Wake Up Da Industry

They say you got fake until you make it, well I guess that I never will I might as well not spit it to you cause I can't give it to you unless it's real This ain't none of my imagination, nah nigga this ain't no exaggeration I really grew up in the streets hearin' rest in peace more than Congratulations Seen niggas go to jail more than I seen niggas go to graduation Seen niggas with a bankroll who ain't never filled out an application Really just a bunch of lost souls on a dark road with no navigation Family and treat em good, so they in the hood tryna find validation Everybody wanna shine but it's like nobody wanna do the work for it They'll rather ride waves nigga I ain't never gettin' on no surfboard I'd rather gain fans than who I am, I feel like it's worth more If that never happened then I guess this rappin' isn't what I'm on this earth for Either way, I'ma still do it cause the microphone, yeah I through it Everything I ever dreamed, everything I seen, I could get your ears to it Could probably get it to your eyes clearer with the way I'm flowin' like a high river Tryna figure out what's really closer than what it appear to be out my side mirror Skeptical about a lot of shit, is the news fake or the politics Nothin' really authentic, they give us the image after photoshoppin' it They tryna keep us in the dark but I'm bout to bring you niggas to the light Gotta pay attention, motherfuck the price, it ain't that expensive for some good advice Y'all niggas really givin' me energy, matter of fact y'all niggas inventin' me Cause I wouldn't even be who I'm finna be if I didn't have so many enemies I'm bout to wake up the industry, cause most of these labels don went to sleep I swear this new music is torture, y'all don't let this shit ruin the culture Cause nobody speakin' this knowledge, all they been speakin' is violence They brainwashed where they game, taught our own people to keep us in silence We the ones who control the youth, so why you stuntin' when you go in the booth Talkin' bout drugs, you ain't never moved, talkin' bout guns, you ain't never used That's what they want us to do, so I'ma show em that I'm better Even though I'm from the ghetto, I ain't promotin' that life, I'm throwin' advice I want us to come up together, but nobody listenin I feel like nobody gets it, cause we got the power to change the world But we just keep relivin' history, I feel like they only show us what they want us to see Yeah, that's so they can keep controllin' who they want us to be Man, I feel like a lot of these rappers is characters created by people tryin' to embarrass us That's why they pushin' to mess up the image, with all of these niggas who dressin' like women It's so many gimmicks they want us to mimic, and y'all just keep fallin' for these epidemics We losin' more and more every minute, look at the scoreboard, we ain't winnin They got a game plan, got us killin' our brothers for name brands The power ain't never gon' change hands till we treat each other like the same man Listen dawg, I'm just tryin' to tell you that we still slaves in the modern day They figured out how to keep chains on us after lettin' us think that we got away They figured out how they could market us, turn it back around and target us They figured if we could get one of these niggas to follow it, we could get all of them
