You are not jayz, you are not j cole
You aint even j kwon nigga, what the fuck you on nigga?!
You wanna rap cause you think it looks easyyy
The only brothers you saw winning on tv?
I hear a youngin say they wanna rap i think danger
You're betting with your life and the odds aint in your favor
This game is a casino, they do not have your back
Put your money in their slot machine you wont get it back
The house always wins especially when you're black
A couple niggas might make it, but the rest gon' fall flat
Your master plans to make a million doing rap
That's a pipedream at best boy you're smarter than that
Go to school, find a trade, buy a building
Meet a girl, get married, have some children
You're wasting god's gifts, that's a downright sin
You do not have to rap cause you have brown skin

I'm a product of my environment all these niggas is mobsters
Couple shooters, but ain't never at the Oscars
Never had a poppa to tell me that I could prosper
But I got ASAP
Where I'm from ain't no doctors, lawyers or accountants to show us the ropes
And give us hope, preacher sell it but I'm barely afloat
That's why I'm idolizing niggas like Jigga, hope I get bigger to get the type of Fuckin' money to buy us a boat
These are more than rhymes
This is meditation, medication, elevation
This is for my niggas hoop dreaming
Who wanna play for the Knicks but to busy sellin' nicks cause money Bitches and whips is the only thing we glorify
Only thing we see
Jobs ain't callin' back so the only thing we'll be
Is degenerates and I ain't talkin' Ellen
This America, my skin color is enough to label me a felon God damn!
