[00:00.000] So many rappers have come and gone
[00:02.430] I guess this rap game has really done them wrong
[00:05.596] So many rappers tryin' to get their name out
[00:07.990] Many got caught up for just havin' their chain out
[00:11.070] So many rappers couldn't handle showbiz
[00:13.494] While I'm steady rockin', so you know what it is
[00:16.433] So many rappers made this their dream
[00:18.839] Then quickly, most have disappeared from the scene
[00:21.357] So many one-hit wonders, it's like a spin of the wheel
[00:23.972] You know I stay consistent and get it in for real
[00:26.990] So many rappers wanna rock like this
[00:29.495] But they got no stamina and they don't talk like this
[00:32.334] Plus I've learned to avoid the traps
[00:34.748] I truly love this shit, that's word to MTV Raps
[00:37.819] They'll get their little run and have a little fun
[00:40.425] Some'll go for popularity, to a little, then to none
[00:43.439] Some'll get jacked 'cause they floss too much
[00:45.755] Others'll leave the game 'cause they lost too much
[00:48.385] Some got bodied before they were totally on
[00:51.090] It's like when keepin' it real goes totally wrong
[00:53.773] Some get beat by managers, and shiesty execs
[00:56.486] Others are brainwashed by their unlikely success
[00:59.258] Well, I have proven time and time again
[01:01.755] That I'm built to last, so watch me shine again
[01:04.988] So many rappers have come and gone
[01:07.129] I guess this rap game has really done them wrong
[01:10.339] So many rappers tryin' to get their name out
[01:12.729] Many got caught up for just havin' their chain out
[01:15.810] So many rappers couldn't handle showbiz
[01:18.083] While I'm steady rockin', so you know what it is
[01:21.151] So many rappers made this their dream
[01:23.279] Then quickly, most have disappeared from the scene
[01:26.500] Many had major deals, big money and all that
[01:28.934] On 106 & Park, in magazines and all that
[01:31.709] So many had all that, so how did they fall flat?
[01:34.398] That's why my motto has always been to just fall back
[01:37.250] And watch the whole circus go by, I'm that guy
[01:39.759] As soon as I appear on the scene, nigga, it's shy
[01:42.875] So many pranksters with so many gimmicks
[01:44.993] Wonder where they're at now, probably somewhere lookin' timid
[01:47.890] It's all madness, there's too many to count
[01:50.375] Everybody and their mom wanna rap, no doubt
[01:52.959] Many come out with a bang, and their own new slang
[01:55.607] Then end up back in the hood without a goddamn thing
[01:58.422] Some make noise, they hit the top of the charts
[02:00.991] Still, the shit that I kick will be stoppin' they hearts
[02:04.253] So many rappers in search of fame
[02:06.429] And most'll be lucky if we remember their names
