Rap Game's Hijacked - Ice T[00:00:00]
Too many hardcore muthaf**kas out here in this business[00:00:05]
Ain't gettin their proper loot[00:00:08]
You know what I'm sayin [00:00:09]
(Right)[00:00:10]
Check the technique[00:00:11]
(Aha)[00:00:13]
Everybody talkin 'bout the way hip-hop ain't the same[00:00:14]
Suckers kidnapped the game[00:00:17]
I know the biggest in the business and no joke[00:00:18]
Half of em broke - and none of em smoke[00:00:21]
(Bust the facts loc)[00:00:23]
I got into this hip-hop game[00:00:24]
Just to try to get a girl and get some light-weight fame[00:00:26]
There'd never been no cash made in it[00:00:29]
So who thought you could get paid with it [00:00:31]
Just crash the club with my crew and then I'm outta there[00:00:33]
Hit some skins act bugged that was a rap career[00:00:36]
Then Run-D M C jumped the f**k off[00:00:39]
Got mad paid word kicked the bucks off[00:00:41]
There wasn't many rappers out there rockin the streets[00:00:44]
When hip-hop was just cuts and beats[00:00:46]
I seen _Wildstyle_ dug the scene[00:00:48]
I wanna be an MC rock rock on - know what I mean [00:00:50]
I started crashin rap contests[00:00:54]
Shootin hardcore rhymes through wack MC's chests[00:00:55]
I signed on the lines of a wack contract[00:00:58]
Didn't even read it f**k that[00:01:01]
They gonna put my record out[00:01:04]
I'm gonna be large know what I'm talkin about [00:01:06]
In the first 2 years I made about 300 bucks[00:01:08]
Yo this business sucks[00:01:11]
But I got another chance and I came correct[00:01:13]
Got a lawyer and accountant now my shit's legit[00:01:15]
But many won't get no second chance[00:01:19]
And get f**ked in this biz without a kiss or a dance[00:01:20]
The game is to exploit young ghetto kids[00:01:23]
A straight pimp game and there ain't no shame[00:01:25]
And the shit's gone too far[00:01:28]
100 hip-hop labels with all white A&R's[00:01:30]
The game's hijacked[00:01:32]
The rap game's hijacked[00:01:37]
Let me tell you how it happened[00:01:39]
Now while every MC in the game[00:01:42]
Was worryin about a white boy gettin the fame[00:01:45]
They dug out the foundation[00:01:48]
Now let me give a demonstration[00:01:50]
Say you got a dope group from the hood[00:01:52]
Talkin mad shit like they're up to no good[00:01:55]
You take em to a label[00:01:58]
Now who sits behind the table [00:02:00]
Some jewish muthaf**ka that don't know shit[00:02:02]
Tryin to tell y'all what's a f**kin street hit[00:02:05]
The shit's way off course[00:02:08]
It's like me tellin Johnny Cash how to sing about his horse[00:02:09]
You go on tour the white agency says you're wild[00:02:12]
Tone down your style[00:02:15]
The radio jocks are all pop[00:02:18]
So how the f**k this nigga know what shit to rock [00:02:19]
The shit that make your face turn green[00:02:23]
Is when you get dissed by a kidnap magazine[00:02:24]
I give a f**k about these muthaf**kas[00:02:28]
I'm doin this jam to save my hip-hop brothers[00:02:29]
Get your paperwork straight kid[00:02:32]
Get a lawyer and accountant just like I did[00:02:34]
Don't blow your dough cause you will see g's[00:02:37]
But this game has no guarantees[00:02:39]
Learn about publishing points so you won't be blind[00:02:42]
Learn to read everything you sign[00:02:45]
Then you might have a chance[00:02:47]
If not bend over pull down your pants[00:02:49]
The game's hijacked[00:02:51]
(Yeah[00:02:53]
I don't they hear you brother)[00:02:54]
Yo the rap game's hijacked[00:02:56]
(Word)[00:03:00]
I'm talkin 'bout a hijack[00:03:01]
(Say it one more time baby)[00:03:04]
The rap game's hijacked[00:03:06]
Check it[00:03:08]
(Break it down for these niggas)[00:03:09]
You can go gold and still owe the record label cash[00:03:11]
Yo kid check the math[00:03:14]
Learn about the word 'recoup' troop[00:03:16]
And stop walkin round all hyped and souped[00:03:18]
You ain't nothin but somethin to be used and worked[00:03:21]
You ain't nothin but a sucker to be duped and jerked[00:03:23]
Cause the f**kin record label don't love ya pal[00:03:26]
They didn't love ya on the street and don't love ya now[00:03:28]
They're out to make an end friend[00:03:32]
Cause every dollar you make they damn near make 10[00:03:33]
They'll take you for everything you got[00:03:36]
Or else they'll sign you and they put on the shelf to rot[00:03:38]
I'm tryin to tell you what's up[00:03:41]
You best to listen to this record[00:03:43]
Even if you hate my f**king guts[00:03:44]
Cause I just can't stand around and watch rap get done[00:03:46]
And my brothers ain't gettin none[00:03:49]
A nigga like me has gotta spit game[00:03:51]
Nigga get that cash flow f**k that muthaf**kin fame[00:03:53]
Cause the white man's rippin us off once again[00:03:56]
