent the real hip hop Because rappers just rap but MCs get props And we run styles no styles no run we Bush Babees run things represent who ya be [Chorus] [Verse 2] Its a every style, nah gon live like people do Now make a new style from run you How does the Ambush crew a-pass through? I make we tell them what fi do Me say mercy, worse he Bitter like circy No have to bust a shot to make a next man hear me Rush me, comin' from the music industry Everybody wan fe be a bad man, them crazy Easy [?] an MC A why do dem, a why do dem Them would-a use we, nah just fe reach the top rung But in the know we know we never sell out fe dem They ask dem the question and its like them hear den If reggae music and hip-hop upon friend A message we uh send To tell the all uh dem United with [?] or divided [?] [Chorus] [Verse 3] Its been a while since you heard somebody rhyme like this The fortified mental grimy that you can't dismiss At the top of the list because the masses insist Its a must that I create to elevate from the abyss The mind must be nourished so the truth can flourish As the rubbish is discourage by the explosional floodage Of my verb as I infiltrate your state the least when the energy's released You can tell its coming from the East So cease with your ranting and your raving And all the misbehaving that you claim with your name In order to maintain That status on the mike apparatus Everybody wants to try to sound the phattest or the baddest Thats not the case when your standing face to face in the place to be With the face to see from inner space, so Face the facts and tell truth to the nation Mr. Man and thats my representatio
