Statik Selektah - Music Industry (Remix) lyrics

[Scratches]: "How far must you go to gain respect, ummm" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Show Business' [Verse One] [Termanology]: I ain't complain' about a label not signin' me I just got signed, my people like, "Finally." Took long enough but I ain't really sweat it I knew I'd get me the cheddar, pathetic the way we spend it Our relatives wouldn't let us invent a venomous record Instead they'd rather have us check in college and get accredited And then if we ever quit it I did it, stayed on my sh** it Delivered quality records regardless if they spin it Shout out to real DJ's who always held me down And let me get up on their show when I get in town Let me spit a 16 and play that hot sh** Cause they in love with that real hip hop sh** Not for the profits and run up in they pockets Jockin' all of these fly sick cats spittin' that nonsense Consequence reppin' N.Y.C. now Akrobatik he be reppin' for B now 5'9" he be reppin' for the D now Crooked I reppin' k**er Cali now Fizzy Wo' still reppin' M.O.P. now Termanology, I'll still k** you with a freestyle [Scratch Hook]: "DJ to DJ" "This is for all y'all" "It isn't easy" "Respect ummm" "Industry rule #4080, record company people are shady" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Show Business'
