Everybody wants the fortune and fame
The more things change
The more they stay the same

This industry is like a crap 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 crap game
Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game

Where do I begin
Well the industry shady not
Everybody is your friend
I had to learn that **** the hard way
In and out bogus contracts 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 **** 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
******' everything movin' thinkin'
Groupies will never do nothing back to us
Kick 'em out the hotel swearing
I hit my finer things
Lost a bunch of jewelry from
A rolex to a diamond chain *****
How in the hell did I get caught slippin'
Meanwhile on all my records
***** 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 ****
Yeah I done smashed some video
Vixens and some actresses
But brand name ***** don't feel
No different on my matresses

Insecure hoes with breast
Jobs and butt shots
Blaming on us rich ******
Sponsoring **** and what not
Now guys are just as big as
Groupies as these women is
Till you break up and a *****
Wonder where her percentage is
While these regular hoes are try
Rying to play the trap game

And now is the time I blame
It on the rap game
Everybody wants the fortune and fame

The more things change
The more they stay the same

This industry is like a crap 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 crap 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 insanity
Thieves using our name promoting
These fake appearances
Publicists overcharging taking
Years for these clearances

I got sued some rappers said
I stole their joint *****
Spend half a million just to prove a
******* point *****

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 ***** wanting to go and
Load a couple magazines
Head to your office and shoot
Up the whole ******* staff
Post that on your website and
Burn while I ******* laugh
You protesters at my concerts

Y'all make me sick
I thought I told y'all
I would never disrespect a *****
It's clear to see that hip
Hop's under attack man
Or is it cause that no one
Wants to see a rich black man
Really they want us with no money
Hungover and missing flights and
Cutting our show money
Hip hop cops still lurkin' and
Trying to catch us slippin'
And put us in a position to
Make some real life decisions Hmmm
Or do we just be doing dumb ****
Emptying out these gun clips
And always on the run ****

Lifestyles of us entertaining hood ******

If it's bad to be a rapper what's good *****
Everybody wants the fortune and fame
The more things change
The more they stay the same
This industry is like a crap 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 crap game

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game
