hella tight songs [01:56.68]And after a couple a months [01:57.54]The album was finished so he gave the masterd [01:59.58]To the label so they could handle the bissness [02:01.74]Aww fool I know who

[02:47.98]But he didn't see the loot [02:49.49]Every time he called the label [02:50.77]They gave him the same song and dance [02:52.14]About his advance having to be recouped [02:54.03]And on the day of his second video shoot [02:56.42]They told he had been let go [02:58.06]It seemed the president thought [02:59.45]Rap artist wernt bringing in enough dough [03:01.91]You know not enough capital [03:03.60]So they dropped the whole [03:05.14]Department of Black Music [03:06.06]Now most of them artist didn't go on to do shit [03:08.81]When back to 9 to 5's punchin clocks [03:11.06]Acceptin

[03:18.93]Next day at the building he goes in [03:20.98]Disguised as the dude from Fed X [03:22.56]Takes the elevator all the way [03:24.45]To the top floor no sooner then he steps [03:26.47]Out the

her and ignore it [03:36.39]Then she grabed his shirt like [03:37.54]Nah I could sign for it [03:39.00]So he gave her the clip board [03:40.56]Then acted like he was pulling a pen [03:42.47]Out of his uniform But a rag full of chloriform [03:44.89]Then placed over her face [03:46.28]The bitch was knocked out slid her fat ass [03:48.45]Under the desk just incase no time to waste [03:50.99]He went into the Big Man's office [03:53.32]As soon as Goldstien seen Mike face [03:55.42]He knew something was going on [03:56.56]So he reached for the phone [03:58.05]Just as Mike expected [03:58.80] [03:59.31]So he healed up the end of the cord [04:01.58]To show him that that shit was dissconected [04:02.95]He connected with a knife to his wind pipe [04:05.11]Now he couldn't scream for his life [04:07.11]He said none of this had to happend [04:08.50]If you would've treated your artists right [04:10.09]Trying to pimp my peoples art [04:11.73]Never giving us a equal part [04:13.55]But I was
