Climate

Lyrics

[Intro: Barack Obama] So climate change can no longer be denied Years from now, I want to be able to look our children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them that we did everything we could to protect it [Verse 1: U-God] Hip-hop is dangerous, should be respected and cherished Keep it tucked in your pocket for the next to inherit Sacrifice what I write, Like Martin on the terrace Dreams have been built, and many of us perished No pun intended it's a rough path to heaven So I studied all my lessons, earned a button with a seven I be a father figure Mr. ? We ain't go nowhere, we the same legends The climate of hip-hop since done changed But the art and the bars will still remain Feel the wrath of the caine as it travel through your veins Champagne salute to those who entered the game [Hook: U-God, (MC Shan)] We call it (Hip-hop was set out in the dark) X2 [Verse 2: U-God] We need that gangsta music, don't let them filter the spirit Tell your favorite hot stations in the hood I wanna feel it The fans support, you bring your brother to tears Rap glaciers of ice that didn't melt for years Hip-hop is the monster, Evolution's construct It seemed compelling to say New York really lost it So we sat at the table with the top heads and bosses To save the def jams when the buzzards got exhausted Bout to drench these niggas, don't let me open up the faucet Pass the torch, get on my grind and I endorse it Back from the state pen, cooking with my apron Cash in the jackpot, introduce the eldest statesmen [Verse 3: Jackpot Scotty Wotty] Cash wanna deal, wanna peel back a vocalist I never slip slide when I ride and I open it Triple XL on a deal, I'm a poker chip Thought process, got def for a scholarship Squeezin' burners, shotgun permits I buy hood shit, I never cop German I used to run through life like a blind man But now I walk like I'm stepping on quicksand Bully niggas get fully loaded with lead Jackpot Scot Wot, I'm two steps ahead Anticipate, don't wait, don't let the bubble drop Imma lick more shots than a rookie cop [Hook: U-God, (MC Shan)] We call it (Hip-hop was set out in the dark) X2 (Hip-hop was set out in the dark) [Outro: Barack Obama] Years from now, I want to be able to look our children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them that we did everything we could to protect it
