[Intro: Spoken-word sample of George Buck Flower]

Thought you boys understood it's business? That's all it is

You still don't get it, do you boys? No more good guys!

They're running the whole show, they own everything

The whole damn planet, they can do whatever they want!

What's wrong with having it good for a change?

And they're gonna let us have it good if we just help 'em

They're gonna leave us alone! Let us make some money!

You can have a little taste of that good life too

Now I know you want it, hell everybody does

You'd do it to your own kind

What's the threat? We all sell out everyday

Might as well be on the winnin' team!


[Verse 1: Decompoze]

Yo, this is Decompoze, and I gotta say

We need to try to keep this music to ourselves

We selling out this art, for some money

To a guy who don't care nothing about this music

We gotta keep it to ourselves, trying to win the Indy 500

Like this, check it out, check it out, check it out


[Hook: Decompoze]

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

'Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500

Verse 2: [Decompoze]

Start your engines, mo' pole positions got me sittin'

In the fifth row, you only go if you're gassed like Citgo

And since my terrorist car's brand new

My pit crew consists of me, and the Binary, too

For your car, you got the luxuries of a star

You got a crew of two dozen plus an A&R

That's your axle and your ratchet man

'Cause after he get rich, man

You skid out in the ditch and be abandoned, need refixin'

You also got the pressure, first to second no lesser

If you don't, you think you'll drive again, you'd never

See, it's not about the car, it's the way you drivin' it

If you cats is lame, can't maintain than you won't survive in it

I'm revivin' it

The record wreckage I steer though

Coming from behind, unseen by rear view

You sleep in your seat, don't even know what's the deal

No suggestions on directions, they're controlling your wheel

And if you ever finish first a platinum trophy is risen

Your prize money? Your staff of two dozen got dibs in

Know the cars, know the race, cause if you get outsmarted

It doesn't matter where you finish, you'll end up where you started


[Hook: Decompoze]

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win, my goal's to win, my goal's to win


[Verse 3: Decompoze]

It's the battle of Dave and Goliath, the big and small

We need to take control of this shit, and get it all

Expect these rec' execs to take a fall

I came to collect my checks and that's my call

Don't confuse it: They pay your dumb ass, to abuse it

To get rich they use it, then they call it nigga music?

You lose it, you're sold for some crumbs and promo

But if you really want the dough, bro, you would go solo

You put food on your table playing the game wrong

While you dialing that fast food, they eat filet mignon

They applied the pressure, so you gave 'em a song

And if that shit don't hit, the next day you're gone

My copyrights are exclusive, for my uses

They make you a public nuisance, every unit you get two cents

I got influence, the underground, the X factor

A record deal's slavery, so when you sign say, "Yes, master"


[Hook: Decompoze]

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win, my goal's to win, my goal's to win

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win the Indy 500

My goal's to win, my goal's to win, my goal's to win

All we need is beats and rhymes to go and spark it

As long we got the underground, yo, we got a market

I don't need an agent to tell me how to run it

Cause my goal's to win the Indy 500


[Outro: Decompoze]

Uppercut [?]

Indy 500

That's all we need

Beats and rhymes [?] market in the underground

Yo, check it out: It don't matter where you finish as an independent, as long as you finish. Peace - Decompoze
