[Maestro
Everyday I wake up, I thank Go
'Cause I never had to kill, never had to ro
Always had a jo
The industry's hard, full of fraud
But I never pulled a card on the boulevar
I just work har
Ask a vet about disaster, you haft
Be able to get a label to blast your procraster
Nating the laughter, has to wai
After you pass the snake, stay awake Hobbe
That's the break
You wanna make a record, check i
You need more than your boys around your way giving you credi
'Cause you can have a spectacular, vernacula
But take your contract to a lawyer to look after y
'Cause labels have mastered th
Skill of gassing ya, after ya, dropped the flip like a spatul
Snatch your Acur
And all the bitches you wante
Are flaunted your riches are laugh at y
Cut you off like a dagger, support you like a ladder
Your pockets ain't fatter, you be sadde
So you better have a better strate-g
Can't you se
It ain't healthy, nobody could tell me it's hell se
Takes more than a dope LP to be wealth
Let me show you the path, you're going too fas
You're choking your promotional staff, ain't no knowing the hal
They look and they laugh, and take time of
Cut ya off, no loss you're just a write of
Now you're feeling neglected and rejecte
Check it, it's all about makin' record
CHORUS X
[Maestro Fresh Wes
You want to see pandemonia ri
Well you're melodious shi
You shackle and tackle by chicks, packing like Appleonia(?) si
Having the hoes on your joc
A smooth individual, your videos on Yo! and the Bo
Collecting your props, you think you're getting your not
Forgetting black man attacks man's upsetting and sweating ya pop
Ringing the bell, ringing 'em hel
I'm telling them facts, black be clever you better rebe
You're outta here like flash danc
You and your wack stanc
Regroup from your advance, fat chance
You're say that you're only playing with your sou
You're innovative, but they got creative contro
You're a puppet on a string, ain't got a fucking thin
You can sing so they cling, 'cause they know thay going to brin
Money with your rhyme but you're def dumb and blin
Don't waste time nigger, sign that dotted lin
CHORUS X
[Maestro Fresh Wes
Now in the studio, you got the stupid flo
It doesn't matter tho, it's who you kno
You think you got it bad, girls got it the harder wa
Labels love to see a black woman in lingeri
What's a broad to say when a label say we'll make you million
Buy clothes for your children, you know she hit the ceilin
They sing for me, we'll bring you G'
But injuries in the industry, could come instantl
I see the way they make a G a day, but what a fee to pa
Throwing and showing your T and
You're taking a blow, your ass you shake it to sho
Is raking the dough, but they played you and make you a h
You're a piece of meat, between the sheet
'Nuff brothers seek to reach you, to freak or so to spea
Your Moms can't believe this, her daughter showing cleavag
She's speachless, and says oh help me sweet Jesu
Exposing the punanny, just to win a Gramm
But when that ass is flabby, you gone, word to dadd
Stop the degradation you're facin
This information I'm raising to the Queens of my natio
The shit can't prolong, goes stron
And when you sing a slow song (baby keep your clothes on
Times are hard, many hearts are broke
Some start to smoke, Farrakhan ain't jokin
When he said we're being setu
So black men and women keep your head u
When you're makin' record
CHORUS X
OUTRO - Farrakhan sampl
"The greatest musicians, the greatest rap stars.The greatest black
artists, are sitting here today.But I want you to know, you're being
setup.By the smarter that is coming down."
