Gone Bad (Forever I'll Love H.E.R.)
Don't make the Good Girls
Go Bad, No!
Don't make the Good Girls
Go Bad, No
If you don't
If you don't really Love Us
Please don't Use Us
Uh
I feel like...
The Game just ain't the same for rappers
But this what happens
When we forsake the passion
And listen to these labels
Tryna sell us a dream
Profiting while we asleep
Dropping and waking us after
I ask ya
How you wanna be remembered?
what's the reason that you wanna be a member?
Cuz Hip Hop ain't been lucrative
For like 23 Septembers
The only ones been getting rich
Are owners not inventors
That's why
They been down playing independence
And I ain't hating labels
Just saying they disingenuous
Plus
Industry rule number 4080
Has proven more true
As the clock ticks
It's all in the optics
Gotta learn to be perceptive
And you don't gotta be receptive
To anything that I'm saying
I'm Just being retrospective
The Game done mistreated what we had
And that's been making our Girl go Bad
I Still Love H.E.R. though
And this isn't a generational thing
I don't think any specific generation has damaged Hip Hop or nothing like that
But I think we hurt the culture when we not in charge of it
And we fight over how things should go instead of just unifying over it
Know what I'm talking bout?
I'm saying
Like...
You got Melle Mel
Over here talking out his neck
But be the first one
To start talking about respect
Older generation talk
How it's not all about the check
Accusing the lil rappers of
Having a disconnect
And yet
They the ones I think
Best understand
How monetize your art
And make it worth a 100 bands
But after that's figured out
Instead of for the fans
The culture becomes about Showing bands on the gram
And man
Here I am a middle child
Old enough to know
The kids got stuff to figure out
But still young enough
To feel the stuff they tryna say
Respect the elder's words
And know that all of them have kinda strayed
I'm tryna say
Old Heads Listen Up
Young Heads Grow it Up
Middle Children Step it Up Please
We the Bridge between the worlds
And Our Era's pretty Golden too
But we was also culpable in the beats on our Girl
Cuz if all we do is fight
All we gonna be left with
Is H.E.R. getting infected
Cuz most of these execs sick
Happy Birthday Hip Hop
I Love You!
And I really really Hope I'm making you proud
Cuz you raised me well
Y'all let's make sure we keep the unification
Building Bridges instead of Burning Bridges nah mean
Don't let these labels make fake wars within the culture
There's room for all of us
ALL of us
Yerrrrr
Go Bad, No!
Don't make the Good Girls
Go Bad, No
If you don't
If you don't really Love Us
Please don't Use Us
