Talk Is Cheap

Yo lemme talk that talk
And also walk that walk
Everyone scream loyalty
And change up for royalty

Stop saying you love
When it ain't been proven
If it's push to shove
I know what side I'm choosing

Niggas acting like bitches
Bitches acting like niggas
Game flipped like light switches
The real don't get any figures

YaYo said you die for cold fries
Aimed between the eyes
Closed casket a Mother cries
I'm not telling any lies

This life is so real
Wigs split with the steel
If you food you a meal
Lemme vent how I feel

Rest in peace Kay Slay
OG really fed the streets
He helped pave the way
So real niggas can body beats

I pay homage to the greats
My style's from the crates
Essence of the culture
Surrounded by vultures

Hip-Hop is my heart
I knew from the start
I had a gift with the art
My pen is a liquid dart

Fuck biting my tongue
My nuts gotta be hung
New York radio is washed
And never support real talent

Truth can't be squashed
Radio has a shitty palette
What happened to bars in rap
New York fell off the map

And started jacking styles
We gotta turn back the dials
Return to the peaks and summit
Cause the culture took a plummet

I'm in this for the greatness
Not for fame or chart placement
Authentic to my nature
So it's fuck any hater

They love you when you pop
But hate the music you drop
The industry is full of fakes
These rap niggas is Jakes

Word to Fif I see the Wanksters
Trying so hard to be gangsters
Nigga just be yourself
You ain't built to be someone else

Never sugarcoat truth
I'm danger in the booth
There's a lot of fake grinning
When they see you winning

Niggas moving funny
When you getting money
Let's keep it a buck
How many rappers actually suck

This isn't any hate
It's a topic of debate
Why do we glorify trash
And never celebrate class

Niggas rather have fame
Instead of critical acclaim
I want longevity in the game
Platinum Plus like L or Kane

Cause I'm fucking sick with it
In my New Era well fitted
Paying homage to the past
Quality is meant to last

A student of the game
Trying to establish my name
You niggas are so strange
Quick to sell your ass for change

My gifts are God-given
Ambition's goal driven
I left the streets alone
Niggas is dead and gone

I got in my zone
And started writing songs
Life is of the essence
So live it in the present

Bless the world with presence
Life can be pleasant
Finger fuck the industry
Keeping that same energy

They can't define success
Their roster doesn't impress
BET is a fucking joke
All the Exec's be on coke

All of the awards are rigged
I sit back and laugh
So many puppets on strings
Destiny isn't written

Destiny is made
I'm my only competition
History is paved
You really live that life

Nah you front for the clout
I can tell you about strife
I know what struggle's about
Industry niggas are plants

So they gotta get smoked
Can't even recoup the advance
But be quick to say you broke
What a fucking joke
These niggas are fumes I toke
