| In my red dice ice cream jeans don’t try me |
| They only compliment the style of this rhymin' dude |
| I’m designing a new way to move weight |
| That don’t involve no coke, just my music |
| After my due date, Dues Paid, Tuesday, crews say Lucky even bumps in they |
| hooptie |
| I’m a new day, y’all some old news |
| Your girls a groupie, didn’t know how to choose |
| Or didn’t have a choice, I use a better voice |
| A better song selection and an antidote to makin' noise |
| I’m into breakin' toys, y’all into fakin' poise |
| Confidence, not convinced, don’t believe your boys |
| Just keep on bookin' tours, perform for empty floors |
| Sell a couple thousand records, press a thousand more |
| Impress a couple hundred fans so you can make 'em yours |
| It’s like the Making Of The Band up in this underworld |
| I’m not complaining, I’m explaining what you shouldn’t do |
| Just because you have ambition doesn’t make it true |
| True indeed, feed of this get inspired |
| Then inquire what you lack, take my spot when I retire |
| Rap, rap |
| Rap your little rapper hearts out |
| Emo to thug hop, ain’t no fast routes |
| Big labels find it hard to make money |
| How you think you 'bout to blow off this underground dummy? |
| Please |
| If you was ready I would sign you |
| Or Rhymesayers might even get behind you |
| Send your CD to Definitive Jux |
| And if they find your shit inventive then consider it luck |
| It’s the 10th year anniversary of my bunch |
| But I’m thinkin' «Damn, my rents due at the end of the month» |
| Who wants to hunt slash haggle adventure, callin' up stores? |
| Bothering the buyers, tryin' to make 'em pick up more |
| Or maybe hit the studio or rig another tour |
| With the average independents, just a couple of more |
| Man, the fans are so finicky with who they adore |
| And your Myspace music ain’t a foot in the door |
| I’m an exceptional professional pessimist |
| Plenty people got bad taste so there’s a chance for your success in this |
| So keep pressin' it |
| Or quit messin' with the over saturation in the scene peep the evidence |
| Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. You’re cool. Fuck you I’m out! |
| How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow? |
| (YO!) |
| I knew it. I’m surrounded by assholes |
| I’m not complaining, I’m explaining what you shouldn’t do |
| Just because you have ambition doesn’t make it true |
| True indeed, feed of this get inspired |
| Then inquire what you lack, take my spot when I retire |
| Rap, rap |
| Rap your little rapper hearts out |
| Emo to thug hop, ain’t no fast routes |
| Big labels find it hard to make money |
