| Yeah… ah-hah
|
| Yeah… ah-ha! |
| What?
|
| I got so much trouble on my mind, refuse, to lose!
|
| Since I brought you up to speed in '99, my name’s been news
|
| Got my label off the ground, put on, my folks
|
| Dropped some classic but right now, we’re all, still broke
|
| And everybody’s still lookin at me — because I took the lead
|
| And taught 'em to believe, tried to maximize what my crew could be
|
| A wise man once said… with great power comes great responsibility
|
| Sometimes I wish it was somebody else instead but I took it on willingly
|
| My mom showed me the path to follow, how to be a role model
|
| Now I can’t do a show without hittin the bottle
|
| Come home and pass out like my father would do
|
| Up at 9 A.M. |
| load up a van, drive to another city do it again
|
| Sell a couple CD’s, get a couple more fans
|
| Watch people criticize me like they know who I am
|
| Blueprint you spit too slow, your vocals are mixed too low
|
| The basslines in your beats be makin my speakers blow
|
| Aesop put you on track, RJ got you on his back
|
| Stick to production, stop tryin to rap
|
| Another good album with bad distribution
|
| Another 100 magazines my music’s not reviewed in
|
| By the time the fans impressed, realize I’m the best doin it
|
| I’ll be makin shitty music
|
| Too many people got their hands out, feel like I’ve been takin inventory
|
| Not too many livin off of hip-hop, all I hear is hard luck stories
|
| You’re either too depressed to make a record, or way too broke to put it out
|
| Or too proud to get up off your ass, and go the independent route
|
| I used to wanna be signed, I don’t think it’s meant to be
|
| Most signed cats I know got less money than me
|
| Checkin they mailbox for checks they never see
|
| Might as well be puttin they records for free!
|
| When they wanna sign you, they’ll put anything you ask for in the contract
|
| But when the same cats owe you money — they never call you back
|
| All the fans you had from day one start to reject you when your shows get packed
|
| They say you’re sellout cause you got more fans
|
| And they never did like you and thought you was whack
|
| Damned if you do damned if you don’t
|
| I’ll be damned if it don’t feel just like a setup
|
| But my suggestion box is closed
|
| And I wish I could make everybody just shut up
|
| The first thing I learned about this rap game
|
| Is sometimes it’s best to be quiet and listen
|
| There’s a whole lot at stake
|
| So don’t be a bigmouth that makes bad decisions
|
| Don’t get caught up in the hype
|
| Talk numbers before your music is sent in
|
| Sometimes the numbers ain’t right
|
| So when you get a bum deal send it back with revisions
|
| Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrop! |
