This one here is dedicated to a special part of my life that's missing
If she's listening, this one's dedicated to you
Come on, uh
I remember '89 when I used to ride the train
Did the knowledge to the bombers that was taggin' up they name
Ghetto fame was the only destiny
Some will be remembered while the other rest will be
Forgotten, hip-hoppin' on the old project roofs
Now it's bulletproofs, gettin' wild, Cristal, 80 proof
Forget the bubblegoose, pass the Olde E brew
And let me reminisce of hip-hop and the things we used to do
I used to put it in positions on top of a cardboard
Pop it and break it and get it open like a car door
She been on rap tours for months, liquor and blunts
Doin' raps, holdin' gats, and rockin' gold fronts
Before that rappin' to Vicky's Secret and martinis
We was givin' ourself nicknames with graffiti
Now it's Tahiti, hotels, suites, Chanels
Italian shoes, now you're rockin' silk pastels
I can't tell if our ending's near or far
Now you drive expensive cars, hang with A&R's
Left me and Kangol to rap about your bankroll
You're faux, night after night after you do a packed rap show
I don't know why you don't come around
How it sound, you hang with cowboys and Nino Brown
I miss you, but now you hold a pistol
Put it down, come here, come snatch, I wanna kiss you
I miss hip-hop (Hip-hop), yo, where can she be?
Can't you see her pop along right here with me?
I miss hip-hop (Hip-hop), yo, where can she be?
Can't you see her pop along right here with me?
Night after night, I cry to sleep, fearin' the end
I called the Zulu Nation to help look for this lost friend
I went all around and asked everyone
There's rumors she's seein' some guy named KRS-One
I'm lost, son, I hope hip-hop can hear
Without her, there's no need for me to be here
We used to rock the Radio Shack tables, the Realistiks
It was simplistic, but now you're materialistic
Got to have the Technics, the MIDI, the sampler
Threw the beat machine and keyboards inside your hamper
Havin' temper tantrums all on stage
Just to get paid, you're gettin' arrested, put on the front page
Never in my life I thought you'd act like this
The feelings I have for this long-time mistress
I reminisce in the basement with her for hours
And after verbal intercourse, I take a long shower
But all of a sudden, you don't wanna see me
Unsatisfied with twelve inches and got a CD
Can it be her God is listenin' to this?
'Cause all I want is hip-hop back with me for Christmas
I miss this special part of my life
And when I see her again, I'm makin' sure she's my wife
I miss hip-hop (Hip-hop), yo, where can she be?
Can't you see her pop along right here with me?
I miss hip-hop (Hip-hop), yo, where can she be?
Can't you see her pop along right here with me?
I miss hip-hop (Hip-hop), yo, where can she be?
Can't you see her pop along right here with me?
I miss hip-hop (Hip-hop), yo, where can she be?
Can't you see her pop along right here with me?
Uh, keep movin' to the left and the right, y'all
Everybody represent this shit right, y'all
All the breakers gotta hit the dance floor now
Graffiti artists, spray cans in the air, y'all
Uh
