| [00:00.000] |
So many rappers have come and gone |
| [00:02.430] |
I guess this rap game has really done them wrong |
| [00:05.596] |
So many rappers tryin' to get their name out |
| [00:07.990] |
Many got caught up for just havin' their chain out |
| [00:11.070] |
So many rappers couldn't handle showbiz |
| [00:13.494] |
While I'm steady rockin', so you know what it is |
| [00:16.433] |
So many rappers made this their dream |
| [00:18.839] |
Then quickly, most have disappeared from the scene |
| [00:21.357] |
So many one-hit wonders, it's like a spin of the wheel |
| [00:23.972] |
You know I stay consistent and get it in for real |
| [00:26.990] |
So many rappers wanna rock like this |
| [00:29.495] |
But they got no stamina and they don't talk like this |
| [00:32.334] |
Plus I've learned to avoid the traps |
| [00:34.748] |
I truly love this shit, that's word to MTV Raps |
| [00:37.819] |
They'll get their little run and have a little fun |
| [00:40.425] |
Some'll go for popularity, to a little, then to none |
| [00:43.439] |
Some'll get jacked 'cause they floss too much |
| [00:45.755] |
Others'll leave the game 'cause they lost too much |
| [00:48.385] |
Some got bodied before they were totally on |
| [00:51.090] |
It's like when keepin' it real goes totally wrong |
| [00:53.773] |
Some get beat by managers, and shiesty execs |
| [00:56.486] |
Others are brainwashed by their unlikely success |
| [00:59.258] |
Well, I have proven time and time again |
| [01:01.755] |
That I'm built to last, so watch me shine again |
| [01:04.988] |
So many rappers have come and gone |
| [01:07.129] |
I guess this rap game has really done them wrong |
| [01:10.339] |
So many rappers tryin' to get their name out |
| [01:12.729] |
Many got caught up for just havin' their chain out |
| [01:15.810] |
So many rappers couldn't handle showbiz |
| [01:18.083] |
While I'm steady rockin', so you know what it is |
| [01:21.151] |
So many rappers made this their dream |
| [01:23.279] |
Then quickly, most have disappeared from the scene |
| [01:26.500] |
Many had major deals, big money and all that |
| [01:28.934] |
On 106 & Park, in magazines and all that |
| [01:31.709] |
So many had all that, so how did they fall flat? |
| [01:34.398] |
That's why my motto has always been to just fall back |
| [01:37.250] |
And watch the whole circus go by, I'm that guy |
| [01:39.759] |
As soon as I appear on the scene, nigga, it's shy |
| [01:42.875] |
So many pranksters with so many gimmicks |
| [01:44.993] |
Wonder where they're at now, probably somewhere lookin' timid |
| [01:47.890] |
It's all madness, there's too many to count |
| [01:50.375] |
Everybody and their mom wanna rap, no doubt |
| [01:52.959] |
Many come out with a bang, and their own new slang |
| [01:55.607] |
Then end up back in the hood without a goddamn thing |
| [01:58.422] |
Some make noise, they hit the top of the charts |
| [02:00.991] |
Still, the shit that I kick will be stoppin' they hearts |
| [02:04.253] |
So many rappers in search of fame |
| [02:06.429] |
And most'll be lucky if we remember their names |
