Dear Hip Hop, stop
This shit has gone too far, stop
Please see that turntables an’ mixer are returned to Kool Herc, stop
The ghettos are dancin’ off beat, stop
The master of ceremonies have forgotten
That they were once slaves and have neglected
The occasion of this ceremony, stop
Perhaps we should not have encouraged them
To use cordless microphones
For they have walked too far from the source
An’ are emittin’ a lesser frequency, stop
Please inform all interested parties
That cash nor murder have been included to list of elements, stop
We are discontinuin’ our line of braggadocio
In light of the current trend in ‘Realness’, stop
As an alternative, we will be confiscatin’ weed supplies
An’ replacin’ them with magic mushrooms
In hopes of helpin’ niggas see beyond their reality, stop
Give my regards to Brooklyn
