The people at the label say they want something to repeat
But all my people really want something for the streets

So keep hookin`, hey y`all what`s goin` on?
So keep hookin`, it`s time your word is bond
So keep hookin`, let`s do what we must do
So keep hookin`, ah, ah, let`s hear for
Keep, keep

Who can make it up? Dark ages here in rap
And the constant conversation has been, let`s bring it back
Corny rap style ni**as, they lack the pedigree
Deep waters they be in when they are just the manatee

Who me? I am unaffected, the whale, the hammerhead
The magnanimous decision, unanimous, I am fed
What chu lookin` at? Wait, I can help you with that
The formidable, unforgettable paintin` abstract

On the wall amongst them all from Tucson Michelle
A commodity, hot property, hears the mornin` bell
Guantanamo bay in ni**as deferrin` routs
You soliloquies are trash inferrin` that you got clout

Homie, what`s that about? You should revisit your scheme
Before the scheme it seems real, it reverts back to a dream
Into that pea head of yours you ain`t commandin` no tours
You seein` fee per diem, we seein` that in the doors

Plus a little bit more because she choosin` the prettiest
Thou while it`s wittiest on the low we the grittiest
Takin` the task, these barbaric insurgents
Who nursery rhyme ni**as and play like they are crime figures

Man, what could give you such a naive belief?
There`s examples all around of careers bein` brief
The Luke Cage of the loose leaf page
Run and hide, comin out in the yard, bonafied to be hard

So keep hookin`, keep hookin`,
Keep hookin`, keep hookin`
Keep, keep

So keep hookin`, keep hookin`
Keep hookin`, keep hookin`
Keep, keep

As if we readin` pressure`s higher, we should all be that inspired
To just lift it and take it higher, peep the name that`s on the flyer
Midnight Marauder, low end theoretical
Ringtone rappers rockin` shades are forgettable

Phantom of the rap world boo, yo you puss in boots
Energy`s electric who`s lookin` for a love recruit
High definition for the fortunate you to view
Challenges with riches, we will put you on strict review

Time to turn the tide around, comin` with the tribal sound
Brandishin` these microphones, we outlaws in the town
Corruption in the fool pit, we witness the jam
Acquisition of materials, the evil of man

Trickles down to MC`s, we combat the disease
With the good and hardy measurement, a real rap sediment
Degenerate genes and your body`s the host
You need to open up wide, while we give you the douse

Gather round, gather round, gather round
It`s the hottest thing
Gather round, gather round
Gather round, it`s the hottest thing

Gather round
It`s the hottest
