[Intro] Marink D what up, Von Pea what up, AD... [Verse 1: The Audible Doctor] I'm trying to make it bubble like soap and come out clean And all my friends like it's dope son you living your dreams But I don't have the heart to tell them, my hands hurt and swelling Cuz I gotta milk this b**h just to make enough cream And it's obscene how it don't spread like it used to Unless you're talking viral, cats be spreading my sickness via youtube But who knew the era would come where zeros and ones Would replace the raw material that made up these new tunes To make your song stick, not as easy as you think And bloggers telling me you only strong as your weakest link So I'mma rock with the cats who rock with me Cuz paper beat rock but rock will still be holding you down when the ship sink I'd rather be drowning in sounds that fit me Than floating along the top searching for props that will get me The right image to make all these kids pick me Really I never gave a f** as long as all ya'll with me yeah [Hook] This is for us by us, they don't support They illegally download and tell you that they bought This is for us by us, we stay strong They tell you they love the joint but don't know the name of the song This is for us by us, they don't support We press it slimline to get shine that's all we could afford This is for us by us, we stay proud We go to our own shows just to fill up the crowd [Verse 2: Von Pea] Von Pea, I'mma say my name until you know me And they stop treating a brother like....
