jeff porter - heroes lyrics

(verse 1:)

as this beat knocks
i think back to when they pumped reeboks
big daddy kane, preem, you know, pete rock
see back then, i was only just a toddler
nas was illmatic, wu+tang were shaolin mobsters
they planned to get dollars, cash ruled everything around ’em
chris wallace blossomed to the great big poppa
lamont coleman went toe to toe with a young hova
em invaded borders and very rarely was sober
x was real hard but had trouble with the media
outkast was dope and their style it was so devious
the souls of mischief, they were oh so mischievous
black thought was literally spitting encyclopedias
snoop, dre and pac they were blowin’ on the left
gang starr was doing it so they could get a rep
the l+o+x wanted money power and respect
now i’m sitting here thinking man i wonder who is next

(hook) (x2):
this is for my heroes, my hip hop heroes
this is for my heroes, my hip hop heroes
they never wore capes, instead, they rocked mics
they never wore capes, instead, they rocked mics

(verse 2:)

ma$e taught us what it meant to be from harlem world
foxy brown and lil kim held it down for the girls
the blueprint was blessed by this guy named mr. west
mobb deep was rugged and raw, what’d you expect
now it’s ‘03, we’re first hearing curtis jackson
had so much charisma and you could witness the passion
i was mad young, graduated elementary
two thousand and five, game dropped the documentary
k!lla cam, with dipset, he found his calling
juelz was k!llin’ sh+t, and jim jones was ballin’
wayne came, k!lled that mixtape game
and then his protege would tell us nothing was the same
slaughterhouse, mac miller, king los, beast coast
cole, kendrick, action bronson, fred the godson
so i grabbed my pen, limit is the sky
let’s clarify something, hip hop, it never died

(hook x2:)
this is for my heroes, my hip hop heroes
this is for my heroes, my hip hop heroes
they never wore capes, instead, they rocked mics
they never wore capes, instead, they rocked mics
