Let me tell you a little story the slave master Use a whip on ass so you behave faster You got chains on your and the man's respect You'll all damn day but you will never see a check in the field
Cotton you yield, skin peels off your back From the crack of the whip, it won't Ya wish, you had a shield 'cause he iron So when you act up, he ya and keeps firing and it's tiring
Forget about One wrong move and it's death facing mothafuckaz 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 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 lips and gizzards then you make a stew They us a white Jesus to appease us We talk among ourselves and hope sees us
They had our brothers beating us, called us monkeys, they just junkies mistreating us The master said, "If you don't whip 'em, dead" It was with his head but he beat us instead and we bled
Red blood flowing like a he'd rape your mother stick her face in the mud They were ruthless! If you to front, you'd be toothless tried to run even though it seemed useless
Virginity was torn, soon was born was half white and now his skin is kind of light You think special, because they let you oversee the carnage? But I bet you get hung, even if you stick out your tongue 'Cause they pull out the and stick it right through your lung
Now it's 96 and white people say, forget it, all in the past And some even it 'cause they think we'll set it Now my missions to get So I can raise a black family with a devil And you know how that
The slave master over you Always to tell you what the fuck to do The slave master over you But ain't nothing stop me and my crew
The slave watching over you Always trying to tell you the fuck to do The slave master watching you But nothing 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 masters, artists are slaves get too raunchy, they want you to behave
You get signed, you're thinking is great But you never knew what was at stake control they withhold, you sell your soul When you on the dotted line hoping to go gold
But you'll see that, not without promotion The label'll just your shit out and got it floatin' You think shit is potent but ain't nobody buying it If ain't never heard of it, ain't nobody trying it If they ain't never heard of it, your record' murder it You can complain but are not concerned a bit
'Cause when they you, they thought you'd make a hit of who you were affiliated with and all that bullshit Frustrations, all rules and regulations Just so you can have your shit by the nation and be patient
'Cause by the time they find a lead release, your shit is You think they're working your You're mistaken And if you flop, you get dropped, 'cause you the star You didn't go pop, just straight up hip hop, to get a mop 'Cause without no promotion, of sales drop
Peep the break if tapes cost ten You'll only get to see a dollar in the end That you cannot spend 'cause budget gets recouped So you never get cash unless your is shoop
You better hope you get shows, which not happen If you don't a record that's the main attraction Even if you sell a million, you'll get 'Cause they keep your cash just in case of returns
For a while, you why rappers don't smile 'Cause to them, you're not an artist, just another file Another nigger to make another buck They don't give a fuck and if your shit blow up, tough
But the star gets promotion and devotion From the whole fucking staff, at you, they 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 they can when it's released They take you to a restaurant for a And expect you to pick up the check?
That's why I props to niggaz who is independent 'Cause they make own money, plus decide how to spend it Splendid and lets end it and get offended
The slave master over you Always trying to you what the fuck to do The slave watching over you But ain't nothing gonna stop me and my
