Hip Hop (Sou Eu e És Tu)

Envy is a very ugly feeling
Get it in your head that I'm not here to compete in a tournament
It's not about pushing each other to see who gets there first
Being true, it's not about imitating what you see on TV all day
Just because I have a contract, doesn't make you more real than me
You don't know half of what has happened to me
Hip Hop is not the soundtrack of a crime
And if you think being a thug impresses, you're wrong, it depresses
If you think to get my attention you have to speak badly of me
You're wrong again because I don't work like that
Hip Hop is giving props to whoever deserves them
Hip Hop is listening to this great beat and nodding your head
Breakdance, Graffiti, DJ, MC
Beatbox, street wear, rhyming in the M.I. c
The club overflowing, people with their hands in the air
The DJ mixing, getting the crowd to dance

Chorus - Hip Hop don't stop, bring your crew, the party is here
DJ, B-Boy, listener or MC, Hip Hop is me and you
Hip Hop don't stop, put your hands in the air, feel the beat
Throw your hands up and move your feet
Boss AC is me and you

Hip Hop is the soda that makes me walk
It's the Sun up there at night, it's my moonlight
It's the reason we're here
Hip Hop is using a name that wasn't on the ID
Wearing XL, wearing hats backwards
Hip Hop is using words that aren't in the dictionary
It's waking up late to make a great beat
It's copying the dance steps from Beat Street
Saying what no one else says
It's not having money but still being happy
It's listening to a sound and getting into a trance
It's a definition that is not quite within our reach
It's passing by a street and leaving a tag
Hip Hop is challenging the MC who comes next
It's a way of life, a way of being, a way of existing
Hip Hop is what I am and what I will continue to be

Hip Hop is having the right to disagree with whatever you want
And it's not less Hip Hop just because you talk about women
In a way, Hip Hop is being in politics
Not accepting everything quietly, it's developing critical awareness
The sound that analyzes, criticizes, contests
Don't forget that Hip Hop is also a party
Rhythm and poetry is what characterizes us
And those who can't dance improvise
