Let me tell you a little story the slave master Use a whip on your ass so you faster You got on your neck and the man's respect You'll work all damn day but you never see a check in the field
Cotton you yield, your skin peels off back the crack of the whip, it won't heal Ya wish, you had a shield 'cause he wields 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 mothafuckaz got the 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, some of us was Some tried to get the best they could And nobody use the phrase, it's all good, would you?
got you living like a shrew They you pig lips and chicken gizzards then you make a stew give us a white Jesus to appease us We talk among and hope nobody sees us
They had our beating us, called us creations Plus monkeys, just junkies mistreating us The master said, "If you don't '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 mother stick her face in the mud They were ruthless! If you to front, you'd be toothless Some tried to run though it seemed useless
was torn, soon babies was born That was half white and now his skin is of light You think you're special, because let you oversee the carnage? But I bet you will get hung, even if you stick out your 'Cause they pull out the and stick it right through your lung
Now it's 96 and white say, forget it, it's all in the past And some regret it 'cause they think we'll set it Now my missions to get So I can a black family with a true devil And you know how goes
The slave master watching you Always to tell you what the fuck to do The slave master over you But nothing gonna stop me and my crew
The slave master watching you Always trying to you what the fuck to do The slave master watching you But ain't nothing stop me and my crew
This is for you trying to get signed Just a little something you should keep in The labels are masters, artists are slaves Don't get too raunchy, want you to behave
You get signed, you're thinking this is But you never knew what was at stake Creative they withhold, you sell 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 shit out and got it floatin' You think your shit is potent but ain't buying it If they ain't heard of it, ain't nobody trying it If ain't never heard of it, your record' they murder it You can but they are not concerned a bit
'Cause when signed you, they thought you'd make a hit 'Cause of who you were with and all that bullshit Frustrations, all rules and regulations Just so you can have shit heard by the nation and be patient
'Cause by the time they find a lead release, shit is ancient You think they're working your You're mistaken And if you flop, you get dropped, you ain't the star You didn't go pop, just straight up hip hop, to get a mop 'Cause without no promotion, of course sales
Peep the break if tapes cost ten probably only get to see a dollar in the end That you cannot spend your budget gets recouped So you get cash unless your record is shoop
You better hope you get shows, will not happen If you don't have a record that's the main Even if you a million, you'll get burned 'Cause keep half your cash just in case 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 another buck They don't give a fuck and if your shit blow up, tough
But the star gets both and devotion From the whole staff, at you, they laugh The star probably don't know that he the house Thinking he bigger 'cause he's the, of the litter
These labels backwards push the acts that need it the least So can get all the money 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 give props to niggaz who is they make they own money, plus decide how to spend it Splendid and end it and don't get offended

The master watching over you Always to tell you what the fuck to do The master watching over you But ain't gonna stop me and my crew
