(Phesto Dee) |
|
Master of emcee slave trade |
|
Pullin' chief executive chains on his muppets |
|
The prime minister of shattered dreams |
|
For these young black kids |
|
Itchin' for this rap status |
|
But he never could add up these b-boy mathematics |
|
His pragmatic toys made him money magnetic |
|
The abrasive weight of his unevasive vendettas |
|
Made him keep two barrettas with his industry contingents |
|
Ninjas, paid protection and fringe benefits |
|
He rolls from the stretch Benz Limited Edition |
|
Caught between a sinister smoke screen and henchmen |
|
Straightened his lapel ignited his cigarette |
|
And shoved the knot of his tie and awaited his death wish |
|
Reckless manslaughter left him breathless |
|
mashed his chest it's a crash in the intersection |
|
A fraction of a second |
|
Spun out on the sidewalk |
|
He couldn't pull his gun out |
|
Cuz instantly |
|
He was ****ed in the industry |
|
(Opio) |
|
Is it real or imagery? |
|
Senseless acts of savagery |
|
Could it be you got ****ed in the industry? |
|
See it |
|
You got ****ed in the industry |
|
(chorus) |
|
(Tajai) |
|
Cause niggas get off in this business |
|
Tryin' to come up |
|
Awestruck, starstruck |
|
But you know how they end up |
|
See it |
|
You got ****ed in the industry |
|
You know how they end up |
|
(Tajai) |
|
Video queen type for whom you's feen |
|
Appeared in many scenes |
|
Fulfilling her childhood dreams |
|
Got involved with this hardcore MC |
|
Said she like to kick it and hang cuz he |
|
Kept her clean |
|
Expensive thangs, European names |
|
Ice embedded amidst, ruby red flames she |
|
Stayed in his mix, figured it was all a game |
|
Swearin' that this nigga was her ticket to fame |
|
But little did she know there was truth to what he's sayin' |
|
'Bout how he made his livin' sellin' crack cocaine |
|
'Bout how he put caps in all his enemies brains |
|
I guess he missed the two that came checkin' for change |
|
Didn't hear his pits squeal necks broke on choke chains |
|
Baskin' in the glow of **** faces they just exchange |
|
Maxin' in his home, coolin' out just relaxin' |
|
Niggas busted and cappin' while she was in between his |
|
Satins and intravenous |
|
Drip her failing heart rate blip |
|
and the bloody mattress |
|
The sole legacy of this budding actress |
|
Coroner lights and cops cameras followed the action |
|
I wasn't surprise but rather saddened when it happened |
|
(Tajai) |
|
Cause niggas get off in this business tryin' to come up |
|
Awestruck, start struck |
|
But you now how they end up |
|
(Opio) |
|
The devious life you get touched |
|
See it |
|
But you know how they end up |
|
(Opio) |
|
Down in San Diego at the Gavin |
|
I seen a hip-hop journalist get stabbed |
|
That shit was savage |
|
Caught him in the stomach with about four inches |
|
Slapped him in his face relentless |
|
And pulled out some big shit |
|
He said look homie, you don't know me |
|
Put the gat to his head calm and slowly |
|
The journalist screamin' and cryin' scared of dyin' |
|
Dude mashed him in his jaw with the barrel |
|
Told him STOP LYIN' |
|
Picked him up off his knees with ease |
|
I thought he might squeeze |
|
'Til I heard the police yellin' FREEZE! |
|
He reached for the heavens |
|
Eleven cops put his head in a (shuminumaki?) |
|
Blood on the concrete |
|
That's when I peeped dude that shanked him was a rapper |
|
Hot cause his name got slandered |
|
Locked in a metal case for over a decade |
|
He thought he was invincible |
|
But now he wish that day never happened |
|
Askin' his God for forgiveness |
|
Purgin' is harder than vengeance tryin' to end this nightmare |
|
The industry clockwork oranged his whole shit |
|
And warped his brain until he flipped out |
|
Is that what is about |
|
You talk too much you got a gun in your mouth |
|
Talkin' big when you little man they called you out |
|
Shoulda kept your shit shut |
|
Cause you know how they end up |
|
(chorus) |
