|
| You came in the game with intentions of fame
|
| They gave you some paperwork they never meant to explain
|
| Ignored those before you who went through the same
|
| Showed you the slave sheet and then you penned in your name
|
| With no representation, you got no protection
|
| No voice or translation to stop the deception
|
| But that was the motive, the moment that they wrote it
|
| Knowing cars and jewelry is all that you notice
|
| At first you was bangin' and underground famous
|
| But due to the arrangement, your art starts changin'
|
| The hard fought painstakin' flames in your language
|
| You’re far from the same that you initially came with
|
| All lost in the moment quick
|
| Your likeness and your music are both under new ownership
|
| But when you fall, you’re no longer a guest here
|
| They’ll drop you and sign another one like you next year

|
| The label CEO is talentless
|
| He’s only enamored with the construction of financial imbalances
|
| 90/10 split means the pay is low
|
| Only a snake would justify this disproportionate ratio
|
| Rappers are hoein' for Lyor Cohen
|
| And other Jews who represent themselves to be all knowin'
|
| If it was up to them, artists wouldn’t get one dime
|
| Made millions off of rap and never spit one line
|
| Who controls entertainment and makes it a weapon?
|
| Sumner Redstone, Michael Eisner and Levin
|
| , dictators of all communication
|
| Own the record labels, media and tv stations
|
| Interscope, Universal, Turner, CNN
|
| MCA, MTV, all belong to these men
|
| CBS, ABC and NBC too
|
| Are run by those who worship money so they exploit you, c’mon
|

|
| Our music is being bled, the integrity’s dead
|
| Top rappers gave up self-respect for bread
|
| But you don’t care about the culture ‘cause you got yours
|
| But what you think they say about you behind locked doors?
|
| Yeah, you can blame the artist for negative songs
|
| But who’s the puppet-master that’s lettin' these records get on?
|
| They only sign you today if you buffoonish and foolish
|
| And when they do this, the hood starts to mirror the music
|
| Heavily influence whatever they rappin' we do it
|
| And it was planned by an enemy who already knew it
|
| Why we only hear about dope, jewelry and hoes?
|
| Why you think all of these rappers wearing female clothes?
|
| It’s on us to separate, then break that phase
|
| A lot of ‘em that’s in the door got raped both ways
|
| If they can keep you in a daze, turned up and lit
|
| It’ll stop you from exposing their corruptive shit
|
| Sing it
|
| It’s your soul that they wantin'
|
| Your whole life is what they ownin'
