lyrics

(Intro)
Yo, man, I don't really think that people know what I'm about, like, what I do, I'm just kind of bored with everything in general, you know, bored with life, bored with people, I'm just tryin' to do my own thing, you know, show people something different, like here, check this out, yo

(Chorus)
I am hip hop, no doubt, the future lives inside of my mouth, my ears catch the rhythm as it walks by, and when I open up, this is what I talk like, so let's go, go, let's flow, flow, I am the arbiter of my soul, when it comes to stoppin', I don't, no, so until the beat does, I won't

(Verse 1)
Jensen, from the new school like a Freshman, but passed the test and graduated to a veteran, learned the lesson, but I still ask questions, takin' it step by step in the direction of what's destined, a real hip hop head, just check out my collection, real hip hop's dead, it needs a resurrection, so fuck doin' it blandly, I'm uncanny like the X-Men, and session after session's a reflection of expression, a new kind o' rhymer, designed a mind of invention, to use while I write up the lines inside of each sentence, revvin' like an engine with a heaven-like ascension, yeah, I guess I'm just a dreamer, I walk in the clouds like Bespin, I reach for what I want, but my arm lacks the extension, but continues to lengthen as I grow with progression, I imagine like Lennon, so, all these raps that I'm pennin' are my credo to the people, from beginnin' to the endin'

(Chorus)
I am hip hop, no doubt, the future lives inside of my mouth, my ears catch the rhythm as it walks by, and when I open up, this is what I talk like, so let's go, go, let's flow, flow, I am the arbiter of my soul, when it comes to stoppin', I don't, no, so, until the beat does, I won't

(Verse 2)
Wannabes ain't scary, seen about as much crime as Mayberry, they're underground for a reason, they should stay buried, fake rappers ain't passin' a lie detector, sellin' wolf tickets like they're scalpin' at the Target Center, what you're sayin' is quite clear, I can see through it, and you keep recyclin' trash like the Green movement, most of these Hollywood rappers used to be tighter, but now they only flip the script if it comes from a screenwriter, I'm all for branchin' out like trees and doin' something different, but it doesn't come with ease, so use a little thinkin', 'cause what you gonna do if both careers fizzle out, might o' been a lot smarter to charter a single route, on a big screen but can't see the big picture, now you're just fodder for some hungry up-and-coming kid's dinner, I'll stick you cash cows with a cattle prod 'til the brand you got's more hot, because your rap is not

(Chorus)
I am hip hop, no doubt, the future lives inside of my mouth, my ears catch the rhythm as it walks by, and when I open up, this is what I talk like, so let's go, go, let's flow, flow, I am the arbiter of my soul, when it comes to stoppin', I don't, no, so, until the beat does, I won't

(Verse 3)
We're like a telephone keypad, a star next to a zero, but rhymin' ain't like dialin', I don't text it to people, I never phone it in, I'm in your face live, there's no limit 'cause the road to riches ain't got interstate signs, posers and fake kids need to fall back like daylight savings, it might extend your fifteen minutes of fame if you wanna be famous for a little bit longer than just a dayshift, put in more work, the hip hop game is being cheated on by a bunch o' players, I put together words like Scrabble chips, but it won't be a bored game if I'm innovative with these raps I flip, sprayin' art from my mouth like graffiti, magical when I come out like a genie with sounds on a CD, individualistic, I'm proud just to be me, C.M.J., speak and say things with every ounce of my being, because

(Chorus)
I am hip hop, no doubt, the future lives inside of my mouth, my ears catch the rhythm as it walks by, and when I open up, this is what I talk like, so let's go, go, let's flow, flow, I am the arbiter of my soul, when it comes to stoppin', I don't, no, so, until the beat does, I won't

(Chorus)
I am hip hop, no doubt, the future lives inside of my mouth, my ears catch the rhythm as it walks by, and when I open up, this is what I talk like, so let's go, go, let's flow, flow, I am the arbiter of my soul, when it comes to stoppin', I don't, no, so, until the beat does, I won't
