[Juice]
Back when (back when)
Way back (way back)
I`ma take you way back (way back yo)
One nigga`s life on 2 inch (my life)
Let`s go back (way back)
Way back (Uh huh)
Follow me now...
I spend long days and long nights gettin` songs tight
But Mr. Battle Rap got seen in the wrong light
You know my resume, Skribble Jam, Rap Olympics
Rap sheet, from then on it`s all academic
I taught the underground how to make a flow great
Juice and Eminem on The Wake Up Show tapes
For most fan, that`s when Juice was first seen
I showed the world how to spit it off the head verse clean
Showed emcees what a real verse mean
Nasty off the head since the age of thirteen
I used to embarass other rappers back then
Before T-Boz started datin` Mack 10
Way back before I was a name in the game
No rap fame, no fat chain
Now they line up to see Juice when he tours
And for those that stuck with me, I`m exclusively yours
[Juice & Female Singer - Chorus]
For real hip hop, real hip hop (Northpole)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Southside)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westside)
So get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)
Ill hip hop, real hip hop (Northpole)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Southside)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westside)
Now get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)
Blaze battle cats try to flock me out of +Ho-Hair+
Another competition for free, don`t even go there
I`ve paid my dues, I slayed my crews
I done ripped everybody, afraid of who?
Tell HBO they gotta pay me when the jet land
Then I show the whole world that I`m the best man
Ask me, the whole thing was just a truly wack function
Crowd only cheered if one of the tracks touched `em
Crime snapped, but it went to my man from Minneappolis
All y`all gotta feel J-U when he rappin` this
Eydea got nothin`, I knew this day would come around
When networks and magizines would pimp the underground
If I sued, I could prolly gone for sure in court
What the fuck is blazin` niggaz? need tour support
We can`t let the ??? rappers effects us (hell nah)
We gettin` raped by the cats put in posistion to protect us
[Juice & Female Singer - Chorus]
This is ill hip hop, real hip hop (Midwest)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Eastcoast)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westcoast)
So get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)
Ill hip hop, real hip hop (Northpole)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Down South)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westcoast)
Now get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)
I think back to when I battled Super-Nat in two-thou`
Juice`s first loss, what`s he guna do now?
I held my undefeated rev sacrid inside
But like all real Gs, I had to take it in stride
A nigga beats me, and his flow is off key
That`s when I vow, I never let `em make dough off me
On The Wake Up, Nat was sayin` - Juice Was Pre-Wrote
Not knowing I`m so sick, I see the next three quotes
And I know he sound like Big, but Juice is unbelievable
You don`t have to know to understand it`s simply inconceivable
In this underground world, it`s hard to be believed
When cats try to say your shit is pre-conceived
Nat tried to give me some advice about my flow
He gave me the ultimate respect, and didn`t even know
He said - Stop Writing Your Battle Rhymes & Freestyle More
I just smiled and thought - That`s What I`ll Freestyle For (haha,y`all
dont have no idea)
I swear I`ma always keep it real for y`all (for real)
I mean that sincerely, from the heart you know what I mean?
What`s this?
[Juice & Female Singer - Chorus]
This is ill hip hop, real hip hop (Northpole)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Southside)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westside)
Now get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)
Ill hip hop, real hip hop (Midwest)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Eastcoast)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westcoast)
Now get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)
This is illl hip hop, real hip hop (Northpole)
I can`t let `em steal hip hop (Southside)
I`m here `til this shit stop (Westside)
So get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt)

Now get `em up if you feel hip hop, hop (No doubt nigga)
