作词 : Carter, Jones | |
Let me tell you a little story about the slave master. | |
Use a whip on your ass so you behave faster. | |
You got chains on your neck, and the | |
Man's respect. | |
You'll work all damn day, but you will never see a check | |
In the field. | |
Cotton you yield. | |
Your skin peels off your back | |
From the crack of the whip. | |
It won't heal. | |
Ya wish you had a shield 'cause he wields iron, | |
So when you act up, he smokes ya and keeps firing. | |
And it's tiring. | |
Forget about recreation. | |
One wrong move and it's death you're facing. | |
White motha ****az got the ball and chain | |
On your leg, and in the form of religion on your brain. | |
They say, "You the devil." | |
You say, "Who the devil?!?!" | |
Some of us was house niggers. | |
Some of us was rebels. | |
Some tried to get along the best they could. | |
And didn't nobody use the phrase, "It's all good!" | |
Would you? | |
They got you living like a shrew. | |
They throw you pig lips and chicken gizzards. | |
Then you make a stew. | |
They give us a white | |
Jesus to appease us. | |
We talk among ourselves and hope nobody sees us. | |
They had our brothers beating us. | |
Called us createns plus monkeys. | |
They just junkies mistreating us. | |
The master said, "If you don't whip 'em, you're dead!" | |
It was ****ing with his head, but he beat us instead. | |
And we bled. | |
Red blood flowing like a flood. | |
Then he'd rape your mother. | |
Stick her face in the mud. | |
They were ruthless! | |
If you tried to front, you'd be toothless. | |
Some tried to run even though it seemed useless. | |
Virginity was torn. | |
Soon babies was born that was half white. | |
And now his skin is kind of light. | |
You think you're special, because they let you | |
Oversee the carnage? | |
But I bet you | |
Will get hung, even if you stick out your tounge. ' | |
Cause they pull out the shank and stick it right through you're lung. | |
Now it's 96 and white people say, "Forget it. It's all in the past." | |
And some even regret it. ' | |
Cause they think we'll set it. | |
Now my missions to get federal | |
So I can raise a black family with a true devils | |
And you know how that goes. (Chorus 2x) | |
The slave master watching over you, | |
Always trying to tell you what the **** to do! | |
The slave master watching over you, | |
But ain't nothing gonna stop me and my crew! | |
This is for you kids trying to get signed. | |
Just a little something you should keep in mind: | |
The labels are slave masters. | |
Artists are slaves. | |
Don't get too raunchy. | |
They want you to behave. | |
You get signed. | |
You're thinking, "This is great!" | |
But wait You never knew what was at stake. | |
Creative control they withold. | |
You sell your soul when you sign on the dotted line hoping to go gold. | |
But you'll never see that, not without promotion. | |
The label'll just throw your shit out, and got it floatin'. | |
You think your shit is potent, but ain't nobody buying it. | |
If they ain't never heard of it, ain't nobody trying it. | |
If they ain't never heard of it 'your record' they murder it. | |
You can complain. | |
But they are not concerned a bit. ' | |
Cause when they signed you, they thought you'd make a hit 'cause of who you were affiliated with, and all that bullshit. | |
Frustrations. | |
All these rules and regulations | |
Just so you can have your shit heard by the nation. | |
And be patient. ' | |
Cause by the time they find a lead release, your shit is ancient. | |
You think they're working your album? | |
You're mistaken. | |
And if you flop, you get dropped. ' | |
Cause you ain't the star. | |
You didn't go pop. | |
Just straight up hip-hop. | |
Time to get a mop. ' | |
Cause without no promotion, of course sales drop. | |
Peep the break down: | |
If tapes cost ($)10, | |
You'll probaably only get to see a dollar in the end, | |
That you cannot spend. | |
Cause your budget gets recouped. | |
So you never get cash unless your record is "Shoop." | |
You better hope you get shows, which will not happen | |
If you don't have a record that's the main attraction. | |
Even if you sell a million, you'll get burned | |
Cause they keep half your cash just in case of returns. | |
For a while, you wonder why rappers don't smile. 'cause to them, you're not an artist. | |
You're just another file. | |
Another nigger used to make another buck. | |
They don't give a ****. | |
And if your shit don't blow up, tough. | |
But the star gets both promotion and devotion | |
From the whole ****ing staff. | |
At you, they laugh. | |
The star probably don't know that he the house nigger. | |
Thinking he bigger cause he's the, pick of the litter. | |
These lebels think backwards. | |
They push the acts that need it the least | |
So they can get all the money they can when it's released. | |
They take you to a restarant for a feast, | |
And then expect you to pck up the check? | |
That's why | |
I give props to niggaz who is independent: ' | |
Cause they make they own money, plus decide how to spend it. | |
Splendid.And lets end it. | |
And don't get offended. (Chorus 2x) | |
The slave master watching over you, | |
Always trying to tell you what the **** to do. | |
The slave master watching over you, | |
But ain't nothing gonna stop me and my crew. | |
Hieroglyphics! |
