Cant Scam Finesse

I must be too observant for the universe to understand
My logic is simple yet effective
If you are a fan Got a bunch of hip-hop OGs DMing promo
They'll scam a young artist out of thousands and leave him so broke
The fuck am I gonna do with your corny little intro

You want me to pay you to cosign me? That ain't official
Let me break down how shit goes down in the industry
A label will sign you for a couple mil, then eventually
They'll hang you to dry, and leave you on your own independently

While still having creative content control on your imagery
Depending on your own promo, cause they won't invest into you
They ruin your reputation, so labels don't invest in you
They love signing young talent cause they know nothing about royalties

And lawyers fees, they'll milk you for what you got till you're spoiling
Label cop a chain for you just to see you get killed
Life insurance on your body, they don't even need a will
They change your image up so you don't even know it's real

Why don't you read that fine print with a lawyer before you sign a deal
You sell your soul, they hand out checks so fast, Carl Luis stops.
The only ones that I respect is Tech, Millyz and Russ
And I got sponsors in my DMs, execs still hit me up

They want my signature and blood and your next, but if you're really smart
Then you up, stop, observe, think, and listen
Watch them turn, and things go different
God is first, follow intuition, don't let a label ruin your image

I must be too observant for the universe to understand
My logic is simple yet effective if you are a fan
Got a bunch of hip-hop OGs DMing promo
They'll scam a young artist out of thousands and leave him so broke

What the fuck am I gonna do with your corny little intro
You want me to pay you to co-sign me? That ain't official
Let me break down how shit goes down in the industry
A label will sign you for a couple mil, then eventually

They'll hang you to drive you, leave you on your own independently
While still having creative content control on your imagery
Depending on your own promo cause they won't invest into you
They ruin your reputation so labels don't invest in you
