This boom bap hip hop goon rap shit talk Assume that clip stocked shoot back quick shot I spit hot bars my cadence colossal You owe us then pay us cause we impatient and hostile You complacent and docile my inclinations are awful Giving models and maidens indentations on they tonsils Words like the gospels my parables heavy MC’s got propensities for terrible envy Trendy rappers are plenty not many sounding they own They say the same stupid shit in that same stupid tone Gone binging on medicine Xanax and perkies Look like skin on a skeleton in a feminine fur piece Man, I come from an era where every word every letter Had better come from ya pen and men don’t wear mascara Then share a pic like they G’s throwing signs with the blick Low key on their knees snorting lines off a dick How many of us remain how many emcees amongst us Who steeped in the customs of Hip-Hop with substance Integrity, energy, innovative, creative I feel like Imma forever be monumentally jaded We’re standing on the shoulders of the mightiest men The industry has fallen so it’s time we begin To close the independent loop before they find it again And bring the artistry back like it’s the 90’s again There was a time that anybody who could rhyme was getting signed And the people at the labels paid no mind into the lines Of the message rappers had they just thought it was a fad Hip-Hop was in demand sell some records while they can Understanding not a damn thing in the lyrics they believed That all these rappers were just chanting disco dancing to the beats With the labels cashing in the lyrics started to advance The popularity expanding up the charts it’s climbing fast Ghetto blasting in the projects the youth all had it playing They started paying close attention to what the rappers all were saying Quickly recognized it wasn’t simply words and beats beneath the Chains and sneakers they disguised as rappers but they all were teachers Told the kids to reach for intellect, self-respect and warned ‘em Of the beast that pulls the strings in every sect in every corner The schism in the system and the ways it keeps us blind the labels knew this type of wisdom would disrupt their whole design So the execs devised a way that they could cripple their predicament Financing only those with flows that’s simple, dim and ignorant They deliberately stifled the voice of the truth And created new idols to poison the youth How many of us remain how many emcees amongst us Who steeped in the customs of Hip-Hop with substance Integrity, energy, innovative, creative I feel like Imma forever be monumentally jaded We’re standing on the shoulders of the mightiest men The industry has fallen so it’s time we begin To close the independent loop before they find it again And bring the artistry back like it’s the 90’s again For decades they had it all rigged up like the Emmys Many songs hit it big and when they did it they paid pennies An artist go platinum he still got holes in his Nikes While the label owner bagging him a Rolls for his wife Cause dude sold him a breeze convinced he agrees Now he all around owned 360 degrees These fat cats lived it up until a digital bomb Was manufactured in a basement by a kid named Sean With a lawn and nice home no plans for the future But was drawn to write code and liked to program computers Sean was fond of music but not enough to go buy it He had an idea not used yet thought might as well try it When he launched it the labels saw their profits start dropping Confused cause their stable of pop hits were chartin’ But people stopped shopping and overnight it imploded Why would anyone buy it when it's free to download it They moved to oppose it but the gate had been opened As soon as one site closed another eight of ‘em opened He took a dynasty down with a Mac in an hour That’s how piracy now put us back into power How many of us remain how many emcees amongst us Who steeped in the customs of Hip-Hop with substance Integrity, energy, innovative, creative I feel like Imma forever be monumentally jaded We’re standing on the shoulders of the mightiest men The industry has fallen so it’s time we begin To close the independent loop before they find it again And bring the artistry back like it’s the 90’s again
