lyrics
Verse 1 (MCMD)
Rappers nowadays are feeling slighted on the daily
Yup nobody paid me, yup this game is crazy
You changed it with some new word arrangement
but they all sit around like "you know what his name is?" No
We never even ever been to his show
But I heard he just retired twenty minutes ago
It's a shame you decided to stop now, you had it on lock down
the way you copied Tupac's sound
Claiming hip hop's dying but that's funny to me
cause none of ya'll are doctors or got a fucking degree
Feel like life ain't fair, boy you god damn right
The only thing you're guaranteed is a place to curl up and die
If you want to make it, you can never be complacent
if you need someone to blame you should blame your motivations
and that's an understatement, you need to understand
that your the only man responsible to try and change it
Chorus
Life is what you make it so you better make it something
or else you getting nothing, boy, you getting nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
I hope you like your nothing boy, you getting nothing
Life is what you make it so you better make it something
or else you getting nothing, boy, you getting nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
You'll get nothing and like it!
Verse 2 (Oso Negro)
They say fake it til you make it, never make it you're just a fake
severed then replaced by your brethren - another snake
Crushed debate, muster hate, flushed the gator
Grew up in the sewer consumed by furor then rushed ya later
Snapping on a mug, spill proof MC
Thriving on saliva spit consume til empty
I see the glass is half dark matter
Getting so fired up my lips smack and flash a spark at ya
Taking biters to task demand integrity
Blatant liars on blast command celebrity
Flagrant writers for trash cast as enemy
Check one two, two to date, death mask a Kennedy
Liberty's tree fed by blood of the tyrants
as souls of the patriots rush to remind us
Battle is both figurative and literal
Originality and content Indivisible
Chorus
Verse 3 (MCMD)
These emcees make claims of royalty but never put an album out
Never doing shows...shit, that must be a heavy crown
A heavy burden that you bear never heard a word he shared,
heard that you got shot at but I looked around like where?
It wasn't in this city, I doubt it's in this state
If your music wasn't shitty, maybe you'd avoid the hate
Hey hey, maybe you should try to put some effort into writing
or just move around on stage so your shows seem more exciting
but inviting all your cousins doesn't mean that people love it
go back to doing what your good at - serving chicken nuggets
It is gonna be a while before your Unkie O and I
ever hand over this mic to give these fake emcees a try
I've spent more time on my music than you have procrastinating
we just booked another tour, you just booked a new vacation
Wasting all that time with a dream that's in your heart
claiming that you'll never stop but when you gonna start boy?
Chorus
