Elzhi - Pete Rock Shout lyrics

[Intro: Elzhi] Yeah This goes out to everybody that's trying to get on Think they gonna get rich Take notes, yo [Verse 1: Elzhi] Through the lights, camera and action Glamour, glitters and gold Here's a warning to anybody that considers this road Of riches, filled with j**elry, cars, and thirsty b**hes Crooked contracts, the close friends who switches Up on you when things go sour Around y'all It's called a downfall cause it brings more showers But don't forget the rain in the spring grows flowers That causes you to rise where a king shows power And it's not easy You got a measly one shot To be hot up in the game But over time it got sleazy Major labels wanna judge you off your last record Then design something you can sign, to f** your a** naked That can turn your 15 minutes into last seconds Take it from somebody with a past checkered as mine I was in a group around '99 But rappin' since eight, thought it was great To be finally signed But little did I know I made a huge mistake I found out the label and the manager was fake And the person that betrayed me the most was my partner Though all three would be the reason for my departure I'm thinking to myself "How you let them out smart ya?" Nobody warned me like I'm warning you Happy, aren't ya? But I'mma show'em That it was nice to know'em Or maybe I should ho 'em And throw them in the poem Cause they think that I'm below them Just wait until my sh** drop Cause I got a drive that don't slow down for pit stops And this one goes to my aspiring artists With the fire in their eyes To reach higher and farthest in the skies May every move you make be wise And may every mistake You can take and reprise You only get one shot It's not like you get three tries To rise like G5s And I'm out... [Outro: Elzhi] Yeah This is how it goes, yo Read between the lines Make sure your paperwork's straight, get your attorneys You don't wanna be like me yo Sign a bullsh** contract f** that Get your own For all my aspiring artists out there
