Please listen to my demo [Repeats: x 8] 

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) {:21} 
Incredible young nigga  
You can't believe 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 f*ck around and loose control of your mind body and your soul 
Grab a hold 
Undisputed on the microphone, what you think 
If you wink, I'll make you extinct
Did you blink, did you ever drink your own brain matter 
Shotgun enema, this ain't no cinema 
All praises due to the creator 

For this man here, that can't no nigga stand near 
True, inventor of the 'W'
What You want to do, I got the red and the blue 
Show me one nigga dedicated to raps 
I'll show you ten niggas dedicated to snaps 

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

Well turn up the bass and the motherfuckin' treble 
About to do a deal with the devil for my vocal level 
Bullshit points, plus he want to rub it in 
And take all my publishin', god damn 

Do i take it up the rectum 
Just to rock the spectrum 
Give up a right arm, just to do a form 
Hell no, all you motherfuckers goin' leave this bitch limpin' 
No more, record company pimpin' 

No more (No more), record company pimpin' 
No more (No more), record company pimpin' 
No more (No more), record company pimpin' 
No more, no more, no more, no more 

You ain't pimpin' me (uh uh, uh uh) 
I ain't pimpin' you  (uh uh, uh) 
I just want to be free (I just want to be free) 
So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you) 

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo) 
I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo) 
I just want to be free (I just want to be free) 
So what we gonna do (can I holla at you, holla at you) 
 
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 'cause 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 attorney, Burnstein and Burney 
Nigga that's his lawyer, ain't got nothin' for ya 

Treat ya like they employer, I'm a warrior 
Bite you in the ass like a Georgetown Hoyas 
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 f*ck I get in so much debt 
God damn, we just met 

He said, welcome to the rap game 
Motherfucker be confused and broke before he know what's happenin' 
You can be the star and f*ck women 
I'm a just play the back and keep pimpin' 

No more (no more), record company pimpin' 
No more (no more), record company pimpin' 
No more (no more), record company pimpin' 
No more, no more, no more, no more 

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo) 
I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo) 
I just want to be free (i just want to be free) 
So what we gonna do (i got to holla at you, holla at you) 

You ain't pimpin' me (uh uh, uh uh) 
I ain't pimpin' you (uh uh, uh uh) 
I just want to be free (I just want to be free) 
So what we gonna do (can I holla at you, holla at you) 

[Repeat: x 4]
It went from please listen to my demo 
To get your ass out my limo 

[Outro] 
Mama's, don't let your kids grow up to be rappers 
Unless you tell them if they gonna get in this business 
They better learn this business 
Or they goan get fucked 
Simple as that 
Simple as that
