Hip Hop lyrics - Wyclef Jean

[Intro:]

Refugee public, Akon, and on and on

All hands on deck

Can I go in for a minute?

Cause there's no limit to the Cash Money Hip Hop game

[Hook 1:]

Things done changed but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

I see them rappers with them big gold chains

Remind me of the Slick Rick rings

And Rakim was the microphone fiend

And Bobby Brown was the RnB king

Yeah, now every rapper wanna bang

What happen to the days we were all in the same gang?

[Verse 1:]

Missy and Timbaland, original dubstep

And Bambaataa had our future on tape deck

Man, my daughter is seven I had to put her in check

And let her know that K.R.S.

Is more than letters in the alphabets

She's Will.I.Am'ing with her mommy

She's like: "Dad, let me teach you how to dougie"

Things done changed but they stay the same

I'm bumping Nas in the Range down memory lane

Talib, Mos Def, PE bought them lectures

My first music video Rakim, I was the extra

Run DMC ran rap, now run's a preacher

And we all are poor righteous teachers

Krush grooving, body moving

Rhazel, Doug E. Fresh, Biz Mark had me beat boxin

And Kim, Foxy and Eve are all warriors

Ya MC Lytes, ya not B's, ya'll Queen Latifah's

Looks... pretty Nicki's in Ibiza

And every fella had a crush on Salt N Peppa

She so Naughty By Nature, Long.Live.A$AP

Written on a Wolf Gang back pack

[Hook 2:]

Things done changed but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

Yeah I see the rappers man poppin' champagne

Them Beasty Boys that Rick Rubin

And Big L was the lyrical king, and Bobby Brown was the rnb king

And we all wanted to be Russell Simmons

What happened to the day when we were all in the same gang?

[Verse 2:]

Yeah my young cousins rock Chief Keef tattoos

They say Easy E, what an attitude

I'm talking Cypress Hill, I'm talking Ice Cube

I'm talking Ice-T, Dr Dre, Snoop

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Crucial conflict

Twista, Tech N9ne, flipped it this way

I'm talking from back in the day in the bay

Keak Da Sneak and the homie Mack Dre

They should have made a hip-hop dictionary written by E-40

Red & Meth, Keith Murray, Kanye, Trick Daddy, Too $hort

Flo ridin' with a Pitbull, Miami going crazy

Bambi, Pimp C, UGK, Master P

Had me listening to the south in a new way

And I miss Outkast like people miss the Fugees

And there's a Birdman watching over New Orleans

And Scarface never seen a thug cry

Till he seen his Dogg Nate singin' hooks from the sky

[Hook 3:]

Things done changed but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

I see them rappers with the big gold chains

LL Cool J Ja, Irv, Murder Inc Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Link

We all wanted 5 mics in The Source magazine

French Montana at the Red Café

Wiz Khalifa rol the paper up 'we're all in the same gang'

[Verse 3:]

When I hear Waka, I hear ODB slang

I'm talking Wu Tang, Raekwon, 2Chainz

EPMD remind me of them Coke boys

And Joey Bada$$'s, Uncle Murda, boys

Grandmaster Flash red alert, I'm talking Kool Herc

Jazzy Jeff, Fresh Prince brought it to suburbs

And hip hop will never be the same

Since Eminem lost Proof and Heavy's out the game

We still immortal with the technique, making good music

But the tables ain't been the same since Jam Master used it

And Common used to love her and her 2Live Crew

Cause she stuck to her roots and let the DJ Screw

From Busta, Jay, Meek Mills to Tip to Quik

Kendrick Lamar, Luda, Ross, Wayne and Drake

50, Future & Game, Tribe Quest, Wale

And if we miss you, Puff Daddy do the remix

[Hook 4:]

Things done changed but they stay the same

I see molly is the new cocaine

A new Jesus piece with Chris Lighty's name

Biggy and Pac, East and West Coast kids

Mary J Blige, RnB queen

G-Unit, Ruff Ryders, Mobb Deep, DMX

Lox, Dipset, and we all in same game
