    Formula - Respect to Greed


    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]

    Content in this was dope - liked the monopoly line - the flow was good in the first half, but I lost it in a few places in the second half - vocab was decent - chorus was pretty good - nice scheme, especially in the first half - nice drop - peace
