Man, the rap game sucks now, everybody lyin'
Everybody fake now 'cause everybody tryin'
To be the fucking man, be the fucking boss
Be the king, be the queen like you need a fuckin' loss
Bleedin' for a cause, everybody activists
But ain't nobody playin' less they see a bit of cash in it
Canna spit, Canna sound like another DOOM
If they from the new school, they found like the rugged dude
Fuck it, man, I guess I'm just old now
Hatin' 'cause I stayed potent while everybody sold out
Stayed real, stayed true to the format
My rap got mules than abuse, that's a door mat
Whore rap and I ain't talking 'bout a tender
'Cause everybody bent over for a bit of slender
Offender, man, go back to the old you
Stop copyin' copycats from a old crew

These eyes done seen fuckery hidden
Behind the scenes, see, these artists don't know
That the label that they jockin' pimp them out like hoes
From A&Rs to exec, how'd you think they get their check?
Let me put this in perspective, these scorpions and snakes
Man, they won't let you live, tell you what to think
What to wear, how to look, how to act, how to wear your hair
Gassed-up suckers who think they know it all
Big willy speaking stupid and silly got you thinkin' that you gonna ball
You a mark gettin' used 'til the day of your fall
You gotta play buy the rules or your project gets stalled
I got enough balls to stand tall, laughing at y'all
Actin' like I'm gonna get black-balled
I'm independent, not that fake indie vibe
Don't depend on the system so I can truly ride
