[Intro]

Yea, (another gutter...) you know we had to do it this time baby! Nah-mean?

My nigga D, we walk through the motherfucking' doors

Of the industry together baby! Nah-mean? (Gots to tell the truth)

You gave that shit dog, Ya know what I'm sayin?

Me like yo, go hard on these niggas baby, Nah-mean? (Gots to tell the truth)

Go hard just let niggas know

What the fuck is really going on

Now that's what the fuck I did! Aight!

Arf, Arf. What!


[Verse 1]

The industry; man its not the same

The industry; its not a fucking game

The industry; real niggas is dying to get in

The industry; just to find they don't fit in

The industry; ain't what it used to be

The industry; trying to control the way you MC

They want you to dress like that this and talk like that

But I'm gon' dress like this and talk with the bat

The industry; got y'all word meaning nothing

The industry; fuck what you heard cause he's bluffing

The industry; money, bitches, hate

But I dare you to try to take a fucking thing off my plate

The industry like "Wait!", but in the streets we like "Get 'em"

Seventeen up in that thing, catch 'em sleeping and hit 'em

And Ima pop whoever with 'em, the coroner is coming to get 'em

Industry niggas, so that's how I did 'em


[Hook]

The industry; mad niggas is full of shit

The industry; mad niggas is sucking dick

The industry; bitches keep thinking its a game

The industry; don't mention my fucking name

The industry; mad niggas is full of shit

The industry; mad niggas is sucking dick

The industry; bitches keep thinking its a game

The industry; don't mention my fucking name, nigga


[Verse 2]

The Industry; if you ain't got a strong mind

The industry; will break you down its a matter of time

The industry; vultures with nothing to feast on

The industry; see me I'm getting my beast on

The industry; staying in the dirt, playing in the dirt

Touch the wrong one in the industry and you will get hurt

I'm not an industry artist, I'm an artist in the industry

That's why I do what the fuck I want, cause nobody can finish me

The industry; wanted dead or alive

New artist to sell they souls, the way they survive

The industry don't give a fuck about you

But the industry couldn't make a dime without you

The industry; I'm sick of this industry shit

The industry; playing you like a industry bitch

They try to finish me quick but I am long, so I stand strong

Fuck a beat, listen to the words of the damn song


[Hook]


[Outro (over hook)]

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh (2X)

Shit is crazy yo

They loaning you money to make a album

You pay 'em back the money, they still on the album

What part of the game is that? (I tell you the truth, I don't lie)

You write your own shit, but they hold on to your shit

What part of the game is that?

(I don't try to hurt nobody, I mind my business)

You know what, the average nigga makes like

(All these industry niggas could suck a fucking dick!!)

Twenty-six cents over a motherfucking record

We need a motherfucking union baby!!!

[Outro from performance on Def Poetry Jam]

Often, my words fall on deaf ears

Motherfuckers be listenin' but don't hear

Talkin' to 'em and they be sittin' right here

I be like "Where you goin'!?", nigga be like "Yeah"
