 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Too many clones, hold microphones, in a zone 
Wannabe drones, proud to share the same tone 
They should leave it alone, if they can't be original 
Keep it at home, if you want to go digital 
It might be off the dome, but that don't mean that it is pivotal 
F*ck whatever title you give yourself, because it is mythical 
Y'all ain't even lyrical, with no vocabulary, 
Miseducatin' the youth, you're my idiot adversary 
You got no business with a mic, and no one needs to hear it 
Tryin' to get facebook likes, when you've stolen all your lyrics 
Whatever happened to old school, don't bite me with your protools 
Back in the day it was genuine, and now they think it's so cool 
To not have their own style, with a dumb fuckin' smile 
All their friends make cameos, in videos, and think it's wild 
Never go the extra mile, because they're always in denial 
Wastin' their time, and money, I think it's funny, all the while 
How they don't even notice, take a listen 
M-E-N-T-A-L, put my name up on the list 
Spell it with an at, so you can know just where it is 
I'm the one that has the temper, spittin' with a lisp 
And I don't like to fight, but we can all be throwin' fists 
So don't get pissed when I be on my own philosophy 
You be on some robbery, tryin' to cop what I am offering 
And that is bothering, I think your S has an apostrophe 
Get your head up out your ass, and stop the colonoscopy  
Wow, take a listen, do you hear the sound? 
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout? 
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth 
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud 
Take a listen, do you hear the sound? 
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout? 
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth 
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud  
Y'all got to get blunted, to get in the booth, and still not tell the truth 
Why you trippin' on this man, when you always have an excuse? 
I could care less about rank, or what you think is bank 
How you gonna go, and hand out CDs, that are all blank? 
Completely unprofessional, you'll never be put on a pedestal 
Doin' business like that, your so-called career won't be plentiful 
How can you not be sensible, just tryin' to be in the spotlight? 
When your mind is closed, and locked tight 
Your mouth is open, and not right 
Your tracks are hot like frostbite, in the middle of a dead winter 
You're about to be done like December, and no one'll even remember 
Like that shit's really impressive, same words without a message 
You keep tryin' to mimic a gimmick, but it ain't so cool to get arrested 
Don't even get it twisted, I don't have to prove shit to a hypocrite 
I don't need to go out of my way, to outsmart the idiots 
These youngsters are confused, the mic has been misused 
Y'all just want to win, but I'm sorry, you're just gonna lose 
How long does it really take, before they realize what is fake? 
I'm pretty sure, there's more where that came from, but give us a break 
Not all of y'all are gangsters, not all of y'all sell dope 
And it's not bein' a hater, if we can see right through the smoke 
We ain't got to be from the same block, to make some kind of sense 
And if you don't like to unify, then go build you a fence 
Stay in your comfortable box, until you're lowered in your hole 
And if you survive those hard knocks, it's 'cause you found some self control 
Play that much needed roll, and provide us with some integrity 
You should practice what you preach, don't just be a street celebrity 
I got love for you, if you're honest, and a lot more, if you're modest 
But start a war, with a carnivore, and they'll see you get demolished  
Wow, take a listen, do you hear the sound? 
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout? 
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth 
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud 
Take a listen, do you hear the sound? 
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout? 
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth 
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud 
Take a listen, do you hear the sound? 
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout? 
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth 
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be loud 
Take a listen, do you hear the sound? 
Do you think they really know what they be talkin' 'bout? 
Rappers don't be thinkin' 'bout what's comin' out they mouth 
Now days, it's all fake, they just want to be
