I heard the baby monitor go off, I gotta check up on the cradle, haha
Hah, phew, ha, ha
Uh, I heard the baby monitor go off, I gotta check up on the cradle
I heard my baby monitor go off, I gotta check up on the cradle
I hear some crying coming from the cot, I gotta pick up all my babies
My fault, I let 'em listen to the lies, now they following the fables, huh
They're following them pages that be lying and saying that I'm lazy, huh
I'm going through it for the culture, man, I'm going through it with the label
I'm going through it with the vultures tryna take all the money off the table
I spent hundreds and thousands just to make it right, a nigga just turned ungrateful
It was the ??? that was winning, now all my kids turned different
I used to protect them from the grillings, now all these victims turnt villains
The game was a trap, I tried to tell 'em, how many times? Thirty million
They wanna sign, mmcht, now look how it looks
They wanna sign to the crooks, huh, turn back time, I wish I could, uh
We was all stars in the hood, now it's 'bout mainstream money
Now you're just numbers on a book, how comes the jokes ain't funny?
How comes the thought ain't hit you? Ain't a dream, like, Spotify tricked you
This game ain't a skill issue, the blogs and the brands on residual
Your monthly listeners going up, but tell me why the money miss you?
I could cry a river, but £0.0 won't buy a tissue
Yeah, I can talk like this 'cause I'm ten years in, lil' boy, I'm official
I'm baptised and I'm christened, this confirmed, this religious
Hm, sign of the cross when you see me, pussy, pay your tithes, this a million
'Cause I tried to fly us in together, I realized phew, huh
I tried to fly us in together, realised we ain't the same feather
Uh, you know, when they see a eagle, of course the pigeons get jealous
I tried to build a nest for all of us to eat, how we end up with eleven?
Uh, I gotta take accountability 'cause I was tryna fund it from America
I was tryna fund it from The States, built a imprint, and then they told me, "Wait"
Uh, they made a promise to me then, it weren't right when the offer finally came
Uh, I put my own bread up just to get YT, but I was too late
My man slimed me out for my lil' bros, I ain't gonna say his name
Tch, I ain't gonna say his name, you know what I'm saying?
'Cause that's not gangster
How you gonna cruise on a ship, huh, when I'm the whole anchor?
All my boys turnt men but forgetting who pulled they pants up
Huh, I just told Cadell, "Let's talk about it, man, call EdRants up"
Huh, shit be gettin' sticky, dog, outsiders getting lippy, dog
Huh, this shit get tricky, dog, huh, I'm the prince of the city, dog
They said I lost my fire, dog, huh, they think a nigga hiding, dog
Huh, they think a nigga falling off, first degree, let's call it up
Huh, before you disrespect the house, you gotta pay the mortgage off
Huh, I don't want a homage, cuz, but I can cut your story off
Numbers never got me to the throne, what makes you think it pull me off?
Jubilee-ass niggas, please stop fuckin' with a tourbillion
Hahaha
See what I'm sayin'? See what I'm sayin'?
See what I'm sayin'? See what I'm sayin'?
[Parlé: Michael Jackson]
This is very important, because
Throughout the years, Black artists have been taken advantage of, completely
And it's time now that we have to put a stop to this incredible, incredible injustice
And like, uh, like, um, what Al Sharpton was saying
People from James Brown to Sammy Davis Jr
Some of the real pioneers that, uh, that inspired me to be the entertainer that I am
These artists are always on tour because if they stopped touring they would totally go broke
And, uh, it's been the record companies really, really do conspire against their artists
They steal, they cheat, they do whatever they can
