..Grab my heart and take hold
You take us back to a time when music still sounded like gold
Live shows that had us pushin’ up lighters
And left us wanting more
Hip-hop from the source
Heartfelt like a quest for your first love
See the music’s always soothing
But ya’ll take me back to meeting him
Beats so heavy I tripped on my tongue, rewind
Skip back to the first verse so I can catch his last line
Smile wide like sunset cause his style was refined
I hang on the edge of every cipher I find
Hoping he’d pass me the mic
And to this day I still need to listen to him
Make love to his heart beat and drum-line
Every time that I write
Cause my poems be the core
So I clutch his inspiration with a tight fist
Until my fingers are sore
And he knows me
Seen me grow up from 13 ‘til times
Maybe a bit more mature
Still moves me, still soothes me
Familiar like an old groove
Yet everything he do is so new to me
Cause he sounds so nice, yeah he sounds so nice
HIP-HOP IS THE LOVE MY LIFE.
