The Industry

03/01/2024 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “The Industry” is my 71st official release and my 106th track published. This is my biggest and most elaborate release so far. It has more features than tracks. This has been a long time in the making. I had some trouble getting the features through my distributor but distrokid came through for me. The beats and major feature production comes from Anno Domini. The entire project was mixed and mastered by Keyano and the cover art is by Gigzlogo from Fiverr.

I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:

This album is called “The Industry” because it features many artists, big and small, from the music industry while also being about “The industry” as in the economy. I did the best I could with the limited resources I have. I would like to thank Anno Domini for this opportunity and for make this a dream come true and Thank you to all the featured artist.

90% of the CO2 in the atmosphere over the last 10 years came from 3 products, gas, oil and coal. This is who I’m referring to when I say “Big Carbon.” I was gonna just say “big oil” but it’s more than just big oil and saying “carbon” is really focusing on the problem.

The album approaches sociological problems and by the middle I bring in my personal perspective. I firmly believe we have a lot of the problems we do because religion which distorts zealots worldveiw. Thinking being gay is wrong, the earth is only 6 thousand years old, or the rapture is gonna happen really affects how people perceive and affect the world, and since we live in a democracy, political and societal outcomes as well. I believe inaccuracy in thinking comes from the distorted worldview of religion, and in America that means chirstianity. This means it’s fundamental to attack followers reality at it’s core because it is the basis in which they project their actions. I just hope Kurupt isn’t a devote christian or he might be upset. 

I do not condone violence peroid, let alone against congress members, although I think they basically deserve it. With that said, I tried showing Mitch McConnell as little respect as possible. You know, I’m human too and between his policies, greed, and lust for power representing an abhorrent party that he has enabled to regress the nation, it’s not hard to hate him, and as an artist I’m just tapping into that very real sentiment. People will cheer when he dies like they will Dick Cheney or how they did Harry Kissenger. The world would be a better place if you off’d yourself Mitch. Not because your death would solve our problems, but because your influence on power needs to end. Honestly, I don’t like Mitt Romney, but I took a different approach and said people should be like him because he’s actually retiring. Listen, I know the replacements might be worse, but they could also be way better. I would be satisfied with a maximum age requirement if we couldn’t get term limits. 

This release was going to be 12 tracks long, not 10. I had the hardest time getting this published. I went through CDbaby and it got rejected. I published it without the KRS-One or Gucci Mane feature track. After much deliberation, I have since went through distrokid to publish the “Heavy Hitters” EP which has the Krs, Gucci, and a snoop dogg feature that was supposed to be on the “Westside Connection” album but got rejected by CDbaby as well.

Lyrics:

America In Decline

Ayo

To all my young brothers that hustle and flip

Get your money be humble

Killer bees everywhere yo we call it the Jungle

Some real nice Cheba

The government control that medical refund

Tattoo on my stomach that's the symbol of death

Yo I'm coming

You only got a little bit of time left

Back out the hood

I be the reclaimer

I punch deceivers in the face and roll on the flame

Hooky player

Survival of your forcedness

The board of education and all of that court shit

I'm from the street first then I went corporate

I'm out in Cali somewhere eating crawfish

I'ma pescatarian my ex-girl whorish

The angel of rap and country like a tourist

Even the terrorists

Know I got the rawness

The whole world ain't nothing but a fake Egypt

With these Devils acting like they tryna lead it (ayo)

I'm bout to leave here on a ship

Niggas turn zombie's they receiving the chip

I'm out here

With my mind on flip

I'm in the zone

Got the garlic in my system

My whole team drop knowledge and wisdom

We drop knowledge and wisdom

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

While you struggle to cop it

And made a deposit

Corporations make record profits

Billionaires are leaving on rockets 

And you are left to pay costs kids

Vampires should suck dick

Seamen has more life than blood

They looking at me like

I know what it was

When they changed the rules

Made America loose

By listening to fools

And never replacing them with new

Blood, new faces

America disgraced with

Wretches that won’t have to face

The destruction that all their laws have made 

From restructuring to give money to the paid

They’ll be dead and gone

But America will fall

Cuz what they did is wrong

And a selfish con

Guess the Process 

Is to stifle all the progress

Feather they’re own nest

And reap all the profits

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

Most of the world living on child support

Instead of talkin’ shit out

They’d rather take it to court

I used to think I was rich man

I realized I’m poor

That’s why I take an opportunity

When it knocks on the door

I drop bombs with psalms

To feed my mind so I’m calm

If you don’t see it or believe it

Let me sound the alarm

And I ain’t running from the problem 

Imma face it head on

I used think I was a man

Now I see I was wrong

It was all designed with a higher power in mind

They got money to start wars

Is feeding the poor a crime?

