Nine-Five - Murs[00:00:00]
Now most of us could waste a whole lifetime[00:00:21]
Doing sh*t we don't believe in [00:00:23]
So I'm retrieving words[00:00:24]
Of gold to expose my soul on the sheets[00:00:25]
Combined with the beat of song complete [00:00:27]
To compete Nah[00:00:30]
Cause most of you won't understand it[00:00:31]
Taking this existance for granted[00:00:33]
Never going after what you really want[00:00:34]
Cause you ain't got the heart[00:00:36]
So your life never starts to have meaning[00:00:38]
Fiending for something to fill that void[00:00:39]
Annoyed with the surroundings you picked[00:00:41]
Cause they don't seem to fit your person[00:00:43]
Rehearsing what they said would make you happy[00:00:45]
Until you realized one day Damn they trapped me[00:00:47]
But who are they anyway To tell you how to live[00:00:49]
A college degree then a career [00:00:52]
The only decent way to raise kids[00:00:54]
But I disagree see I wasn't put here to make a living[00:00:55]
My living makes me so even if it takes me a lifetime[00:00:59]
I'm write rhymes that I feel[00:01:02]
Some sh*t for when I'm fired [00:01:03]
That sh*t for when I'm chill[00:01:05]
And even if I never make that ticket to a meal[00:01:06]
I'll still be a success[00:01:09]
Cause my purpose will have been filled[00:01:10]
It came to me like a vision[00:01:32]
The decision was all mine combined with the fact[00:01:33]
The lack of points on my GPA[00:01:36]
Made a college hard to find[00:01:38]
Walk a line into this world of the so-called real[00:01:39]
Never backed by a deal [00:01:41]
So there was no desire to appeal[00:01:43]
To the masses of those [00:01:44]
Who seemed closed captioned[00:01:46]
To the fractions of light [00:01:47]
That glimmer in the dimmer night[00:01:48]
Sight obscured by this bullshit[00:01:50]
We must endure[00:01:51]
Pure thought caught before it can become manifest[00:01:52]
Leaving us obsessed [00:01:55]
With these objects that bring temporary joy[00:01:56]
Decoys in the game just like these b-boys and fame[00:01:58]
To get you to stop focus on the art[00:02:01]
And start focusing upon making the charts[00:02:03]
Not to start pointing fingers[00:02:06]
Cause I had the benefit of learning from others mistakes[00:02:07]
Those who helped make hip-hop what it is today[00:02:10]
To go through the sh*t and cause me to say[00:02:12]
What the f**k is the music business anyway [00:02:15]
Paradox coca-cola commercials advertising dreadlocks[00:02:17]
Government officials trying[00:02:20]
To communicate with us through hip-hop[00:02:21]
Which should only serve as a demonstration[00:02:23]
That our generation holds control of this nation[00:02:25]
But the creation of Hip-Hop Temples won't help[00:02:28]
If the music don't stay up to par[00:02:30]
So many rap superstars supernova [00:02:32]
And just burn out[00:02:34]
Get addicted to the cash then the label turn them out[00:02:35]
I hadn't picked up the a in days just been amazed[00:02:53]
On how many motherf**kers[00:02:55]
Actually think that this rhyming is a phase[00:02:57]
Ain't ate a decent meal in days[00:02:59]
So I guess that this dispels the rumors[00:03:00]
That this rhyme sh*t pays[00:03:02]
Nowadays it seems MC means anybody[00:03:03]
On the block who can make words rhyme[00:03:06]
But I remember a time when I rapped [00:03:08]
And no one noticed me[00:03:09]
And now fools is blowing up [00:03:10]
Off some third grade poetry[00:03:12]
And it's a damn shame[00:03:13]
That we let the game get so low[00:03:14]
Where it's the dumbest[00:03:16]
Motherf**kers representing hip-hop [00:03:17]
Wherever you go[00:03:19]
And these fools take pride in being ignorant[00:03:19]
Not to say that I'm innocent;[00:03:21]
Cause I buy these fools records too[00:03:23]
So the label can get paid and bring out [00:03:25]
Another ignorant crew[00:03:27]
And I know too many heads[00:03:28]
Trying to get college degrees[00:03:29]
So how long will we tolerate remedial MC's [00:03:31]
So please realize[00:03:33]
If something doesn't evolve or advance it dies[00:03:35]
You listen to the sh*t out now [00:03:37]
And tell me where the future lies b**ch[00:03:39]
