Ghetto Reporter 歌詞
Close your eyes
Listen
They get niggas time like it's lunch down there
You go down there looking for justice that's what you find: just us
Its comedy its hilarious look yourself in the mirror
Tell me time aint the scariest for me dropping album after album
Like its a various artist compilation
But its just me and HB and this shit take concentration
Niggas know I dont drop this often, so cherish it (So cherish it)
Like your daughters graduation, kids marriages
When the culture vulture swooped down, they start exploitin the sound
They drеw up contracts for our niggas, drew hill to drew down
And Im prayin they sеt
Instead, most artists dont live as good as the execs
And they end up depressed
Scarred by A&Rs, the music be changin
And the culture be shiftin, so you gotta move with it
Call me the party crasher, that plan spoiler
That Malcolm C and Maya Angelou and God are holdin a camcorder
Ghetto reporter, live from 40 Side, you know my storyline
First project rapper, triple platinum with New York at pride
Kings disease
Most of us catch it at one point or another
But evolve
Find a new formula
One that takes everythin in you to make
The audacity, masterfully crafted these classics, so naturally
Had to be nasty back at it
They argue KD1, KD2, and Magic, whats harder when?
KD3 go harder than all of them
Back in the nose, barely rubbed elbows with CEOs
I was dolo, I betit shot yall to see me grow
And all those Os I sell, aint attend much industry dinners
Had to attend to my business, go past the skys limit
The hate gon rise quicker, so how could I manage this disadvantage?
Niggas Planet Hollywood, I came from a different planet
Leave it up to me to break the news you wont see on the screen
Chuckle at you mother****ers, we the last of the kings
Shout to the real ones like us, its a shortage, it seems
Im underground and overground and its never been seen
Real council my streams
Got real people tappin in, so thats what that means, indeed
It means I got nothin but the real checkin in
We locked in, all the way
Just applaud this, yeah
