[Intro]

And they send me to prison

My baby sit down and cry

Yeah, five step process (Easy)

This is what it takes to be a rapper, nigga (Easy)

It's a lotta you niggas in the game right now (Easy)

You knamean? (Easy)

Spoilin' shit for everybody (Easy)

Niggas better get on your grind for real, nigga (Easy)

Let's go with it (Easy)

Let's go with it, uh, uh


[Verse 1]

Listen, first comes mixtapes, it's like a million niggas

Gettin' at one bitch by the nine-thousandth date

She's sick of that same shit, but can't pick her face

'Cause she confused as to whom is real and whom is fake

Every nigga's a gangsta with a hundred guns, bodied a million plus

Did twеnty years in prison, sold ki's by the tons

Blood or crippin'n, but beef killin' and

No money gеttin' only resides in the mind of the idiot

Then comes demo shoppin', you gotta have a song with

Biggie and Pac now and they still not signin'

Your songs gotta be mixed, mastered with a video

With a Diddy cameo, directed by Dave Myers

You gotta be gettin' spins at least a hundred a week

Press up, clean out the trunk, and go gold in the streets

But I stray from the norm 'cause, Aas' don't conform

I'm a rebel, here to bring the treble, hold it now


[Chorus]

Some of these niggas just don't belong here

Most of these niggas sound just the same

And all of these niggas that don't belong here

Somehow they get here and fuck up the game

Now take a walk with me, take a walk with me

Take a walk with me, now take a walk with me

Take a walk with me, take a walk with me

Take a walk with me, now take a walk with me (Easy)


[Verse 2]

Fuck a fad, A&R, CEO, or Pres'

I ain't lookin' to sign a deal, I do me instead

Niggas in uniforms, white tees, Dewey's, and fitteds

Air Force Ones and jerseys and they jewelry they rented

And every verse got a line about rims like children

They don't stop, Cristal pop, iced out watch

Big gold chain, you could see 'em comin' for blocks

Wolverines on the prowl they either want it or not

Next comes dissin' niggas, but listen, niggas

You better be careful who you dissin', 'cause this is critical

Shit could go real quick from lyrical to physical

Niggas is sensitive nowadays, insertin' it nowadays

Got so-called thugs cryin', like

"Why we said that, son? He don't know me, son"

There's a five step process to bein' a rapper

But in all reality, niggas is actors, hold it now


[Chorus]

Some of these niggas just don't belong here

Most of these niggas sound just the same

And all of these niggas that don't belong here

Somehow they get here and fuck up the game

Now take a walk with me, take a walk with me

Take a walk with me, now take a walk with me

Take a walk with me, take a walk with me

Take a walk with me, now take a walk with me (Easy)