What if we all fortify?

Stand together unified

We could stop all the lies

I promise they’d be petrified 

America in decline

We can’t afford the disease

A hundred people have to die so that one lives with ease

America in decline

We can’t afford the disease

A hundred people have to die so that one lives with ease

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy 

America in decline

Can’t afford to find

A house, food, education

Or care for your child

It was all by design

By the oligarchy

You can’t make ends meet

Cuz they rigged the economy

Big Carbon

(Kook G Rap Lyrics Unknown)

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

You wanna invest

In income-producing assets

That make you money

That’s steady and passive

You won’t survive long unless you stretch

I still hope for the best but expect regret

I’m talking to the cats that I never met

I wish you peace my friend a bed to rest

Don’t ever let um convince you

Your needs shouldn’t be met

Everything is free

You just need materials and labor

Corporate endorsements

Are when the police protect property

Over the environment

That they pollute silently

So I dissent and live defiantly

While Carbon heating the entirety 

Global criminal conduct is how science sees it

The pollution, kills millions a year

While they lobby and interfere

With policy to limit there’s

While they should really be in jail

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Now they pretend to be spiritual individuals 

Testing us like a physical

Kill us with chemicals 

Confiscate our residuals

Poisonous minerals

Force fed by the cynical

Think they school’um

But disregard the principles

Actin invincible

And aint talk’n mic in the mechanics

But all we need is a miracle

But they don’t like it when we’re lyrical

The devil’s being disguised

But we’re conscious they’re identical

But still got the keys to the solution

Cuz that big carbon pollution 

Got’um contradicting their constitution 

And then COVID cost so much confusion 

Then they blinded up with stimulus checks 

And called it a contribution?

Just be mindful of your investments

Success ain’t meant to be comfortable

Remain restless

And stay attended to your checklist 

Don’t let’um slow you down

Keep use of motion until you’re breathless

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Fuck big carbon, they’re the problem

They bought the news so they control the column

Been licensed, to pollute commons

And stifle innovation, top to bottom

Smeagol

I say see no evil hear no evil

No I can’t compare to people

Take a needle, try a shot 

Heroine, I swear it’s lethal!

You’ll be throwin’ up mean lean

Dozzin’ off wake ‘em up

Hurry up tell ‘em that he owe the boss

And he know the cost mob night holocaust

Mob lights flower tossed

Hard white throw us off

Gucci this dress pants Lenox sweater

Yes France

Just glance, wanna fight!?

Here I am let’s dance!

Do-si-do you lookin’ like a lovely ho

One, two bloody nose dripped down on his bloody clothes

Got what you wanted, I make it stick

Ain’t got to be handicap man make a wish

What you want Laker tick’s? Ski slopes, major trips?

Razor to ya neck disrespect I’ll lay ‘em stiff.

Round table round off sound off damn let the pound off!

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

Like Covid from the lab

Spreading across the map

Killing all your moms and dads

Leavein homeless children sad

Lethal like a chemical spill

Of dioxins that kill

Agent Orange, where’s the source

That left your newly born deformed?

The payment for the rent is tall

While families aren’t at all involved

Take oxycontin when hurt and fall

And end up addicted to Fentynyl

War in the middle-east, Russia and Ukrain

Give us an excuse to sell them weapons and then bang

No healthcare from the burn pits

That cause asthma and the serpent 

Lies bout what the purpose is

How they thank you for your service kid

When you Paywall healthcare Inequality kills 

But corporations are fulfilled for denying the bill 

While they pray in the steeple, 

We put money over people

I bet you heard, protect and serve

But they use their guns instead of words

Safety is a fallacy, with rampant police brutality

They show up at the rally scene

Turn to violence and battery

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

I’ll show you what is lethal

And Infecting the people

Turning them into Smeagol

Like they Anemic and feeble

Like plastics in your blood

Pathogens in puss

Earthquakes, wildfires 

Famine and floods

Bomb First

Three and a half years if they catch you with a gat

All that mean now is that niggas is shootin’ back

War is something I got the taste for 

Out on bail bigger gun than the one I got the case for

Never can tell what I might do I ain’t nothing like you

I put my Dutch out on your night boots

Pull my nuts out on yo wife in the mic booth

Then situate with her at the end of the night too

Those were the happy days these the real years

Niggas is brain dead in shit bags and wheelchairs

For the record I don’t give a fuck who ya team is 

And you don’t want it with me ‘cause I’m an extremist (Ugh)

