The Music

Lyrics

[Ad-libs] Yeah, yeah (Uh, uh) Uh, uh, (Yeah) look, look, man [Verse 1] You ever felt like you don't fit in? (uh-huh) Like you can't find comfort within your skin? And no matter which way, it leads to sins The rubbish in your life's too big for bins Ain't a waste dump big enough to hold your shit (Nah) And you've recycled enough to make you sick That if you see another rapper, (Uh-huh) you might just flip Well, this is different, this is some real good shit Yeah, this is a culture on a feel good tip And the budget that you need to be involved is diddly-squat Whatever you got, man, whatever you can spare Forget the door fee, the party's over therе This is the same thing that changed my lifе (Uh-huh) So I gotta give it back for the same damn price I want you to feel a part of it And in return, tell the world that music is the heart of it [Chorus] This is the music that was made for me (Me!) This is the music that was made for you (You!) "This is hip-hop" "No doubt" This is the music that I'm all about, yeah This is the music that was made for me (Me!) This is the music that was made for you (You!) "This is hip-hop" "No doubt" This is the music that I'm all about, yeah [Verse 2] I signed up like ten years back Due to movement in my belly when I heard this track It was Illmatic - "N.Y. State of Mind" That took me to a place that would redefine (Yeah) My outlook on life and my need to grow And the passion that I found for the scene to blow A lot o' lessons were taught that I need to know This thing, rap, got me pregnant and the scene was sewn, uh Every beat gave a different perspective And every track was a different elective I found a teacher that I finally liked And a class that would love me for the rest of my life It ignites my ambition, gives me reason to write It's the reason that I never gave up on this mic So if you feelin' lost or a little alone I guarantee this is music that will take you home, yeah [Chorus] This is the music that was made for me (Me!) This is the music that was made for you (You!) "This is hip-hop" "No doubt" This is the music that I'm all about, yeah This is the music that was made for me (Me!) This is the music that was made for you (You!) "This is hip-hop" "No doubt" This is the music that I'm all about, yeah [Bridge] "This-this-this-this is hip-hop" "Hip-hip-hip-hop" "This-this-this-this is hip-hop" "No-no-no-no doubt"
