Bear the Astronot - My Back

Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that I always got your back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that we gotta bring it back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that I always got your back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that we gotta bring it back

Some people didn't grow up like I did
And for that I'm sorry
But I grew up a hybrid
Right between disco, rock, pop, 1 2 and you don't stop
80s and 90s hip hop
I remember reminiscing with pops
About bands when they still meant a lot
but once I saw KRS One blow up the spot
I knew I had to grab the mic
And some tables
And give it all that I've got
I Used to spaz on the needles
Bumping Jazzmataz
I could never escape
Hip Hop was my alcatraz
And I still never learned how to swim
Hip Hop still putting goosebumps on my skin
Now old heads complain about mumble rap
And It's a fact even on my tracks way back
I never compared my style to that
That's rap and I'm Hip Hop
And my mic is still kept intact
Hip hop always had my back
And my face
Rappers were the only ones worried bout race
DJs let me on
Because they knew I had taste
Bear the Astronot
Still Higher than space

Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that I always got your back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that we gotta bring it back

Hip hop is the spine in my back
The smile in my laugh
The reason that
I ever found my true match
So 1,2 mic check
We only expect
You show the caterpillars respect
I understand this vibe
Might not make you live
But just don't talk jive
Hip Hop rests inside
I used be like you
So predisposed it's true
I only worried about what was cool
But now these beats
They finally give me peace
I understand why you sound like the internet
Beep
And I sound like the streets
The dirt that connects the earth to your feet
Life long love affair
With 808s and snares
The underground and everything rare
This is Bear
The Astronot
Signing off
A hip hop head who still fucking cares

Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that I always got your back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that we gotta bring it back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that I always got your back
Hip Hop always had my back
Since way back
Because of that we gotta bring it back

Because of that we gotta bring it back
Hip Hop Hip Hop Always Had My Back
