Verse 1:

This phony ass industry needs to be exposed

All shows when they posed in they clothes selling they souls

This is how it goes, shit they spitting is fiction

When they signed ain't about who can flip the best diction

It's who got the best image, it's all superficial

Go sign a deal, then the truth'll hit you

Give you a mill, that's the cheese you the rat

It's a trap deeper than rap, so y'all do the math

Get ten cents a copy, first recoup the losses

Belongs to the label, even ice dude flosses

Can't write your own shit, it's all ghostwritten

They tell you how you're supposed to be spitting

Same shit every time cuz it makes them rich

So y'all don't know who's real and who fakes this shit

Pull kids from the burbs, talk like they big with words

Pretend they flipping birds and that bids have been served

Hook 2x:

The truth - it's what they don't want you to know

The truth - you sign a deal you selling your soul

The truth - they control the way that you flow

The truth - rap's fake like a TV show

Verse 2:

Why you think they glorify people getting shot?

Yeah it's about gwap, but don't forget the master plot

Hip hop ain't hip hop, more like a sedative

Was empowering, they turned it negative

MTV, BET, the same corporation

That's why the same songs are on all the stations

If you don't believe me then look at Rick Ross

Said he's the boss, then he got bopped

For being a CO, but that's just one example

Remember Little Brother their video got cancelled

It was too intelligent, they don't want you educated

Tryna keep us quiet like people who meditated

Conscious emcees it's like we don't make a sound

Think it's coincidence we stay underground?

Speak out and either get the noose or get locked

So always remember the truth gets blocked

Hook
