Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Back to the bars Back to the basics (yeah) Whole room lean When the bass hits (hey!) [Verse 1] Came up scribblin’ lines in a school desk Hand-me-down kicks, had a huge flex Every lunch break, cypher in the yard Turn a cracked phone screen to a calling card Crates full of sounds on the laptop Turn a cracked door room to a backdrop Old heads talk ’bout golden age talk I’m just tryna make the future out this sidewalk Hooked on the stories, the struggle, the win Every little detail carved in the skin Took that hunger, let it sharpen my tongue Now the whole crowd move off the breath in my lungs [Chorus] This that rap, that raw, that real thing From the stairwell echoes to the ceiling From the pain in the verse to the healing Hip hop in my blood, I can feel it (feel it) This that trap where the night don’t sleep Where the drums go wild and the floor too deep From the block to the chart, we don’t backtrack Say it loud one time, bring the craft back [Verse 2] Words like work, gotta clock in Every sixteen built for the locked-in Every little pause, that’s timing Every lost day still a diamond Rap is a mirror, show the flaws and the fame Every small choice still carving your name Hip hop raised me, taught me how to stand Trap paid dues, put the cash in my hand Old tapes spinning in my headphones New kids posting on their cell phones Different roads, but the root still same Whole world breathing in the beat and the slang [Chorus] This that rap, that raw, that real thing From the stairwell echoes to the ceiling From the pain in the verse to the healing Hip hop in my blood, I can feel it (feel it) This that trap where the night don’t sleep Where the drums go wild and the floor too deep From the block to the chart, we don’t backtrack Say it loud one time, bring the craft back
