Break down this game called rap, let's see what it holds
Is it science, mechanical and cold, or pure soul
Is it simply tricky arrangements of nouns and verbs
That's merged into money making machines that roam the burbs
And radio, in never-ending cycles of commercialism
Disregard for the origin of the rhythm
Simple algorithms
Formulas that mass produce hits for those that have the juice
Creative angle mad acute
Protest minute, revolutionaries on mute
Pioneers are stripped of ideas simply for loot
True innovators now being labeled player haters
In favor of your research, demographic data
They wanna dance, I make em wanna do it
You knew it
Money still make the globe circulate
Why create
Take hits from the eighties, rhymes written for babies
A dose of naked ladies to factor out the maybes

There you have it
A case of commercial success
But if that's all there is, where will this machine be going next
Beats and rhymes without no life in it is finished
From the start
Add some soul, becomes art
There you have it
A case of commercial success
But if that's all there is, where will this machine be going next
Beats and rhymes without no life in it is finished
From the start
Add some soul
Uhh

Now am I just a mad rapper, upset at the fact
That I ain't got enough loot to cop a Lex or a Lac
Should I be mad at Puff 'cause he got a personal jet
Or at Dre 'cause he watered his lawn with Moët
These are questions that you gotta ask yourself if you're real
Before you talk, do the knowledge behind what you feel
Yeah, it's fake to hoop and holla about loot and ain't got it
It's just as fake to wave a gat, knowing you ain't shit it
It's fake to claim the underground, but back on the block
You see ya man still walking and you don't even stop
We all dream of cream, and every man got a path
If you fake, a real nigga gone get up with that ass
In due time, like Cee-Lo, we keeping it true
But don't call yourself an artist if that ain't what you do
If you paid, stay paid, but don't sell ya soul
Machines have no heart, this world is cold

So there you have it
A case of commercial success
But if that's all there is, where will this machine be going next
Beats and rhymes without no life in it is finished
From the start
Add some soul, becomes art
There you have it
A case of commercial success
But if that's all there is, where will this machine be going next
Beats and rhymes without no life in it is finished
From the start
Add some soul, it becomes
Art
