What the fuck has happened to this culture...
Hand for hand, expand the plan, proper daps
Respect was given to further close generation gaps
'Cause when this started, there was no beef
Hip Hop was a universal language..
Landing on the moon and taking two steps for free speech
Killings were obsolete, streets vibed to the beats
Every song had a meaning, someone leading to teach
Those days are long gone, songs no longer on
A realist tip, all the damn realness has been pawned
Money hungry rappers not rapping but actin'
Infact it's become a practice to write about fashion
Passion lost, actions cost, the price of a life
Downgraded because of thoughts brought to a mic
All are caught up tight, there's no calm before the storm
It's all hectic, live to regret it, 'cause ya'll will mourn
[Chorus]
The days of real Hip Hop, obviously gone
Just can't feel the bullshit MC's are on
All artists are garbage, few have a glimmer of hope
Those underground are the ones w/ a message to boast
We must cope w/ music today, hope for the better
For now, we deal w/ four minutes wasted for cheddar
Real in the field ? Nope, it's all about the business
And how much one can spend w/ our hard earned dividends
They forget again, this culture's true essence
No presence or lecture can compare to cents
Bare w/ those who have no sense, it's quite a nuisance
To hear bling and ho talk in all of this new shit
It's true shit, although no trueness is ever spoke
Maybe reality will set in if these kids go broke
See, we've played monopoly, some ain't passed go
No 200 dollars for a demo, no real skill gets to show
Allowing bullshit to plague radiowaves and spread
Cancer to heads instead of positive medicne, dead
Are lyrics to uplift spirits, I just can't seem to nod
To tracks that have information about fake jobs
Most don't hustle, struggle to get by, or have problems
If they did, then fuck writing, why not solve them ?
Can't believe this industry has turned to greed
Respect's a thing of the past..
Look behind the MC's back, then forward
See what I see.. them only trying to satisfy their needs
[Chorus]
