A nigga told me, the record company's the pimp
|
The artist is the hoe, The stage is the corner
|
And the audience is the trip, god damn

[verse one]
|
Incredible young nigga, you can't belive i'm just one nigga
|
God damn i've gotten bigger
|
Intellect superior,
|
Walk in a room and make the whole interior, inferior
|
If you look me in my eyes
|
You might fuck around and loose control of your mind body and your soul
|
Grab ahold
|
Undisputed on the microphone, what choo think
|
If you wink, i'll make you ich think
|
Did you blink, did you ever drink your own brain matter
|
Shotgun enima, this ain't no cinema
|
All praises due to the creator

|
True, inventor of the double-you
|

|
Record company death traps settin' decoys
|
Just to pimp young b-boys
|
With a cup full of yak, studio contact
|
Maniac with a contract

About to do a deal with the devil for my vocal level
|
Bullshit points, plus he want to rub it in

I'ma keep it simple, it went from "please listen to my demo"
|
To "get your ass out my limo"
|
Stretch presidential
|
It's essential cuz the record company will have your ass in a rental
|
If you let 'em, You have to behead 'em
|
Contracts you never read 'em
|
CEO's you never met 'em
|
Sent to an atourney, Burnstein and Burney
|
Nigga that's his lawyer, ain't got nothin' for ya
|
Treat ya like they emloy ya, i'm a warrior
|
Bite you in the ass like a Georgetown Hoya
|
When they ignore ya cause, you got to hold your balls
|
Catch a motherfucker slippin' in bathroom stalls
|
And then you show 'em that you ain't a rookie
|
Let 'em know that you'd rather have, more points than more pussy
|
Pimp turned bookie
|
Now how the fuck i get in so much debt
|
