Lyrics
The Elements -- a one hour key. go.
see..
hip hop's beyond all of our facets imagined
an essence of life just shattered in fragments
it enters our souls, villifying our bodies
takes form in each cell and sets up a lobby
we each check in, representin our scene
be it b-boy, spit game, or graffin technique
from mixtape magnates to vidcap veterans
infused in our movements to better all men
or women, or children, any sentient being
hip hop can answer anyone lookin for meaning
or even oblivious, it can blindside you too
put its arm on ya shoulder an welcome ya crew
the elements lurk in the darkest of corners
to spill like sun rays to the saddest of mourners
bemoaning their lives, regretting their past
till this magnificent device gives them a task
a purpose for being, for seeing, for doing
an entire process from which we're improving
as people and humans, our talents accruing
into something deserving of multiple viewings
varying perspectives are needed to understand
how these different segments combined and began
first the prospect of emcees, the voice of the lords
convey the message of hope and open the door
to the art of graffiti, that's our very own bible
an ancient history always under revival
rewriting itself, both fractured and constant
linear in time yet revolving in progress
as is the b-boy, an idyllic host of our gods
representing our image from orbit to sod
always in movement with our rhythms of life
a physical depiction for all that we strive
this trinity's elementary, secondary to none
and it is to this union i'm dedicating my love
the roots of hip hop extend for eons of time
and won't simply be locked by meter and rhyme
it's not just a culture, nor profession or hobby
because it ain't something from which you could rob me
cast naked, deserted, i could die from starvation
but i'd never be hungry thanks to hip hop's creation
we all drink of its blood, and it of our thoughts
united in progress of all that we've wrought
we bring our emotions, creations, and beings
it sustains them with graff, b-boying, emceeing
so now that you see balance exists in our minds
perhaps we can all try to read through the lines
hip hop's omnipotent, past physical worlds
a rainbow of thought that's long since unfurled
i ask you to ponder this all, in existential perspectives
and see just how long.. that we've all been connected.
