Who Says Rock Is Dead Lyrics by Presence

Who Says Rock Is Dead Lyrics

    Enter my Delorean time machine
    back to the future we go
    to explore the rock scene
    all the while
    my style’s McFly
    even when I die
    big props to L.I.
    South Bronx
    Bedstuy

    Bacdaf*cup
    this ain’t Onyx
    pave the way for Dr. Dre and his Chronic
    the Gravediggaz ebonically demonic
    Nasty Nas and his supersonic phonic
    K-R-S-One Attack
    with the Boom Bap
    on the scene in Queens with Kool G Rap
    LA back in the day
    a Hundred Miles And Runnin
    forever gunnin with NWA
    Chorus
    Who says rock is dead
    are you ready to bang your head
    c’mon yeah
    who says rock is dead
    bang your head
    enough said

    Imagination is the key to be
    I let my mind fly free
    the second coming of the white emcee
    settin forth a prerequisite
    I know you’re tryin to get with this
    amazin caucasian persuasion
    always on some next shit
    perpetual rhyme delivery
    an enigmatic mystery
    you know I’m fit to be
    goin down in history
    Biggie Smalls and Tupac we mourn
    now behold Jay Slim
    another legend is born

    Headbangin and slangin as I enter the Wu-Tang
    Hoo-Bangin with the Westside Connect gang
    Respect is Hard To Earn like my paycheck
    Protect Ya Neck
    from the blast of the Tek & Steele
    Bucktown
    Duck Down
    just tryin to B-Real like Cypress Hill
    with my License To Ill
    I Kill At Will
    word to Rakim
    yo it’s Time To Build

    (Chorus)
    I flow about what I know
    in the process try to grow
    no I’ve never been to the ghetto
    and I’ll probably never go
    the wrath of an intelligent white kid with a mic gripped tight
    a lyrical fight ensues
    you lose
    gave ya brain blacks & blues
    knocked ya out
    stole ya shoes
    hit a spliff and took another sip of the booze
    shut yer yapper
    I’m the cracker rapper that’s makin all the rules
    refuse and I’ll prepare your moms for the bad news

    Bridge
    Some call it a fad
    it’s a natural evolution of music
    a few abuse it
    I refuse to lose it
    it’s part of my heart
    it’s for the kids
    not the music critics to tear it apart
    I’m calling it the Peter Pan Theory
    you can keep that lo-fi throwback crap ‘cause I don’t want it near me
    and if ya can’t hear me/start a band with “t-h-e” and you too can be a flash in the pan … can’t forget the Outkast
    Goodie Mo-B
    the D-O-double-G
    so shall I Proceed
    to rock the mic like MOP
    Run-DMC
    a Tribe called Hip-Hop will always run through me

    (Chorus)