Get back, take that, this rap, we blast

What’s a rat to a cat, or a bomb to a gat 

An opinion to facts, guessing compared to the math?

This a stick-up, bitch what, give me what you have

Like Pac, we bomb first 

We act, while you ponder

We adapt, you dishonor 

What you have and leave squandered 

I learned to be gangster from congress

Support the enterprise for profit

Lobby money with stock tips  

Like the drug money you pocket

The real terrorists are republicans

The gun-toting Smith-n-west’n grins

That come from killing the innocent

And claiming they deserved the shit

You small time, just tryna to survive

But if you get caught you’ll do more time

For selling drugs than a rapist

Makes sense if it’s a racist

System with most of the cases 

We make criminals of patients 

Yea Marijuana still illegal, although it’s medicine for people 

A textile, a food, with no overdose, but claim that it’s lethal

Are you a broke citizen down on your luck

Well find a way to get your money up cuz we don’t give a fuck

Get back, take that, this rap, we blast

What’s a rat to a cat, or a bomb to a gat 

An opinion to facts, guessing compared to the math?

This a stick-up, bitch what, give me what you have

Like Pac, we bomb first 

We act, while you ponder

We adapt, you dishonor 

What you have and leave squandered 

I learned to be gangster from congress

Support the enterprise for profit

Lobby money with stock tips  

Like the drug money you pocket

Why we try to fake like we don't know our system is wrong?

Its the land of the free? 

It's independently owned

I could try to

hold up, let me break it down in a song

I could try to, hold up

If you smart about your taxes

you might not even pay

And it's legal in your business

You can buy them away

Or you donate it to "Charity”

This is not advice

And we just talking

This is therapy

More and more

I feeling like we living in a parody

Only say I worry we ain't aware of the

Effect that we gone have

And Imma say this with sincerity

Every generation getting harder even barely

And even when I think of having kids it start scare me

Get back, take that, this rap, we blast

What’s a rat to a cat, or a bomb to a gat 

An opinion to facts, guessing compared to the math?

This a stick-up, bitch what, give me what you have

Like Pac, we bomb first 

We act, while you ponder

We adapt, you dishonor 

What you have and leave squandered 

I learned to be gangster from congress

Support the enterprise for profit

Lobby money with stock tips  

Like the drug money you pocket

Capitalism

Get the elderly out of Congress

How much have the fucks

Already cost us?

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

They enacted their vision

But it corrupted the mission

And Boomers left a society of despotism

You know I mean?

Can you feel me?    

Let me rip a minute 

On these insipid decisions

And intended intention

Of the economic agenda

Trickle down economics

You gotta be fucking kidding me

Kill yourself

If you think it’s answer economically

Capitalists make money off disasters

They got the shock doctrine mastered

And make global warming happen

They’ll buy with no logos

Sell it with girls that are Gogo

Say the love is all Eros 

And it’s meant for the pharoes

Cuz it makes fat cash destroying things

Just look at Oprah and Hawaii

Just set up a charity to funnel your money

And get it back in taxes, singing and humming

How it’s so terrible, my property value rose

From a disaster that left the island tattered

Disaster capitalism is on the rise

And makes society more stratified

Your misfortune is by design

Because they like you desptotic when they buy

Global warming is old, all they are is frontin

They make new ways take and plunder

We knew about carbon pollution in the late 1800 hundreds 

And big oil is still trying to convince us it’s nothing

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

You know I’m saying?

