Intro (Darae) What happened What happened What happened to songs with real lyrics/ Real music, I don't hear it/ Where did it go/ All I wanna really know is what happened/ Verse 1 What happened to hip hop, somebody please answer this question/ It seems to get to the top you have to lose all self-respect/ It's like the wacker you r man, the further your gettin/ Can someone raise up the bar cause hip hop is in a depression/ I'm askin, when did it start n why'd we let it stick around/ Because the best wanted to sell n tried a more commercial sound/ Someone took it way too far n ran it straight into the ground/ Pre-teens spent their parents cash, now hip pop is world renowned/ What happened to Pac's stories, Biggie's impeccable flow/ People so caught up in the radio I guess they never will know/ Sell albums stead of songs, piracy came along/ Listening from start to finish? Now them days are long gone/ That's y they appreciate every track I'm on/ Cause they ain't heard consistency like that in so long/ N it ain't my fault for callin it out/ We're just tired of hearin wack shit, that's all it's about/ Chorus (Darae) Tell me when did it all go wrong/ We're tired of listenin to the same old song/ Everybody's fed up of seein all of that actin/ The only thing I'm askin is/ What happened *SplYt* to talent at the top of the chart What happened *SplYt* to rappin bein an actual art What happened *SplYt* to hip hop, where did it go We gotta make a change now cause it's happenin too slow/ Verse 2 I ain't a hater but I’m critical I say rap today is pitiful/ N I get ridiculed because the props I give r minuscule/ N few and far between I can't say names cause it's political/ Tell me when this hip hop thing turned into middle school/ I'm writing up referrals, killin these beats, plural/ I came from out the middle of nowhere, rural/ Now I'm coming after your girl n her girl/ One of a kind, it ain't fair for me to compete in your world/ Got tracks for days, I ain't waitin I'm just stockin up/ They sayin I ain't got a genre cause I ain't got just one/ I keep spittin, these lyrics I keep h hackin up/ I'm just a disappointed fan, n trust me there's a lot of us/ I'm yellin enough, nah I'll make my own music/ Make my own way to the game, draft up my own blueprints/ I’m doin this for my own amusement/ Plus I'm tired of hearin you spit/ Chorus Verse 3 Is it the labels, tryin their best to create staples/ Dudes so happy for a deal they'll sign whatever's on the table/ They think, just cause they have other money backin/ They could flood the market with wackness n see what track hits/ This whole fishin with dynamites kinda like/ Pickin a title fight with iron mike in the prime of his fightin life/ Hah cause you have me comin after/ With a whole album of hits, n all a sudden they ain't a factor/ I got inspired by the rap coalition/ Now it's Wendy's Day, n hip hop is back with a mission/ To hear actual spittin, not just wack compositions/ So I rap with a vengeance, n make em have to come listen/ I could go for days on this one, the deck's already stacked against em/ Every track I get done way passed them, then some/ Just when you thought you heard the last artist rip one/ Fall Back Plan drops, n I have their attention/ Chorus I’m just askin what happened, hey yo Low, weren’t you here for the heyday of hip hop? Spit somethin real quick, get em hah. Hidden Verse (Danny Dranx) What’s with nowadays cause hip hop ain’t what it used to/ Cause if I had my ways I’d take it back to where I choose to/ Where pictures were portrayed through the lyrics to give views to/ N music and wordplay would work together to seduce you/ Now the music that they make they lack the talent or refuse to/ They push an 808 n now they think they can produce too/ Not saying that I’m great just saying look what it’s reduced to/ N hope it’s not too late to take it back to where it used to/ Chorus
