Kutt go show how it feels

to be voided but listen

First I'll make you miss it,

like the senate was missin

Patricia Hearst cause I been in it for a minute

Put minutes in till it hurt, not for minute will I let

you diminish my men at work

And I been hurting trying to fathom the burden

But grieved not I put in work, inside and out

I'm deserving a clean shot

You people nursing every NERD

you encourage to speak not

Or you'll get murdered, you ain't heard

how the industry seized Pac

Verse 2

Somebody help the fame hurtin

I won't fall for the bullshit

So fuck ya'll wit a hard dick

drop jaws when we barge in ya turn bitch

In front of hard men most rappers are garbage

Mitch bade are target how soon de forget that

Strange is the hardest wit a line up of artists

Do it regardless

it's all about where your heart is

You can start this but Strange gonna finish it

Menice rhyme spoken

in every line it presented in

Chorus

To all you hataz in power we say

(Fuck the Industry, Fuck the Industry)

Jack yo placks put'em down on ebay

(Fuck the Industry, Fuck the Industry)

And all you boogie ass chumps can't touch us

The industry is some punk mutha fuckers

You tell'em FTI when anybody ask ya

Fuck the industry, they the enemy

Verse 3

Fuck this industry man

I'll make it happen boy

With fat change this rap thing

Full of hoes and hataz and hat gain

The CEO don't want no part to this do

Cuz if you're fuckin up against

My firm is squakin at you mean carkas is thru

The A.R. better stay in this car

cuz I'm parkin it to

Don't hate Brim cause I'm talking the truth

My dogs is barking at you

so you better get your mind right

Deuce clik representation we in the lime light

Verse 4

This rage is against the machine

Turn these pages and flip till they clean

And what remains is 4 Krizz 2 be seen

So I say "Fuck the Industry"

Cause da speech that u preach to do people

Is so evil so "fuck your ministry"

How they ever gon' say what we gon' say

How they ever gon' say what we gon' do

Here I come 4 the mon and I'm comin with a gun

Now tell me what I will and I won't do

F - Fear em they blast hoes

T - Tear 'em a new asshole

I - Infect their mind wit this lyrical blindness

Chorus

Verse 5

Hey Skatterman I heard you rollin' with Tech

But I still ain't signed

cuz I'm a problem for these record execs.

How can they market

a young black political target?

Who done took coca leaves

beacon soda and enlarged it

Into crack rocks selling crack rocks for a livin'

From the black top

where we jack cops for a livin'

So fuck the industry and damn the beats

I ain't just in the street

I'm Skatterman, I am the streets, Nigga

Verse 6

You got a smile glarin', cause you get it packed

I got yo gal starin', cause you minute mack

You go yo mouth swearing that yo hit is plack

You hatin' file-sharing cause your shit is wack

Sampled yo CD listened and it was cheesy

No cable box 4 your TV no label watch for your breezy

We ride feel the pain

from inside fuck yo fame cause it died

Said yo thang was about the game claimed

Then he banged but you lied

Bout yo artist but yo artist is the farthest

From the harest but you market

This bark at this bunk dirty carpet

Shit game is out smarted

Oops somebody farted bout to spark this shit

Niggas are retarded look what you've started

Cerami Mark is pissed

Imma break it down for you clowns

In the industry chain

(Fuck perspective Warner Bros., Qwest and JCOR's name)

Strange, we independent and you suckas

Are the enemy you fuckin up the industry

You bustas will remember me

Chorus

Repeat 2 times