These fucks man

So glad Mitch McConnell died

Cuz he’s an awful senator

You know they could retire

But they cling to power

That’s why we hate him

It’s selfish and pervasive

In the Senate chambers

To stay and embrace it

Look, You’re not gracious

For bogarting a replacement

That’s more tenacious 

And doesn’t wanna enslave us

It’s not advantageous

To have geriatrics takes and

Are also patients

It affects whole nation

Won’t let you fly an airline past sixty-five

But if you wanna run a country

You can do it till you die

We got all these politicians holden on to power

When they should be Mitt, take a hint, and retire

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

You make me do this

Rich G

You know that right?   

Try and change the system from within and it changes you

So I'm stacking change what else you expect Rich to do

Corporate lobbying has the ear plus pockets of politicians

Follow the money to make sense of their decisions

Corrupt officials ain't just a third world issue

Defense contractors enriched each time we shoot a missile

Consumer society created planned obsolescence

Pushing insecurities through ads on adolescents 

Valentines days invented by hallmark cupids a profiteer

This a letter in a card to say its fucked up dear

I'm sincere we need an overhaul of the government 

Conglomerates have it their way and we loving it

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

Capitalism works

That’s why millennials are poor

Gen Z is even worse

And both parties want the war 

Thanks for the carbon

You left for your children

You literally got them coal

And robbed them of a pension

Get the elderly out of congress

There should be term limits 

If we want progress

Listen, if if you can be too young to run the country, 

you can be too old

And that’s all

A Lesson

This is just a fair warning

I love to get horny

And give a fuck, what your story

Not yet, you’re not sorry

Ever since the inner circle I’ve stepped in

I’ve been sharpening lyrical weapon

To slit your throat, make um joke

About how you been flex’n

Haven’t done a mixtape in years, ya know

My music’s all original

Put in work, and ya I’m finna blow

And get paid off the residual

I would love some MCEE

To have a problem with me

Say my name, and make it sting

While make’n a scene

I ain’t scared of you

I’m flattered dude

I ain’t gonna battle you

I’ll serve you in a dark padded booth

So don’t bring me negativity

Unless you want some energy

That aggressive and offensively

Exposes what you pretend to be

No one owns my mechanical

No one takes my publishing

I say what I want 

And make money from stunt’n see

I’m a grown adult with a baby face

You ain’t gonna take my place

You ain’t got the mental state

To keep up with my pace

I’m a vetran, could wreck them

But rather make’um my brethren

Give an ultimatum to uphold

As I expose the deception

Fuck what you think

You ain’t convincing me

Unless you have overwhelming evidence

This is how it’s gonna be

Bitch shut the fuck up, why you talkin that shit

You sound like a child, that’s throwing a fit

You never grew up, but blew up big

They’re what you consume cuz you still a kid

You get what you give 

And they ain’t into shit rap

This ain’t a diss track

It’s a lesson for your bitch ass

I could make amends

Yeah, I’m down to make friend

But that’s not the intent 

Of motivation you intend 

You didn’t jock me when I’zz underground

Said you were down with the sound

Now you wanna come around 

Like you was alway down 

Gi’me an excuse

To write about the truth

Rap it in the booth

And make this happen to you

I ain’t never had a rap beef

Don’t want one, but I’d happily

Show you that I have teeth

And run it like an Athlete

I’m sure its not your too big to respond

It’s the contract your on

It doesn’t allow freedom at all

To defend your own honor

What’s more important is the dollar

Its not from your squalor

And the rights that you squandered

Who wants your Dumbass comments anyways

We were happy that you went away

They want to run, be free today

From you and your stupid ways

You feel no shame

From the problems you create

But if you want to inundate

I figured you could get a taste

Fuck what you think

You ain’t convincing me

Unless you have overwhelming evidence

This is how it’s gonna be

Bitch shut the fuck up, why you talkin that shit

You sound like a child, that’s throwing a fit

You never grew up, but blew up big

They’re what you consume cuz you still a kid

You get what you give 

And they ain’t into your shit rap

This ain’t a diss track

It’s a lesson for your bitch ass

______________________________-

Honey

I want this shit banging in my headphones, you understand me

Let me hear that beat

You dig

I'ma address some shit

Let y'all niggas know the real

I've been dormant for too long

