Industry (explicit) - Cormega[00:00:00]
Listen to me good[00:00:00]
The artist is the most important person[00:00:10]
You are the feature[00:00:17]
People listen to you they don't listen to their preachers[00:00:23]
Exaggerated tales of hustin' we quick to pass[00:00:27]
Judgment and fail our brothers[00:00:29]
Instead of talkin' bout Lauren[00:00:31]
Hill talk about Lauren skill [00:00:32]
Truth be told there may never be a girl as ill[00:00:34]
Don't gossip bout Dame Dash [00:00:37]
Give props to Dame hand[00:00:38]
For the rise of Jay and for signing Kanye man[00:00:39]
Niggas is crazy that's why we ain't got shit[00:00:42]
Rappers hate each other not the labels that got rich[00:00:44]
Don't care about culture they only want profit[00:00:46]
If your album sells slow bet you get dropped quick[00:00:50]
Q-Tip warned us the industries toxic[00:00:52]
For reference check out B D P - "Sex and Violence"[00:00:55]
When Styles made "I Get High" it was playin' all day[00:00:57]
When Styles made "I'm Black" it didn't get enough play[00:01:00]
I guess they got a problem with anything positive[00:01:02]
Doesn't make sense if it doesn't bring dollars in[00:01:05]
Those that managed us[00:01:11]
Those that were our agents[00:01:13]
Those that were our accountants[00:01:15]
Those that were the records executives[00:01:17]
Those that were the owners of the record label[00:01:20]
You never got true accounting for nothing that you did[00:01:24]
What's the difference between a label and pimpin'[00:01:29]
You sell yourself they tell you how to spend it[00:01:32]
Ho ass niggas slow down listen[00:01:35]
Just prey your minds with no ambition[00:01:37]
They keep you fly — images promotion[00:01:39]
They keep you high so a nigga isnt' focused[00:01:42]
You livin' in a moment feeling yourself[00:01:45]
They livin' in plus homes what's really success [00:01:47]
And what's swag [00:01:49]
I don't care how you dress or what you drive[00:01:51]
I want rhymes that really impress[00:01:53]
You say it's all about money do you even invest [00:01:54]
Any time in your rhymes let me guess[00:01:57]
You're so nice you don't write it just comes to you[00:02:00]
'Cause you the shit — nah you just dodo[00:02:03]
I lyrically abuse any rapper who choose to step to me[00:02:05]
I will bring it right to you [00:02:09]
Who do you think you are [00:02:14]
To them you are nothing but a piece of meat[00:02:16]
And you are only as valuable as your last hit song[00:02:20]
And when you make no more hit songs[00:02:25]
Nobody cares for you no more[00:02:28]
Men lie women lie[00:02:32]
Numbers can be altered[00:02:33]
To look high shareholders hate taking losses[00:02:34]
This is business they don't care about your lyrics[00:02:37]
The better you sell the better future for their children[00:02:39]
Controversy sells so they support conflict[00:02:42]
Makes more progress means more profit[00:02:43]
Means more profit[00:02:46]
And artists get killed they say they so sorry[00:02:47]
Meanwhile they tell you the date of his next project[00:02:49]
What a life death made it more profit[00:02:52]
Record companies get paid for your drama[00:02:55]
And “Beef” DVD is on BET[00:02:57]
So every artist who was on it was beefin' for free[00:03:00]
While the royalties are going to QD3[00:03:02]
He Quincy Jones though what he know about beef [00:03:05]
No disrespect intended I know he got peace[00:03:08]
But it's deep how the rich get paid off our grief[00:03:10]
And every one of our great artists they die — with nothing[00:03:17]
And the record company executives were rich [00:03:23]
Sending their kids to college[00:03:26]
You're not stupid — you are brilliant[00:03:37]
But the question is: can you put your brilliance in a song [00:03:40]
Can you put the conditions[00:03:46]
Of the world in a song[00:03:49]
And inspire young people all over the world[00:03:51]
