| This about to be the realest shit you ever heard
|
| I lynch rappers, got them hanging on my every word
|
| These bitch rappers be claiming they slinging heavy word
|
| Really snitch rappers, niggas singing like every bird
|
| Rich rappers, nah, I don’t know them niggas
|
| Niggas don’t get rich rapping, they selling clothes or liquor
|
| My flow is sicker cause I flow with vigor
|
| I’m no beginner, peep the whole agenda
|
| Control my center cause I gravitate with Gravitas
|
| This my inner monologue
|
| Burning down your party cause our cocktails is molotov
|
| My crime mob make you stop, lock and drop, don’t get wollywop’d
|
| Actually battery in my back like a copper top
|
| Got it popping, started on the B-side of Body Rock
|
| Direct to fan, I’m running my shop like my mom and pop
|
| Modern day slavery today to be an artist, watch
|
| They treat them like a product and try to mount like a hot 'n tot
|
| Molly pop, niggas not caring if they body rot
|
| Partying like Mardi Gras, get the cream like Häagen-Dazs
|
| Golly gosh, this is Utopia, cornucopia
|
| I’m known to start revolts against the Romans like Zenobia
|
| Hoping to keep coping copious amounts of opiates
|
| Tried to start a union, but they blocked me like a Soviet
|
| I hope they get it, I’m sick of explaining history
|
| I’m rolling with a circle of winners, we claimin' victories
|
| It ain’t a mystery, the hate’ll make it bittersweet
|
| They hate when I engage to debate 'em like Wale’s Twitter feed
|
| Who I’m kidding? |
| I’m the great debater
|
| My crew stay winning, we stay innovating
|
| Your circle is rotten as great tomatoes
|
| They get high with you then start dry snitching like Jose Canseco
|
| Prosecco, I’m sipping vino with a vivid hue
|
| Haberdasher rocking Borsalinos like Hasidic Jews
|
| Pitiful, rappers never stand up to the ridicule
|
| That’s why I had to get at you
|
| Wear it if it fit the shoe, nigga
|
| (Baby, just shine your light
|
| If you’ve gotta dim yours, so they can shine brighter
|
| Just stay bright, so shine your light)
|
| We’re in a transitional world right now because the nature of distribution is
|
| changing. |
| The distribution channels that people have built over the last
|
| century or so are in flux. |
| The print, the visual artist, the musicians…
|
| which on the one hand intimidating and on the other, immensely liberating.
|
| The rules, the assumptions, the now-we're-supposed-tos of how you get your
|
| work seen and what you do then, they’re breaking down. |
| The gatekeepers are
|
| leaving their gates. |
| You can be as creative as you need to be to get your work
|
| seen. |
| The old rules are crumbling. |
| And nobody knows what the new rules are,
|
| so make up your own rules |