Hibernating

Everybody want it, but do you wanna get it

I'm sick of all these niggas bullshitting

I'm sick of all these bitches

I'm sick of how these bitch niggas tripping

And how y'all get these passes to these snitches

Neighborhood crippling

Dog pound gangsters in the building

I'ma treat these niggas like bitches

Show em to the wolves and the vultures

The hyenas and my siblings

So they can experience what they say they really living

Man, let me show you how deep it really gets

And then I'ma show you the power of membership

One on the hip, illegal extended clip

I'ma show you niggas the power of membership

The viking and the villain

Riddling, couldn't stop this adrenaline

Mind bending forensic technical chemist

One for the bro, walk up and explode

I'ma show you niggas the power of membership

Nigga, we everywhere

I’m everywhere rocking that cosmic debacle

108 the prophet, understand ergonomics

Of electric ultrasonic magnetic harmonic

Conscious balls of telepathic diagnostics (stupid)

That’s what my artistry’s about

While you run your mouth for clout 

Or tryna turn Um out

I like them questioning “how?”

I hope they listen to learn astronomy, sociology and doubt

How Jesus could be god and not just arrogantly pronounced

As the truth, when the use of religion is a arroused

By consolidating power and giving it to the house

Because it doesn’t make sense

You know space is immense

And it was all meant for us

Is what Jesus presents

The Bible is a fairly tale

Contradicts itself everywhere

It takes an ass like dairy air

To think it’s really fairly clear

I’m sorry, I should stop, but nothing is

And the subject of the song is dumb ass shit

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

But it really doesn’t matter cuz

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves

But really doesn’t exist

I don’t do it to be mean, even shine or make you cry

It’s really a function of the perspective I entice

To say thinking and intelligence is nice and is desired

Is like saying dick and pussy is best when combined

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

But it really doesn’t matter cuz

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves

But really doesn’t exist

But to put it susincly Which is good to provide

Your like a bug attracted to light

Cuz Bees don’t spend their time Explaining to flys 

Why honey is better than shit to survive

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

Jesus hates you

But it really doesn’t matter cuz

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves

But really doesn’t exist

The Cold

This me and Asia, they say I’m gifted

I like misdirection and to put it simplest

I don’t think for myself, so yes I’m Christian (often)

I run it like the church, inquisition

Whether winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

And we don’t play that gangsta shit

All my moves I make legitimate

In broad daylight I have the sense

Everything you have figured, isn’t

I suggest if you don’t wanna catch a case

Show some discretion, respect, and grace

I ain’t hard, but I ain’t a bitch either

You may try the takeover and then find that I’m the ether

Is the atmosphere to ethereal like gravity

Or since it’s clear do we not see it mattering?

I wouldn’t bring me back unless your eager

To figure out why they fear the karma I teach her

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

I Molotov mics in the night

With the energy to cause a street fight

Knuckle up baby, buckle up

It's dangerous on the ave

They flaming guns 

Slanging crumbs 

Hennessey and Jamison

The eyes of the jungle Blood shot

The disgruntled smirk of a crook

Posing for the pic, in his first mug shot

My seven and a half is working oh that's for certain

We in the lab cooking and jookin'

Until its closed curtains

I'm busting shots at the serpent for a purpose

The seven stars represent the seven churches

Watch what you worship

Don't miss the revelations

You'll be caught up like the listeners

Still caught up on my first shit

Assassin with the blade catch a niggas fade

It's a rapture on the stage when you capture these grenades

You'll be a fossil once

Once they really understand the gospel

El Chapo with chopped cheese and a taco

This me and Asia, they say I’m gifted

I like misdirection and to put it simplest

I don’t think for myself, so yes I’m Christian (often)

I run it like the church, inquisition

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

I suggest if you don’t wanna catch a case

Show some digression, respect, and grace

I ain’t hard, but I ain’t a bitch either

You may try the takeover and then find I’m the ether

What’s a mind to a god

Time to a thought

Price to some art

Or lies if you're smart?

What’s a mind to a god

Time to a thought

Price to some art

Or lies if you're smart?

