Hip-hop don't inspire no more/busters bust so lackluster/the rap i grew up on was jumping with life/it's like something up and died /and can't be revived/thankful god's got the hot spotlight/bigup to mase and kanye/for taking the time/i praise his name on high/yo/the timing's right for revival/idols need not apply/exit stage right/likely to change/is the climate/can't life survive new terrain?/we're taking the game/basic and plain/beatmart's staying/face it/get out the way/

Bridge
Change the game/change the way they see hip-hop/
Change the game/change the way they live hip-hop/

We can change the face of hip-hop/make a change/
