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
