IT’S OFFICIAL, I’M GETTIN’ OLD
BY A. J. WOODSON
Let the truth be told, the games been sold
Hip-Hop has lost it's soul, it’s official, I’m gettin’ old
There was a time when I used 2 love 2 rhyme with my boys
The box was always boomin and moms would yell, “Turn off that noise”
We were makin’ music, it wasn’t noise to me
One two, one two, yes yes y’all, an emcee was the thing to be
Rock rock to the planet rock; don’t stop once the beat drop
To the beat y’all and you don’t stop, now that was Hip-Hop
Now my daughters 15 and a fan of the current rap scene
My mom’s words leave my mouth, you don’t know real music, I don’t mean to be mean,
Let the truth be told, the games been sold
Hip-Hop has lost it’s soul, it’s official, I’m gettin’ old
Now I don’t hear Hip-Hop, just melodic noise
Don’t rhyme all the time, lost track of all my boys
Who are off doin’ some grown man shit
No more classic hip hop songs, only remixed hits
No more freestyle battles, only beefs and confrontations
Used to die to rap, now they’re dying from rap, can't understand that situation
Damn never thought it be, when did it get away from me?
Used to love her, now I don’t know her, guess that’s the way the ball bounces gee
Let the truth be told, the games been sold
Hip-Hop has lost it’s soul, it’s official, I’m gettin’ old

Thanks AJ,
Someone had to say it. Hip-Hop is at a stand still. Some of these "artists" seem to be letting the hook carry the hit. Used to be just opposite.
"Four minutes and some seconds" is no more, and too much work for these cats. Somebody get Mary on the phone,...I need another hit.
I couldn't agree with you more my brother, the state that the game is in right now is pitiful, wack mc's with wack rhymes. Who do we blame for such a state that mediocre mc's have put us in?
