determines if one is underground or commercial
The conclusion that I found,
So I'm re fusing to be bound,
So before you place me in either or
and you can see what's yours
Then go ahead and copy it,
My description is unfiltered
It's like seeing a pyramid
Anything less would be inexcusable
My intent is to fill the atmosphere
With these intense rhymes I invent
It's man datory that I kick
That's the name of the game
If hip -hop was mine we'd both shine
That propaganda taking over
That's the name of the game
If hip -hop was mine we'd both shine
when skills used to be the emphasis
Till it turns into a business, and ever since,
then it hasn't been the same
a lot of y 'all with fame ain't dope, not at all
So your label's forced to resort to other means,
unorthodox tactics powered by the machine
The purpose of a sound scan report,
is for artists to keep track of how many records they fans bought
It used to be about a hot song,
now they got heads lockin' on to hitsdailydouble .com
Got you brainwashed to think
The first week sales determine
Major retailers, mom and pops
If it's wack, who they tryna kick?
Question is, will you pay for garbage just
cause a million others did?
That's the name of the game
If hip -hop was mine, we both shine
When it all comes the same
That pro paganda taking over
That's the name of the game
If hip -hop was mine, we'd both shine
Let it out, I'm just sayin'
Is pro paganda takin' over?
I'm on a mission, out to snatch respect
You want punchlines? I got em
In battles, I be catchin' wreck
A true hip -hop aficionado
Know -it -alls, quick to criticize flows
Listen, I'm talking about whoever
Don't make me have to break
it down through repetition
Jones, no need to ask who
Wu -Tang already told you in this game,
you can go from barely known
To hav ing a top ten single
Hip -hop generates billions
Those who get the biggest piece
They care about the culture the least
Next time they try to sell
Watch out for the propaganda
That's the name of the game
If hip -hop was mine we'd both shine
Then it all sounds the same
That propaganda taking over
That's the name of the game
If hip -hop was mine we'd both shine
Then it all sounds the same
That propaganda taking over
