Why Not Us? Lyrics

What made you give birth to Black Drop

Why now

Why now? Why not now. That's what I say

Damn man, I mean why us

Why not you brother

Move with the pride of a prince, street royalty

Strictly independent, reaping my royalties

Fuck your 360, we're the whole sphere

Ain't no infiltrating these men sucker, we all here

Move with my right, follow with my left

Them fuckers who ain't right, them fuckers came and left

And weeded out like 420

All that remains is a selected few that run with me

What starts off as a thought manifested itself

Into an onslaught of verbal assault

We got six on the roster, seventh the overseer

Eighth in the cut just ready to chop a beat up

And the rest will be my city

When we show up to blow up all of L.A.'s comin' with me

The road traveled, daily battles and tussles

Sweet signs of struggle brings success by the bundles

We all had our individual rhymes, rhyme groups

Rhyming groups and what not

Time progressed and we just organically meshed together

And formed a group

You said you have rhymes, I said I had rhymes and

MP said he had rhymes and it was like

Just said alright, come on over to the Soul Den

I put that on my three daughters, hell or high water

We propellin like them helicopters

Never buy the propaganda, my whole clique's bananas

A small tribe, with a vibe like Lynch

We collide with 'em, then the divide the chicken

Survive feel like God's with us

A bunch of Gargamels in this smurf village

Know that we're the illest, dealing with these sick verses

Let the earth heal us my doc is an herbalist

Mind is oblivious to stop the grind serious

Time mysterious, intertwined with the wi-fi

Why try to figure it out

Rhyme til I'm delirious, no doubt

I've been here before the Genesis, Dark Matter

My flow scatter, the habitat of rap til the ground gather

My ink shatters pens

And another thing you know

We was complaining about the state of hip hop

You know, and the way it was and we kind of said

Listen man, we can make the music we want to hear

You know, we had the ability to do it

So let's put it out and let's do it man

So that was one of our motivations too.

I come from royalty that paid the costs

Raised hell in the streets and disobeyed the law

We've come too far to be stayin' this lost

We stay independent don't need your A and R

When I, let the pen stroke, should I pop pills and

Babble like a minstrel, over catchy instrumentals

Maybe then you'll bump our joints and say that they're lit

Come out to shows with eight hos and say that's the shit

We'd be washed up quick, like Kobe with a torn Achilles

You think we won't last, we'll prove ya wrong, like Mary Kay Letorneau and Vili

Look it up, look at us

Classic lyricists street rooted, full 'o Bucks

I'mma take this rap thang, as far as I can

Convey thoughts that expose the ill hearts of a man

The world is fraught with sin, haters should not pretend

You'll need oxygen, that'll be the start of your end, aaah

See I've been listening to these dudes for two decades

20 years, I've been on the sideline

I've been watching them freestyle

You know what I'm saying

So this has been going on for quite some time but

In and out, in and out, now we finally came together as a group

You don't get it, then you don't get it

I mean, we giving them nice beats

Hard lyrics, man

And if you don't, if you don't get it

Then you might not be a fan of hip hop

You like rap music

You just like to hear music

We're giving them the elements of hip hop man and that's

You just want something with a bass line and

Something that you bob and weave but you ain't really listening to

What's going on in the song right here

You hear it, you ain't feeling it

You ain't getting the feeling or the vibe from the song

Which is hip hop

Why not you? Brotha
