about

Stop making weakheart rap and calling it hip hop. Stop standing on
your legend status and making watered down music. Part of the reason Hip Hop is oversaturated with bullshit is because there's no more torch passing unless you're already popular and alot of the veterans / legends wanna stay relevant so no one says anything and pretends to be in one big happy rap family. FVCK THAT. Shottas fired.

PS - Salute to all our OGs out there still keeping it dirty and passing the torch!

lyrics

Verse 1

u said f*k the protestors
was u eatin caviar w your investors
that's makes me crazy
the godz got lazy and pampered
ima come and burn your diamond knitted hammock
life lavish
went from master to average
but masses gave passes
cuz trap made niggas actors
racist paper presidents factor
your decisions
i learned to be relentless from u
now u w them
f*k that
i grew up w them east coast rules
whether u makin 20 million
or whether u playin blues
there's a standard
i know it i live it i breathe it
legends stop seekin
cuz hip hop is lost and ominous
commercial Armageddon slashed your common sense
satan's politics reign rule
man the kings dont honor sh*t

verse 2

the sub genre trap
took over rap
u adapt how u write
man that sh*t is aite
the light from the torch
has been scorched to its ashes
i write to enlight
i dont resort to that plastic
it's f*cked up to see the culture
pulse in a casket
TRAGIC
G.L.A.M. hop turned the stupid loose
instead of hypin the new
they create super groups
that sh*t is terrible too
american rules
we knew gangsta equal prostitute
but conscious up-lifters turned to conscious tools
n*ggaz forgot talkin blues was the blue print
i've been watchin u
now it's time to hang them loose ends
and ima make the noose fit
u taught me the path of artists rites
now it make perfect sense
y james baldwin dissed richard wright
goodnight

Verse 3

uh!
lean with my nina
nah it's that ether
simone
atone for the teachers
the seed turn to roots
then grow fruit
but the fruit's stale
West
slaughtered the goats
jordan down
fruitvale
ay ay ay
ayo the gods must be crazy
yall the niggas
that taught us
but now
these niggas
is lazy
we was waiting
for you to save us
then u niggas
got famous
now u just
entertainers
uh
YOU
invented the flava
showed us all of the basics
now YOU won't
even taste it!
ah!
see this is what a
diss grace
is
dancing with the stars
while we
boogie down
in da basement
lookin like the replacements
shooters is giving statements
king's men
turn KEANU
at the arraignment

Verse 4

I'm talking U U U
and U2 nigga
while yall partying
like ROCK STARS
shotty's in the armoire
beam me up scottie
foxy na na
i know they not iller than US
911
the bigger the artist
the bigger the target
GARVEYITE
Marc's Men
ur circles been
red dotted
melt the GRAMMYS
give the gold to the old folks
suck
win
blow blow
4 4 4
that was cute but I know
betta
one monkey ain't H & M
and one Flex Freestyle
don't make U great again
They Reminiscing Over You
nigga think again
Ambrosia for the heads
stinkin up the gym!
SIN
get them niggas off the floor
cause they fukin up the sport
with that softball
HOW ABOUT SOME HARDCORE???
