What Happened To Rap Lyrics

Yeah, Gen X hit you with another remix

Yeah, uh, uh, yeah

What happened to rap?

What happened to MCs in honin' the craft

What happened to beat makers boomin' the bap

Kicks, snares, and hats

What happened to rap?

The image, your gimmick, the vision, you're livin

You gotta be trippin', you talk about plays

But who wants to listen to listen

What happened to rap?

What happened to MCs in honin' the craft

What happened to beatmakers boomin' the bap

Kicks, snares, and hats

What happened to rap?

The OGs who interpreted craft

The grind, the packs, the tracks, the sacks

The aftermath

What happened to rap?

Yeah

What happened to rap?

What happened to rap, y'all

What happened to rap?

What happened to happen to happen to rap?

Bees in the trap

Hit it with the facts

Government on board

But they taking tax

G's in the streets

Yeah, take cash

We all gonna fall

And turn to ash

This beat

We call it trap

Where most of us talk smack

About doin' drugs like crack

And runnin' with the strap

No, we all ain't like that, like that

Gonna flip it upside down

Show you what happens after the fact

When you fall in depression

Live for your life to be done

Yeah, that's a fact

Whatever happened?

To the boom, to the bap

The Snares and the hats

Most y'all rappers thrive off smack

And attack, attack

That's whack, that's whack

Wanna be honest

When you spit

Were gettin' tired of all that shit

Talk about lean, moly

That ain't my biz

But it makes me twitch

Stop talkin' shit

When you come down

You gonna fall hard

You Grabbed that card

And you got to Ace of hearts

Years go by

Now you gotta restart

Your views went down

And you fell off the charts

Gotta flip it around

And get back up

This ain't no lie

Yeah, that's what's up

We lived this life

But we cleaned it up

And at this time

We just don't give a fuck

Gotta remember

We're all erasable

Like lead in a pencil

Replaceable

So why not talk about somethin

That makes you feel

Motherfuckin' sensational

What happened to rap?

What happened to emcees

In honin' the craft

What happened to beatmakers

Boomin' the bap

Kicks, snares, and hats

What happened to rap?

The image, your gimmick

The vision, you're livin

You gotta be trippin

You talk about plays

But who wants to listen

To listen

What happened to rap?

What happened to emcees

In honin' the craft

What happened to beatmakers

Boomin' the bap

Kicks, snares, and hats

What happened to rap

The OGs

Who interpreted craft

The grind, the packs

The tracks, the sacks

The aftermath

What happened to rap

Yeah
