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