(Verse 1) |
|
Hey yo it's funny nowadays how these fools see rap |
|
As a Road to the Riches like Kool G Rap |
|
And most people see me and think "Damn, not again |
|
They signed another guy who's a friend of Eminem" |
|
But you put me in a booth to the crowds disbelief |
|
That if I spit the illest I'm keeping all my teeth |
|
Then bite your style and feed you the feces |
|
You've been shoving down the throats of these folks with CD's |
|
And believe that I can be dropped just like that |
|
And be right back working a job I might slack at |
|
I can't do it fuck it |
|
I'd rather show you that I love it with a bullshit budget |
|
These cats walk around iced out with gunclaps |
|
And no cash in a corner of fools with dunce caps |
|
And dumb rap on how you're a star whatever yo |
|
You ain't shit without approval from Thom Panunzio |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Renting all your fancy clothes |
|
That ain't your car in the videos |
|
Trying to be gangsta |
|
You ain't no superstar... |
|
Your jewelry ain't fooling me |
|
Don't give a fuck about V.I.P |
|
Trying to be gangsta |
|
You ain't no superstar... |
|
(Verse 2) |
|
See I blew my advance on a truck and Desert Eagle |
|
Cause image isn't nothing it doesn't measure ego |
|
Plus wherever we go we might get into trouble |
|
I haven't made enough to afford a body double |
|
Cats get some duckets and worry about wheels |
|
Instead of saying something with meaning that really feels |
|
Love all the glamour to me it's all glitz |
|
But the music that they make in the back is all shit |
|
For me don't roll out the red carpet |
|
I wouldn't even know how to act in that department |
|
This game is fucked for sure and by far |
|
Topics for the songs are made up by A & R's |
|
(whew! That's banging!...Thanks man...We should get J. Lo on the remix!) |
|
If my album doesn't sell good for Jimmy Iovine |
|
I'll be inside a bank screaming give me all the green |
|
(Chorus) |
|
(Verse 3) |
|
These rappers pose like models in every head shot |
|
But they've blown every chance like the Boston Red Sox |
|
Get a deal throw it away in 1 instance |
|
I got my shit together forever keep your distance |
|
I'd rather have a will in the bank and be respected |
|
You think I need to spend me a mil to be accepted |
|
Forget where you're from and you can't go back |
|
Can't show you still got it like an old throwback |
|
At a bar chicks think you're slick with quick winks |
|
In return they reply to you back and give blinks |
|
Til you walk up on my crew with mixed drinks |
|
(Have you listened to my album?) yeah your shit stinks |
|
No subjects no skills and no spirit |
|
Mink coats iced out chains and no lyrics |
|
Acting in this business like y'all pitched in |
|
And not a modern day baller like Paul Fishkin |
|
(Chorus) |
