The Art of Perception
The cycle of hustle and flow
Exploiting you n*ggas not in the know
Until it's too late but thanks cause bro
Concerns of the woke canceling the show
Arose, but en route to chase perfection
We conserved the art of perception
The art of perception
Are y'all done deflecting the art of
I don't sit well with 100k plays in streams 100k on the gram
Less than a K for a show, it's okay I understand
90% of the game is trickin' on n*ggas comin' in
Wired out to desire sh*t that don't seek a benefit
If you won the lotto would you not be on 10
Or will contentedness not reach you a until its all spent?
Ms. unsigned Mr. unsigned
You understand the power we possess combined?
Imagine TV more commercials than shows well its the same in the game
Cause if your content ain't product ain't sh*t to sell with ya name
Capitalism only us can invest us
Only so many links for us to make this necklace
Too old and laid back to be on young & restless
These days they makin' shows off n*ggas that's the extras
Online all at one time
Head in the clouds as if there's more than one sunshine
The cycle of hustle and flow
Exploiting you n*ggas not in the know
Until it's too late but thanks cause bro
Concerns of the woke canceling the show
Arose, but en route to chase perfection
We conserved the art of perception
The art of perception
Are y'all done deflecting the art of
When a promoter do a show that look important
But there's more than 7 artists that's performing
He or she don't give a f*ck about ya talent
They just trynna pack the building get it crowded
Then let they Instagram know it was a packed event
$20 tickets then they used the bag for rent
Tell me if to you that's sound like public figure
An app on ya phone ain't the public n*gga
They say half a bag of lays got air in it
But we still cop it cause it look full
So if my page got 20,000 followers
But only 800 is real I still look good
Kinda like a signing bonus from a label
To cover up the dough that you gone owe em later
The sh*t I'm saying they'll perceive me as a hater
My reply not being gullible is underrated
Still
Exploiting you n*ggas not in the know
Until it's too late but thanks cause bro
Concerns of the woke canceling the show
Arose, but en route to chase perfection
We conserved the art of perception
The art of perception
Are y'all done deflecting the art of
I don't sit well with 100k plays in streams 100k on the gram
