Let me tell you a little story about the master Use a whip on your ass so you behave You got on your neck and the man's respect You'll work all damn day but you will never see a check in the
Cotton you yield, your peels off your back From the crack of the whip, it heal Ya wish, you had a shield he wields iron So when you act up, he smokes ya and firing and it's tiring
Forget about One move and it's death you're facing White got the ball and chain On leg and in the form of religion on your brain
They say, you the devil, you say, who the Some of us was house niggers, of us was rebels Some to get along the best they could And nobody use the phrase, it's all good, would you?
They got you living a shrew They throw you pig lips and chicken gizzards you make a stew They give us a white Jesus to us We talk among ourselves and hope sees us
They had our brothers beating us, us creations monkeys, they just junkies mistreating us The said, "If you don't whip 'em, you're dead" It was fucking with his head but he beat us and we bled
Red blood like a flood he'd rape your mother stick her face in the mud They ruthless! If you tried to front, you'd be toothless Some to run even though it seemed useless
Virginity was torn, babies was born That was half white and now his skin is kind of You you're special, because they let you oversee the carnage? But I bet you will get hung, even if you out your tongue 'Cause they out the shank and stick it right through your lung
Now it's 96 and white people say, forget it, all in the past And some even regret it they think we'll set it Now my to get federal So I can raise a black family with a devil And you how that goes
The slave master over you Always trying to tell you what the to do The slave master over you But ain't nothing gonna stop me and my
The slave master watching you trying to tell you what the fuck to do The slave watching over you But ain't gonna stop me and my crew
This is for you trying to get signed Just a little something you keep in mind The labels are slave masters, are slaves Don't get too raunchy, they you to behave
You get signed, you're this is great But wait you never what was at stake Creative control they withhold, you your soul When you sign on the dotted line to go gold
But you'll see that, not without promotion The label'll just throw your shit out and got it You think your shit is but ain't nobody buying it If they ain't never heard of it, ain't nobody it If they ain't never heard of it, record' they murder it You can complain but they are not a bit
'Cause when they signed you, thought you'd make a hit 'Cause of who you were affiliated with and all bullshit Frustrations, all these rules and so you can have your shit heard by the nation and be patient
'Cause by the time they find a release, your shit is ancient You think they're working your album? You're And if you flop, you get dropped, you ain't the star You go pop, just straight up hip hop, time to get a mop 'Cause no promotion, of course sales drop
Peep the down if tapes cost ten You'll only get to see a dollar in the end That you cannot spend 'cause your gets recouped So you never get cash unless your is shoop
You better you get shows, which will not happen If you have a record that's the main attraction Even if you a million, you'll get burned 'Cause they keep half your cash just in case of
For a while, you wonder why don't smile 'Cause to them, you're not an artist, you're just file Another nigger used to make another They don't give a fuck and if shit don't blow up, tough
But the star gets both and devotion From the whole fucking staff, at you, laugh The star probably don't know that he the nigger Thinking he bigger he's the, pick of the litter
labels think backwards They push the acts that need it the So they can get all the money they can when it's They take you to a restaurant for a And then expect you to up the check?
That's why I give props to who is independent 'Cause make they own money, plus decide how to spend it Splendid and lets end it and get offended
The slave master watching you Always trying to tell you the fuck to do The slave master watching you But nothing gonna stop me and my crew
The master watching over you trying to tell you what the fuck to do The slave watching over you But ain't nothing gonna me and my crew
