Mates said I shouldn't be involved with you,
They said only cool guys were holding you,
They said my school wasn't even tough enough,
And my neighbourhood really wasn't rough enough,
Though I never thought you cared much,
I never scratched your records, the ones that I dared touch
We spoke when my parents, were adding to divorce rates,
But we were under age, was the sample worth the court case?

I love Hip Hop (x4)

I had to fight for you a couple of occasions,
We're an odd couple, say my relations,
Well, mum you said its up to me to choose,
What do I need to prove? I never sing the blues
I show my true colours, music can turn me green
When I've read about whoever else she's seen
Will she notice me, yeah man, in your dreams?
I think of her when waking, then sleeping, and then in just between


I love Hip Hop (x4)


(break)


I still think about my first performance,
I had a small hope, that she turned enormous,
I was dormant, like a door man at four in the morning,
Now I'm called for recordings, keeping reporters reporting
I'm all in,
I'm pretty sure she used to find me boring,
Trying to be too clever, too much metaphoring
Now you like me as a simile,
Your hard to get, treat me mean, to keep me keen
But I'll still MC


I love Hip Hop (x4)
