What's It Worth? - Pat D/Lady Paradox/MelodiQ

Melodiq pat d lady p sounding sweet

The UK and the USA

Paradox and melodiq poetic like sonnets

Words come alive these lyrics keep flowing

Melodiq pat d lady p sounding sweet

The UK and the USA

Paradox and melodiq poetic like sonnets

Go together like treble and bass

Music's meaning is more than the words it's the feeling

The passion the soul writing late in the evenings

It breathes in the records like to the ceiling

Motivated dreaming back to what believing

It's been in hearts on tracks in vain

It's seen in awe on graff on trains

The media try to attack it's name

But the realness can't be attached to fame

But who am I to say what hip hop is

Hip hop was before paradox lived

Before yoh MTV raps got big

When the soul and the words was what made hop hits

DJ's rock kicks after digging in the crates

Now we're living in an age where the rhythm is misplaced

It's all about the chains the millions you make

So I sit back imagine as I listen to the greats

Hip hop some say it's still the same

It's real hip hop

Hip hop some say it's still the same

What's the worth

Hip hop some say it's still the same

It's real hip hop

Hip hop some say it's still the same

Some say it's still the same it ain't that that

It's the authentic all the time prolific lyrical extraordinaire

Got rhymes to share to educate the masses

Toasting the realness raise your glasses

Never underestimate the movement

Always keeping my ear to the pavement

That's what the pioneers did back then

Before they had two 12's making the blend

No emails to send only word of mouth

Seems that real hip hop is in a drought

Critics kept saying that it wouldn't last

Through the years it persevered and made cash

Somehow it grew up too fast

Matured incorrectly evidently

Now it's time to do my thing

With I'll flows and vibes that I bring no doubt

Hip hop some say it's still the same

It's real hip hop

Hip hop some say it's still the same

What's the worth

Hip hop some say it's still the same

It's real hip hop

Hip hop some say it's still the same

Now let's take a sec to think back back
