Fool

Intro:
(I’ve been your fool, say)
FOOL stands for Falling Out Of Love
And love is hard when you love hard
(I've been your fool for too long)

Verse 1:
Dear Hip-Hop, I hope this letter sees you in time
You've been climbing up the charts but falling into decline
Some even say you're dead now, I know you ain't dead, right?
Coz, man, I'll go dead now if I learn that they're dead right
Dear Hip-Hop, I don't mean to be a gatekeeper
But some people you keep bringing in our house can't keep up
You know where I stand; I really care about this rap shit
Do you really carе about these kids that rap shit?
I'm glad you're now famous in thе club
But some of us ain't famous so we're kicked out the club
Do I need to remind you that you're a priceless gem
And all this platinum and diamond don't meet the price of your name?
Dear Hip-Hop, we used to fly high as a culture
Now the only time I see you fly is with the vultures
I understand things aren't the same
But we gotta understand the same thing all the same

Chorus:
Coz I been your fool for too long
I been your fool for too long

Verse 2:
I miss the days when we didn't have to say "real hip-hop"
Coz Hip-Hop was real from the base to the tip-top
Dear Hip-Hop, we used to be gassed for every beat drop
But you ran outta gas before you got to the pit stop
Dear Hip-Hop, I'm just trynna keep you alive
See, with every punchline, the flatline gets a bump
I swear on God's name that I'm living for you
You know I mean it coz I never made a living from you
I'm really in it for you; yeah, you saved my life once
But I'm talking about what happened once you saved my life
Thought you were Hip-Hop too, now you call me too Hip-Hop
Your sons been wondering what happened to Hip-Hop?
Oh, Hip-Hop; I really thought I knew Hip-Hop
But I'm old school, I guess; so what's this new hip-hop?
I know we had our issues, Hip-Hop
But come back now; you know we miss you, Hip-Hop

Chorus:
Coz I been your fool for too long
I been your fool for too long
