B.o.B - Hip Hop Ain't Dead Lyrics

(Verse 1)

Everyone was saying hip-hop was dead/it wasnt dead/these niggas just wasnt makin no bread/because the scared to be real so they fakin instead/and when that happens rappin and rappin its actin instead/but like they say its just entertainment/but its a game so all this niggas is playin/even me/but what happens when the game changes/your favorite rappers gon have to do some explainin/somebody turn the channel man this gangsta shit is boring/nobody believes ya so please record another story/now im not sayin that ima save ya/but if no one else keep it real then im the answer to ya prayers

(Chorus)

Look into the future tell me what you see/you a fool if you dont know it by now/pimpin we the future/we the future/and you a fool if you dont know it by now/ (x2)

(Verse 2)

See kids only believe in what the perceive/and half of what they believe is what they be seein on the t.v./hints the term monkey see monkey do/thats why they got all the kids rockin bathing apes to school/why you think they call em bathing apes/they think we just a bunch of babies and apes/i may be disturbed because im disgraced/i feel like an alien in outerspace/thats why im singin amazing grace to save this race/i do not know what it takes to make the dimension that im trying to create/we all got fucked we need to be hollerin great/but like they say its just entertainment/but its a game so all this niggas is playin/even me/but what happens when the game changes/your favorite rappers gon have to do some explainin

(Chorus)
