Hip Hop Saved My Life Lyrics
Dedicate

Uh
This one right here goes out
To my homie with the dream
Nah mean
He said, I write what I see
Write to make it right, don't like where I be,
I'd like to make it like the sights on TV,
Quite the great life, so nice and easy,
See, now you can still die from that
But it's better than not being alive from straps,
Agreed, a Mead Notebook and a Bic
That click when it's pushed and a whack ass beat,
That's a track that's weak that he got last week
Cause everybody in the stu is like "That's that heat"
A bass heavy medley with a sample from the seventies,
With a screwed up hook that went
'STACK THAT CHEESE'
Something, Something, Something...
'STACK THAT CHEESE'
Mother, Sister, Cousin...
'STACK THAT CHEESE'
He couldn't think of nothing...
'STACK THAT CHEESE'
He turns down the beat, writer's block impedes
Crying from the next room a baby in need,
Of some Pampers and some food and a place to sleep,
That plus a black Cadillac on D's
Is what keep him on track to be a great MC
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved me
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved my life
Reps north side so he rocks them braids,
Eleven hundred friends on his Myspace page,
'Stack that cheese' got seven hundred plays,
Producer made him take it down, said he had to pay,
Open Mic champ two weeks in a row
Ex D boy with a B-boy flow
Glow like Leroy you should see boy go,
Got a daddy serving life and a brother on the row,
Best homie in a grave, tatted up while in the cage,
Minute Maid got his momma working like a slave,
Down baby momma who he really had to honor,
Cause she was his biggest fan, even let him use her Honda to,
Drive up to Dallas, where to open up for amatuers,
Let him keep her debit cards so he could put gas in it,
Told her when he get home he gon' take her to the galleria
Buy her everything but the mannequins, ya dig
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved me
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved my life
His man called, said "Ya time might be now.
They played ya freestyle over 'Wipe Me Down'.
They played it two times, said it might be crowned
As "the best thing out the H-Town in a while."
He picked up his son with a great, big smile,
Rapped every single word to the newborn child,
Then he put him down and went back to the kitchen,
And put on another beat and got back to the mission, to
Get his momma out the hood, put her somewhere in the woods
Keep his lady looking good, have her rolling like she should
Show his homies it's a way, other than that flipping yay
Bail his homie out of jail, put a lawyer on his case,
Throw a concert for the school, show the shorties that it's cool,
Throw some candy on the caddy, chucked a duece, and act a fool,
Man it feels good when it happens like that,
Two days from going back to selling crack, yessir
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved me
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved my life
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved me
One you never heard of, I...
Push it harder, further the...
Grind, I feel like murder but...
Hip Hop you saved my life
Hip Hop you saved my life
Hip Hop you saved my life
Hip Hop you saved my life

I remember how I came across this song. I was sleeping and than I had a dream I was rapping these lyrics but I didn't even know the song. So than I wake up and tell my brother, he tells me that he was blasting the song all morning. Weird huh? So than I started listening to it and really got into it. Cause he has a sick flow, and his lyrics have great means to them. "He says, I write what I see. Write to make it right, don't like where I be" That's my fav line cuz I'm a writer and I don't like where I'm at so I write for enjoyment, self expression and to one day get out of this place.
i feel like at the end of the last verse when he is talking about all the stuff he is doing after he gets money like '...Show his homies it's a way, other than that flipping yay Bail his homie out of jail, put a lawyer on his case, Throw a concert for the school, show the shorties that it's cool....' taht are productive,but after that he starts doing nonsense stuff like buying things for his car and smoking weed, like non productive stuff. then the next line is saying that in two days he is going back to selling crack. i think it means that he went back to being broke after doing things like that, like buying new rims. he became like every other rapper who just cares about money, cars and clothes.
omg, I love you Nikki!!!
Who is being refered to when they sing "hip hop just saved my life"?
Its suppose to say "Hip hop you saved my life"....It is just suppose to be from the view of the guy who is struggling and trying to make it in Hip Hop. He used Hip Hop as his get away from the streets and the game.
@BDP0313- Fix'd. Thanks for the correction.
haha, is he insulting Rich Boy?
I swear i think home girl said hip hop has saved my life
This song is about Houston, TX as well.
Apart from that Nikki Jean sounds dead-hot in this song, it's brilliant.
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool was a brilliant return album.
