LYRICS (Rap Appreciation)

Jay the soloist vocalist - I'll take a smooth beat and roll wit this
one word defines my style - is versatile - the definition of my mission
wit rappin is precision wit every rap that I've written in tact wit the
rhythm - how long have I been makin this world famous hip hop
I rock and drop - unlock - what I got in stock inside of me
I used to drive to KFC crew in the ride wit me - we'd go to the drive thru
I'd hear 'em say "Welcome to KFC what would you like today?"
I'd say "Can I get some chicken?!!!"and then drive away
drivin off slow dyin laughin tryin not to crash and that was back before
makin raps was my passion - but I was still entertainin
my trainin remains in engrained in my brain and
with this track I'm explainin my rap appreciation

How long have you been listenin to world famous hip hop
For me it don't stop - the verse my life's work
How long have you been listenin to world famous hip hop
For me it's been right always there in my life
How Long have you been listening to the world's famous? (x4)

I could do politics or make you laugh with this
either way I do it this music is a gift
smoothness maneuver this numerous - my song list
too long to list - how long is my rhyme supply - J to the A - Y
can't say I don't try to flip this exquisite exhibit the wittiest
I keep it smooth like a jazz player - it's Jay the rap sayer
as a man - as a fan of this musical genre - doin this is an honor
some of the toughest rhymes got me through the toughest times
of my life - fun rhymes kept my mind off the strife
I go back to K-R-S - K-Solo and the best - P.E. (Public Enemy)
Beastie Boys - Run DMC and the rest - I could list so many greats
they inspired me - lit a fire inside of me - helped me find another
side of me - this is like a love letter to rap - we go way back

This beat feels like a hot cup of tea inside of me
how long have I been listenin - it's been a while for me
I love jazz and every category of music that we have
but it's somethin 'bout the rhyme that hits you right every time
that's why I write these lines for the art in my heart
from the start I been makin music from appreciation
thankful I was born in the time that it came in
Dear hip-hop - the love I got - I'm explainin

This track made by 2 dudes in the U.K.
in every nation cats have rap appreciation
this is for rap heads who know the rhyme is so fine
and for those fallin in love wit rap for the first time
wit rap I'm sayin I have mad appreciation (repeats)
