The Anthem Lyrics

If you're not flippin' cuts like DJ Romes
Well then you're not representin' with the LPs
If you're not droppin' tracks like Madlib
Then you're not representin' with the LPs
Well if you're not kickin' styles like WildChild
Then you're not representin' with the LPs
But if you're not supportin' hardcore hip hop
Well then you're not a real hip hop MC

If you're not in tune to this total bliss
Now a days a lot of rappers I like to diss
'Cause yo, all up in your songs you be talkin' 'bout your Glocks (what?)
But then you change 'cause you can't be the same around the clock
You be actin' like a Amazon when the camera's on
But when the camera's off, you be actin' soft
'Cause you be in that mental state, thinkin' that ya great
But everywhere around the gates people sayin' that ya fake
Like droppin' out of weight while you're tryna have your cake
But ya jams ain't got no weight and many niggas won't debate
(Hey, how we do?)
We keep it hot like Benihana (word)
With no drama, while you try to bite like a piranha
I'll make you wanna bounce, bounce (bounce)

When you come to see the Pack
I'ma carbonate ya flow 'cause yo' style be soundin' flat, jack
AKA constructor of a rhyme on a track
Conducted by Madlib invade ya face like blah
Brin' it back as I rock it slow, with my lip socket lyrics
Scratch as I rock a show with simultaneous functions we create
'Cause we're the sure shot
The flow got you all hypnotized but if you're not

Flippin' cuts like DJ Romes
Well then you're not representin' with the LPs
Now, if you're not droppin' tracks like Madlib
Well then you're not representin' with the LPs
Now, if you're not flippin' styles like Wild Child
When then you're not representin' with the LP
But if you're not supportin' hardcore hip hop
Then you're not a real hip hop MC

Yo, WildChild straight up rearrangin' on ya drums
Ya niggas from the slums, step up and wanna hum
As I take ya ass way back when blacks was like chillin'

(To late for that now)
Why?
(Brothers mad killin')

Yo, I live in hip hop day to day because I feel it
Can't understand wack MC's out there, they try and kill it
I'll steal it, take it home, package it and seal it
Brin' it out on a daily basis and fry it on a skillet
Question, will it, will it last forever?
Can't compare it to the past, never
We're used to touch the mics, upliftin' MC's on the rise
Come with the abstract and then straight up vocalize

Most people now a days talk about representin'
They strictly smokin' Philly's, actin' ill, gettin' bent and
The ways of the industry's mad shady tinted (yeah)
Most niggas trippin' off the ill joints we invented (right)
Whether you're in L.A., Texas or Trenton
Alaska, Nebraska, Japan you have to (ah)
Know the difference from a fake MC to a real MC
Before you play that Loot Pack CD

If you're not flippin' cuts like DJ Romes
Well then you're not representin' with the LP
Now, if you're not droppin' tracks like Madlib
Well then you're not representin' with the LP
Now, if you're not kickin' styles like WildChild
When then you're not representin' with the LP
But if you're not supportin' hardcore hip hop
Then you're not a real hip hop MC
