Oh mercy, mercy me. | |
At this point of my career | |
I should already be on my third | |
CD/But every turn of the way has been met with adversity/ | |
But I’m cursed, it seems, and | |
I been disserviced purposely/ | |
And it’s herbs like these, that’ve got my blood boiling to the third degree/ | |
And I’m nervously avoiding this urge to just burst and scream/ | |
Feeling the thirst for revenge! | |
I can no longer pretend/ | |
That mentally | |
I won’t be plummeting off the deep end/ | |
I’m desperately seeking these trendy mother****ers, | |
Just so I can teach them never to speak on any of us/ | |
There’s something you wanna say? | |
Get that other rapper’s cock out your throat! | |
No wonder he’s been coming out your face/ | |
Son, never doubt | |
The Plague, cause we infect against even the best/medicines and vaccines, sedatives and bactrine/ | |
I’m fed up with the rap scene/ | |
As I’m Dealing with an amount of politics that would even give the president bad dreams/ | |
Every thing you see and hear was paid for/ | |
So, don’t try to discredit me, cause my shit isn’t played more/ | |
Just imagine having to wait, bored, at the stage door/ | |
Cause nothing aches worse than a name on the marquis when it ain’t yours/ | |
And you’re trying desperately to make noise, but all you get’s hate, | |
From biased record pools that’ll chart anything for their next crate/ | |
Or elitist | |
DJs that only spin vinyl – ‘go get pressed!’/ | |
But give ‘em a | |
Nas exclusive | |
MP3 and they’ll play the shit dead. | |
These vicious double-standards can be seen in many arenas of the game/ | |
From radio burn to video screens, the shit’s the same/ | |
From Magazines to mix | |
DJs – You give ‘em the green, they give the | |
OKCause niggas are greedy leading the race, they sell you a dream and spit in your face/ | |
And it isn’t easy to look away, when you’re focused on your | |
Budden career/ | |
Pumped up with potential, but you can’t fire nothing from here/ | |
Need anything done? | |
Then you gotta do it yourself with no help/ | |
When you make on your own? | |
Then everyone shows to share the whole wealth. | |
But, Oh well – | |
Another day in a cold hell. | |
When everyone riding your coattails are the same cats that’ll pray your record don’t sell/ | |
I won’t settle for | |
NO REMARKS about ‘room for improvement’/ | |
When you boo at | |
QN5 and refuse to review the music/ | |
Bitch, you’re fronting on the future, stop watching your back and face forward/ | |
Reviewers best to listen to this like they paid for it/ | |
Cause, what the ****!? | |
Do I need to get shot to get props? | |
Do you need talent? | |
I guess not… but with drug money and a guest spot/ | |
You can spend lots on a track from the producer of the month/ | |
And that’ll induce you with the buzz, that’ll get you news-scoops and the pub/ | |
But Buddy, | |
I’m flat broke. | |
So on that note, | |
I’ll say goodbye to articles/ | |
Bookings for college shows, distribution pushing us hard for dough/ | |
Then you wondering why you’re seeing the same niggas over and over/ | |
The more original the flow, then, the colder the shoulder/ | |
The same reason you can’t stand that verse you heard’s/ | |
The same reason you know it word for word. | |
Dog, it’s | |
Politics.My patience is drifting/ | |
Cause I’m in no political position or famous enough to state my opinion/ | |
Of this game and it’s minions, | |
I’m staying silent and numb/ | |
Cause you can’t put your foot in your mouth or swallow your words while you’re biting your tongue/ | |
So with nice-guy reluctance, | |
I’m fighting my grudges/ | |
And it’s hard to be polite with others when you’d rather take a knife to ****ers/ | |
Here’s my final shot at diplomacy – believe this/ | |
Swing for your third strike, | |
I’m calling you out on the remix/ | |
Chorus:I cant breath | |
And I can’t see | |
And I can’t move | |
Cause I’m sick and tired of these politics | |
I can’t sleep | |
And I can’t think | |
And I can’t live | |
Cause I’m sick and tired of these politics. |
Oh mercy, mercy me. | |
