Well, well, well if it isn't this mother****** again! Are you serious? | |
You figured that ******* had disappeared and ************t, but here he is/ | |
Wielding the power of perspective you only get when investing years in this | |
Cause nothing's more expensive than experience/ | |
And I'm spent - delirious - ballin outta my mind | |
And I've lost it, I'm buying all of ya off, fall into a line | |
Every fraud has a price, and it's bottom dollar bargaining time/ | |
You can't offer me bribes cause all that you got is already mine/ | |
But that's awfully kind – Thanks! Now shut your ******g mouth! | |
Y'all been ******g round…in my ******g house | |
I'm hearing the same voice coming out of a hundred mouths – | |
A hundred thou, if we count the underground | |
And there's nothing I frown upon harder than air quote \"artists\" | |
Borrowing their whole product from whoever's popular and then ain't so modest | |
Like they so hot because they so blogged | |
Like it wasn't their marketing dollars that paid for all it, No-wait! Don't call it! | |
Don't hate, Tone! Play the game, don't knock it | |
But that is a lot like forcing me to swallow your snot, then being like \"Hey! don't vomit!\" | |
Y'all way too soft on these a-holes, dog | |
I'm saying this ************t from a place so honest there ain't no wrong in it – ******* EVERYTHING | |
When I wrote Politics I was a kid acknowledging all of the ************t | |
Now I'm an adult and I feel like a prophet | |
Like how many shots did I call? Should I call my accountant? | |
Since Hip Hop - the counter culture - became the culture of counting | |
Yet, accountability's dead – We just out for them checks | |
So proud that we gotta sell out for respect | |
And the barely hidden insincerity is so foul, you live with the threat | |
That hi-5's are always followed with a request | |
Somebody said that success is the best revenge, And it's a point so valid | |
That *******s is all network, no talent | |
It's an imbalance, so telling it like it is just might destroy your access | |
To this circus of trend-whores with coke habits - Well, I've had it! | |
I'm earnest - to the platelets in my bones | |
And anyone afraid to burn a bridge is too lazy to build their own | |
I'm obsessive compulsive - reps are what I know | |
A perfectionist with a restraining order - can't leave well-enough alone | |
So, I tend to expose the devil that's close | |
And that never bodes well for their soul-selling M.O | |
Like when our distributor fell in a hole and said they were broke | |
But they kept what they sold so I never saw a cent of my dough | |
Here's another lesson to quote, becoming friends with the press is a NO | |
Cause they grow resentful, it's best the less that they know | |
Them muf******s pretend that they're so essential – the probe isn't farfetched - | |
They're just star-******s with pencils in tow – | |
But yo. the most disrespectful joke especially low | |
I bled for this, bro - | |
Even went to the post to send you this **** - | |
Indie is trendy so Majors will cloak their artists as independents and pose | |
That's like repping as organic Pepsi & Coke/ | |
You didn't do it yourself! You ain't authentic, you never knew what I felt | |
The disabling stress that ruined my health | |
You're claiming credit like you ain't abetted by ludicrous wealth | |
And then aided by numerous helpers, You may fool em well, cause who's gonna tell? Me… ************tbag! | |
Did you get a billion views from an elf? (Oh it's magic!) | |
Clear channel don't have no room on its shelves for a book of spells | |
You know that ************t's bad, when a kid's hat is a big splash | |
And we skip past if he spits raps, but his hip dance is a hit smash within six flat | |
It's a ************slap in the face, when you've mastered a trade | |
And every brick you've paved for their way is smashed in a day | |
And so rappers become actors, and then actors become rappers | |
This ain't fantasy fulfillment, this ************t is facts for the stage! | |
It went from Sucka MCs to wack *******s to herbs | |
To *******s, to lames, backpackers, netcees to nerds | |
To hipsters to blog rappers to frat, struggle to drill | |
But none of those name come if you're ill | |
I am the hunter that went for the jugular | |
Spilling the blood of other hunters, And still I summoned the hunger to kill | |
But you bring out the worst in me, cause them pickings ain't nouri************ng | |
And it eats me alive - it hurts when this stomach is filled | |
The new run of the mill: chasing fame. In this day and age. When brutality's raging | |
Like fa************on and throwing cash in our faces, is gonna change it | |
It's vapid, it's aimless, I can't quit, I have to just say this - | |
Cause I'm a ******g man – and that's dedication | |
End of statement |