Sooner or later I’m gonna figure you out

And all I’ve really found, is how cowards get down

How they bring um out bring um out bring um out bring um out

It’s hard to tell that you aren’t really a clown

I’m not tryna develop what you sell

I’m hear just to tell

You, you need to get help

I’m not tryna develop what you sell

I’m hear just to tell

You, you need to get help

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

Weather winter or fall I love the cold

It reminds me of my blood and it’s oxygen threshold

When the light from your eyes goes dull and closed

Is when I’ll stop coming after your throat

I do it for the love

Cuz it Damn sure ain’t the money

But give me some funding

And a beat that funky

And I’m Gonna pop off, 

Guaranteed if you market me

You know what’s the difference between me and those puppets

About a hundred and fifty thousand dollar marketing budget

Having an audience is currency

That I don’t have currently

But I’ve invested in a catalog

And marketing um urgently

Need money to grow

And give um what they wanted

Need money for marketing

Just like any product

But I’m free, my own boss

Though I can barely pay the costs

I do what I want, I say what I please

They ain’t got no strings on me

I do what I want, I say what I please

They ain’t got no strings on me

Always committed, every day I was wit it

Well recognized for the ways that I did it

Indepent player that’s how you get it 

The people know whats happenin but they ain't gonna admit it 

Always committed, every day I was wit it

Well recognized for the ways that I did it

Indepent player that’s how you get it 

The people know whats happenin but they ain't gonna admit it 

I didn’t have a mentor

I started on my own

Everything I’ve done

I’ve had to do alone

300 dollars a month

Is my total budget

By the time it’s right

To promote there’s nothing

What a great community America has

Put in work every day but never paid for that

Which you made to get the bag

Americas so great that it’s people can’t

Afford necessities cuz they don’t get paid a living wage

How is the national debt doing today

All the money went to corporate pay

While you can’t afford a place to stay

Having money for food

It must be nice

Having money for goods

It must be nice

America The great

Where the people get raped

Of their financial stake

of what the community creates

Always committed, every day I was wit it

Well recognized for the ways that I did it

Indepent player that’s how you get it 

The people know whats happenin but they ain't gonna admit it 

Always committed, every day I was wit it

Well recognized for the ways that I did it

Indepent player that’s how you get it 

The people know whats happenin but they ain't gonna admit it

Lace’em up

Let me rock it for a minute

I’m not a gimmick, yo I live it

Positive and different 

Like an ace word to tennis

They on the lean sippin

I live the dream envision

Thinking as they listen

From start to finish

If you want me on stage with

Raps for your entertainment

I need that bag, and the payment

From fans demanding my graces

Until then it’s about branding and landing these placements

Finding some way to get paid and get

The love so it make me continue with it

Not wanna quit, and give’um this gift

I do it for the love, the fun and the win 

Dabbin up a friend, bought what happened, what it is

This that classic flow with lyricism

Don’t kow tow, just listen

I’m here to help the mission

Unlock your inner vision

May not always agree

But I’m always for peace

Capeesh, I need you

To Keep it real with free speech

Lace’em up, lace’em up, lace em up, lace em

I’m just a man try’na create and make it

Be humble, burst your bubble while still being gracious

The music speaks for itself and felt as a statement

Lace’em up, lace’em up, lace em up, lace em

I’m just a man try’na create and make it

Be humble, burst your bubble while still being gracious

The music speaks for itself and felt as a statement

I’m that ill type, I kill mics

They’re all like, that was real right

It makes me feel like

A shooting star in the night

Glittering and glistening

On a path that righteous

Spread my name across the sky

Catch your eye, decide this

Music is a symphony

And it gets to me, and I write this

Hoping it goes gold

Like a touch from Midas

Don’t have to decipher

When I pop up in the Cypher

I’m a fighter that stifles

Don’t wanna make me your rival

Cuz I got stamina, and a brand that run

Edutainment for the audience

Since started up, I got the love

Harbored luck, and toughened up

It’s a cold, cold world even when it’s sunny

It’s about what you sold and only if it makes money

Most can’t make ends meet or afford to fill up their tummy 

The rich claim it’s hard work when they really got lucky

I bubble up and double up

On the trouble, I’ll sum it up

If you want it, I can get it done

Til you get enough, and feel the love

Lace’em up, lace’em up, lace em up, lace em

I’m just a man try’na create and make it

Be humble, burst your bubble while still being gracious

The music speaks for itself and felt as a statement

Lace’em up, lace’em up, lace em up, lace em

I’m just a man try’na create and make it

Be humble, burst your bubble while still being gracious

The music speaks for itself and felt as a statement

I bought these beats

For my artistry 

On standard lease

From Anno Domini

So If you like this rap, think it's dope like morphine

Buy the track, to show you support me

I bought these beats
