Everybody wants the
fortune and fame
The more things change,
the more they stay the same
This in dustry is like a crack game
Sometimes you gotta charge it to
the rap game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
This in dustry is like a
crack game
Sometimes you gotta charge it
to the rap game
Where do I begin
Well, the industry shady not every
body is your friend
I had to learn that shit the hard way
In and out bogus con tracts since before
I was rapping in the hallway
Everyone out for money,
executives out for blood
If you don't keep the music current then
labels'll pull the plug (get it)
Hard to admit when shit don't
go the way you plan
While everybody's on instagram just
fronting like life is brand
Take it back to one of my first tours
Fuckin' everything movin' thinkin'
groupies will never do nothing back to us
Kick 'em out the hotel swear
ing I hit my finer things
Lost a bunch of jewelry from a rolex to
a diamond chain (bitch)
How in the hell did I get
caught slippin'
Meanwhile on all my records, nigga
talkin' bout he pimpin'
Maybe I exaggerated a lil bit
You know fake it till you make it every one
of us rappers gotta talk a little shit
Yeah I done smashed some video
vixens and some act resses
But brand name pussy don't feel no
different on my matresses
Insecure hoes with brest jobs
an d butt shots
Blaming on us rich niggas
sponsoring shit and what not
Now guys are just as big as
groupies as these women is
Till you break up and a bitch wonder
where her percentage is
While these regular hoes are trying
to play the trap game
And now is the time I blame it on
the rap game
Everybody wants the fortun
e and fame
The more things change,
the more they stay the same
This industry is like a crack game
Sometimes you gotta charge it to
the rap game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
This in dustry is like a
crack game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
Listen, this ain't scripted this reality
It take some drugs for us to conquer
this in sanity
Thieves using our name promot
ing these fake appearances
Publicists overcharging taking
years for these clearances
I got sued some rappers said
I stole their joint nigga
Spend half a million just to prove
a fucking point nigga
We got the fans thinking
rappers never lose
Gave a producer a hundred grand for a beat
I never use (damn)
The false stories and being
misquoted in magazines
Got a nigga wanting to go and
load a couple magazines
Head to your office and shoot
up the whole fucking staff
Post that on your website and
burn while I fucking laugh
You protesters at my concerts
y'all make me sick
I thought I told y'all I would never
disrespect a bitch
It's clear to see that hip hop's
un der attack man
Or is it cause that no one wants
to see a rich black man
Really they want us with
no money
Hungoverand missing flights
and cutting our show money
Hip hop cops still looking and try
ing to catch us slippin'
And put us in a position to make some
real life decisions (hmmm)
Or do we just be doing dumb shit
Emptying out these gun clips and
always on the run shit
Lifestyles of us entertaining hood niggas
If it's bad to be a rapper
what's good nigga
Everybody wants the
fortune and fame
The more things change,
the more they stay the same
This industry is like a crack game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
Sometimes you gotta charge
it to the rap game
This industry is like a crack game
Sometimes you gotta
charge it to the rap game
