Dizzy Wright - Tha Truth lyrics

Yo what happened to hip hop When people used to write for days Now everybody wanna be Lil Wayne Wanna freestyle a track Don't even think about the lyrics they rap And always talking about busting a cap What happened to role models Keeping kids away from the cell But half of these rappers on radio always going to jail But we try to teach these kids to be positive And turn around and be the opposite And when someone acknowledge it, oh now he wanna start beef And claim he was raised in the streets See I was in the streets, literally I was in the streets Asking God to give me a place to sleep But I ain't sell weed I sat back and believed that I was gonna be one of the coldest brotha's on the beat But sh** is getting weak The game ain't what it used to be You used to have to have talent, musically No matter what you look like people used to be contenders But we made it O.K. for pretenders to be remembered We have considered to just listen to the beat And not listen to the lyrics that they speak So now we like to party, so of course we need party music But real music, no one hardly do it I miss good music, even realistic hood music When n***as talked about real life And now people try way to hard to be the hardest Too many rappers, not enough artists Too much money, is making n***as fearless Beats is getting better, but I don't hear lyrics I shrug my shoulders like, "I don't even wanna hear it" f** a major label, I'mma stick to independent Cause I ain't in it for the fame, I'm in it for the love Some in it for the girls, some in it for the d** Some in it for the s**, But I'mma stay focused And I refuse to sell my soul to get noticed People get signed, and you would never know it Knock them to they lowest, and they won't even show it Or you could get a deal, and get a lot of fame And all of that fame, could make your life change First single was good, second single was whack Now the rest of your career you spend paying it back Because nobody cares nothing about you They only believe that they can get some money out you But if you ain't generation how they generation Then it leaves a n***a stimulated Cause you know your own talents, but you won't hold And contracts make you controlled And you can be cold But if you decide to get bowed You could get sued for everything you own So listen Yo See this is how the truth sounds I let it out, so I'm cool now And these tattoos express what I'm into The life that I live and the sh** that I've been through People say I'm crazy you know that's a sin dude But it's also a sin to judge my temple So I'mma do me, and you can do you And I'mma let God judge the things I do do Yeah Hip hop It's from the heart man You know what I'm sayin' Real hip hop real lyrics real music It's something we lacking these days Something we need to get back We giving pa**es to these people man Shouts out to the artists The real artists Rappers take notice Everybody doin' it
