Dutch Ma**ive - Soul Searchin' lyrics

[Verse 1 - Dutchma**ive] I'm not an MC; I'm just a fan who likes to interact Great MC's are a thing of the past Cats is either too simple or too abstract Not enough emotion, too many battle raps Besides when we do compete heads get waxed Laughed at them, glad ya'll didn't release that Don't be mad at me, I'm just tryin' to maintain Too critical, I've got a right to get plain Cause now-a-days hip hop is no longer a movement It's a popular trend and everybody's doing it But nobody cares about the music Cats is type stupid, they always got excuses I'm short fused and my last nerve has been gone I've been bitter and it shows in my songs Most labels they just wanna sell records Most distributors have the wackest selling methods If you make music from heart it gets rejected But if you fit the industries standard, you make a hit This topics over-done, but I ain't done complaining yet I hope to reach somebody's mind before my verse ends Probably not, I'll probably end up fading away Unremembered like the rest of hip-hop {"Keep your eyes focused, you can't touch this I'm with it"} {"About a million brothers trying to be MC's in this world"} {"Sellout's got no worth, they better go soul search"} [Verse 2 - PackFM] My first memories of hip hop was pure and I felt it Now those glory days are long gone like the Celtics Wax coming out should be collected and melted It's like a p**no flick cause everybody's got a 12" It's impossible to sell sh** The game is saturated with cats who made it And had they're reputations fabricated The school of hard knocks, here's my diploma: graduated Paid my dues, here's my receipt, peep where the funds were allocated Too many times it's been stated that to make it you gotta sell out The window of opportunity opened, most n***a's fell out And landed in a pile of hypocrites that swore that once they got put on That they would start kickin' some different sh** but what they never realized Is once they sign the contract the duplicate carbon copy was a creative d**h certificate The point you're missing is the roll you playing is significant A label can't put bullsh** out if you refuse to give it in Complain about the music but you never really do sh** You're part of the problem if you have no solution Cats is going nowhere with their weak contribution You can only blame yourself, we don't need no excuses
