Da Grym Reefer: (Verse 1)
Riches all these niggaz want
Riches all the niggaz want
You'd think they would know how to get the money
But they really don't
90% business
10% talent
Niggaz say they know the game
But ask them bout Soundscan
Ask em bout BMI
Ask em bout ASCAP
They lips will start moving but ain't nothing ever coming out
Nigga you just wanna do this rap shit for a hobby
Been rapping for 10 years
But your shit is still sloppy
Cuz every time something gets popular
You copy
I grab the microphone
And Sylvester Stallone
Rocky
Hard like a motherfucka
Not coming like no other suckaz
Niggaz rap like Superman
But really Undercover Brothers
Jokers
Without focus
That I smoke up
Like a skinny junt (joint)
Taking all challengers
I'm not scared of anyone
So go ahead on
With all that talking like you on
Cuz all a record deal is
Is a glorified loan
So...
(Hook x4)
What about the half....
That you've never been told
Mack Mirage: (Verse 2)
Any path watch ya lane .. where ya go .. How ya doing
One mistake .. Everything you built .. Crumbles into ruins
Wave goodbye .. there goes you're rap career .. you were pursuing .. Well not really
It depends on who ya know .. Or who ya screwing
Nah no hate ... Some rappers sign gucci deals yet FAIL to graduate
Most that were better than the SOME who sign don't survive .. the trappers fate
I say it's TIME .. we clear the slate .. Forget debates
Lets be honest the billions made in this industry could help the welfare states
And the KIDS STARVING .. WHILE WE GOT RAPPERS AND BALLERS STRAIGHT BLINGING!!
may I reiterate
One positive about the deal you're subtracted from the unemployment rates
Think about the game I've given from my soul
next time Baller / Rapper ask yourself about ...
