Record Company Pimpin'

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Please listen to my demo {x8}

A nigga told me, the record company's the pimp

The artist is the hoe, The stage is the corner

And the audience is the trip, god damn

(verse one) {:21}

Incredible young nigga, you can't belive i'm just one nigga

God damn i've gotten bigger

Intellect superior,

Walk in a room and make the whole interior, inferior

If you look me in my eyes

You might fuck around and loose control of your mind body and your soul

Grab ahold

Undisputed on the microphone, what choo think

If you wink, i'll make you ich think

Did you blink, did you ever drink your own brain matter

Shotgun enima, this ain't no cinema

All praises due to the creator

--for this man here, that can't no nigga stand near--

True, inventor of the double-you

What choo wanna do, i got the red and the blue

Show me one nigga dedicated to raps

I'll show you ten niggas dedicated to snaps

Record company death traps settin' decoys

Just to pimp young b-boys

With a cup full of yak, studio contact

Maniac with a contract

Well turn up the bass and the motherfuckin' treble

About to do a deal with the devil for my vocal level

Bullshit points, plus he want to rub it in

And take all my publishin', god damn

Do i take it up the rectum

Just to rock the spectrum

Give up a right arm, just to do a form

Hell no, all you motherfukers goan leave this bitch limpin'

No more, record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'

No more No more No more No more

You ain't pimpin' me (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)

I ain't pimpin' you (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)

I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)

So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo)

I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo)

I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)

So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

(verse two) {2:01}

I'ma keep it simple, it went from "please listen to my demo"

To "get your ass out my limo"

Stretch presidential

It's essential cuz the record company will have your ass in a rental

If you let 'em, You have to behead 'em

Contracts you never read 'em

CEO's you never met 'em

Sent to an atourney, Burnstein and Burney

Nigga that's his lawyer, ain't got nothin' for ya

Treat ya like they emloy ya, i'm a warrior

Bite you in the ass like a Georgetown Hoya

When they ignore ya cause, you got to hold your balls

Catch a motherfucker slippin' in bathroom stalls

And then you show 'em that you ain't a rookie

Let 'em know that you'd rather have, more points than more pussy

Pimp turned bookie

Now how the fuck i get in so much debt

God damn, we just met

Welcome to the rap game

Motherfucker be confused and broke before he know whats happenin'

You can be the star and fuck women

I'ma just play the back and keep winnin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'

No more No more No more No more

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo)

I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo)

I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)

So what we gonna do (i got to holla at you, holla at you)

You ain't pimpin' me (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)

I ain't pimpin' you (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)

I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)

So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

It went from please listen to my demo

To get your ass out my limo {x4}

(outro) {3:43}

Mama's, don't let your kids grow up to be rappers

Unless you tell them if they gonna get in this buisness

They better learn this buisness

Or they goan get fucked

Simple as that

Simple as that
