Industry Shakedown Lyrics - Singles - Freddie Foxxx

Yeah 

"industry shakedown" 

I call this one 

The industry shakedown 

Word up 

Uh huh 

"industry shakedown" 

Now the reason I call it... the industry shakedown 

Is 'cause alot of niggas have fucked up 

"word up, industry shakedown" 

Now what I mean by fucked up is 

They don't wanna see the game played right 

"word up, word up" 

So me and my nigga pete rock 

Gon show y'all how to play the game right 

"get ready for the industry shakedown" 

"word up, word up" 

Word up, word up" 

[verse 1] 

Uh, uh 

I can't stop rockin I was born to keep it hot 

Fought through miles of pain just to get what I got 

Without crying, took mad shots without dying 

Man they know when I'm in town mad heads start flyin 

Who ever thought that I would be dealt the hand 

That would make me the most feared lyrical man 

Ask tone how it feel not to be able to sleep 

I was layin on him in his dream squeezing on the heat 

I kept the pressure on him, now, I'm universal 

Now he played this money game called hand, reversal 

I remember when I thought that I could rock at def jam 

While I was watching other niggas caught up in a def scam 

I remember when I stepped to lyor, I should've blown him 

'cause that cracker been a crook, ever since I first known him 

Thought I'd sale to atlantic 

But there's niggas workin for 'em that'll sink the whole label 

Like the fucking titanic 

What I gotta do is run some dick up in sylvia rhone 

So she can hear bumpy rockin on this microphone 

Maybe I can elektra - fy her brain 

Show her how I take love and turn it to pain 

I never been an ass kisser 

I call it if it's right, if rappers ain't gay or dikes 

Then they unpluggin your mic 

My shit is cordless, I'm thugged out and wild as shit 

And I'm comin for my crown, it's bumpy knuckles baby 

And it's... [scratches] 

The industry shakedown 

"word up, word up" 

Ha! 

"word up, word up" 

"ready for the industry shakedown" 

Yeah! 

"word up, word up" 

"industry shakedown" 

"word up, word up" 

That's right nigga 

Me and my nigga pete rock gon show you motherfuckers how to shake it down 

You ready for this one? check it out 

[verse 2] 

When I spit hot potato, I was peepin tommy boy 

But didn't wanna be the the next act that they would destroy 

See labels be all on your dick, when they see you have some paper 

But I flip the game, 'cause I pull the capers 

Got way more nut, than date rapers 

You better be tryin to get yourself an office 

Way on top of that skyscraper 

I bring the ruckus, your money lookin proper 

Have you ever been stuck up by a hardcore hip hopper 

Forgot ya signed to cappa, a real donnie brasco 

A nigga wit mics and tape recorders, all up in his asshole 

Speakin of police, I found a interscope 

And when I looked through the hole what I saw was dope 

I saw a new nigga, sittin behind a big desk 

Wit a big head and a big chest 

And a big belly, talkin on a celly 

Hatin real players, cuttin niggas throats 

Like he was tryin to be the mayor 

Then some niggas rushed in, punched him in his mouth 

Threw him down on the floor and started stompin him out 

Screamin fuck steve stoute, serve street justice 

Cryin on the floor wit your lip all busted 

You went out like a pussy, fuck the dough you got 

'cause wit all that money nigga, you still can't buy a heart 

Only gangstas play the part 

I'm still around, to bring you, the industry shakedown 

Ha! 

"word up, word up" 

To the pete rock, and you don't stop 

To the pete rock, and you don't stop 

My nigga pete rock, and you don't stop 

[verse 3] 

I never felt like I should have to hold back anything I say 

So I make the kinda records red alert don't play 

Because I flow too hard, my voice is penetratin 

Or maybe your crate needs renovatin, I'm used to hatin 

That's why I'm hockey on you niggas, stickin and skatin 

I heard about the blaze battle, they asked me to be in it 

But to not consider me one of the 50 great 

So I reviewed my tapes, figured my position 

Sat and thought for a minute, grabbed the phone and said listen 

I sell less records than some niggas out wit a deal 

Gettin more cash and all my diamonds is real 

And you want me to battle for a rolie, that i'ma take anyway 

Better leave me the fuck alone bumpy knucks don't play 

It made me laugh when I think about how gary harris 

Tried to play me than got fired and all fuckin embarrassed 

Fly shit is that he saw me, wit a smile, at a club 

Reached to shake my fuckin hand and, brought back a nub 

All them temporary spots will be filled time again 

You can hate me now but I will rhyme again 

Fall down climb again, more wild, more corrupt 

Still spittin more shit, more fire, more abrupt 

And I'll never put my two guns down 

Why's that 

'cause I need 'em... for the industry shakedown 

"word up, word up" 

C'mon! 

"word up, word up" 

Yeah! 

"industry shakedown" 

That's right 

That's what the fuck I call, a industry shakedown 

"word up, word up" 

And it's a lotta motherfuckers out there that I didn't name in this 

Motherfucking song but I tell you this much 

"get ready for the industry shakedown" 

Don't think I forgot motherfuckers, 'cause I reserve my options 

It's bumpy knuckles baby, ha 

"word up, word up" 

And the chocolate boy wonder 

I show you niggas a fast way, to six feet
