A Message

All y’all people talkin’ about Them platinum plaques, thinkin’ they all that Talkin’ about drugs, pretendin’ they thugs You can’t avoid the damage it’s causin’, you know This is a message you need to listen to I ain’t dumbin’ it down, it goes direct to you fools So listen up Yo, I got something to say To everybody cause this shit has gone crazy I’m disappointed by this None of what y’all doin’ is even legit I see you addicted to the fame and clout Y’all don’t even care if I call y’all sellouts You don’t give back anythin’ to your community You’re foolin’ everybody, you ain’t foolin’ me You could put money in the pockets of the poor But instead you pocketin’ money from them wars Justice system don’t care, they’ll just lock you up Politicians corrupt, they don’t give a f*ck And the major labels, they’ll take your money in an instant They put your records in Target but you still ain’t winnin’ You just a fad to them, they drop you when you don’t sell If everybody was aware, the world wouldn’t be hell And that’s a fact I keep tellin’ ya, what I’m sayin’ is real It’s happenin’ outside yo window as we speak Many songs I listen to sound the same Ain’t about fame, ain’t about the cash If y’all connect with the culture, we could do this Improve our way of life so that there is no cycle We made our world a livin’ hell But you can change the fate so don’t hesitate
