Joe Budden - Velvet Rope Freestyle lyrics

The game is foul at both ends of it There's no freedom of speech cause of this little thing that we call censorship As if that don't narrow our content enough We make it smaller, talking bout rims and sh** Getting jerked for the art, cause the art's now work When you sitting start writing in penmanship And now the radio's human, for it to f** with Now you gotta make friends with it So I make some old radio crap Since everything else on the radio's that DJ spin this, maybe go plat And if it don't play, they'll say he's so wack I'm everything, controversial Underground, gangsta rap, slash commercial (I'm) introspective, (I'm) slash reflective Call the sh** whatever long as you get the message Call the sh** whatever long as it ain't neglected Long as sh** is respected, yeah Wack dudes going hard to be nice Nice dudes going hard to be wack, going hard for a plaque Keep doing what you always did, keep getting what you always got Joey always hot And it may seem I ain't always On Top But I am in more ways than I'm not It's all twisted Nowadays can't fail to make charts Cause the stars made the sales now sales make the stars Wish I could go back to the days of glory It was all about music, less about the story It's like a talk show, it's like one long episode of Maury One long episode that bores me It's like a talk show, more like a soap Can't change the channel, can't find the remote I call it pathetic, some find it as dope Some call it hard, I find it all choch' I find it to be a big screen full of smoke Stay in it long enough, you guaranteed to choke
