L-Tido - Letter To The Game lyrics

When I was young you were the voice of the streets But nowadays it seem you the spokesman for beefs I sense a lotta change in you since the cash came Since the politicians came inside you you've been past lame Awards became about the dab and not the merit Radio about deposits, not the hotheads It's safe to say you've been exploited in a major way And I can feel my love for you start to fade away And our connection's way deeper than a bath Yo when we touched, sh** was way more than just a f** Wish we can go back to when we were infatuated You used to unify the culture, now we're segregated I sense some tension between the OGs and youngins Fans turned to grit experts and comments Between the hating and critiquing there's a fine line f** the seasons, always shade on the time line It's evident that DJs forgot to play their role The only time they break records is when they play their own It's time we be more vocal, f** a ? And one request, can we hear more local in the club And rappers being innovative went down the drain Most this new sh** that's out really sounds the same But who am I to judge, that would be deceitful 'Cause I did play a part too, no sequel We got some problems we need to resolve Some pioneers stuck in the nineties need to learn to evolve And even though with all these faults I got a problem with You saved my life, I'd be dumb not to acknowledge it It's 'cause of you I became the man I am It's 'cause of you I got means to feed the fam It's 'cause of you I'm self made, don't need a hand Man I couldn't buy kicks, now I own a piece of land Look how far you took it when they ain't believe in you Now they probably understand what I seen in you You hot property like fire in a sheen venue Pull out for what, I'm gonna f**ing leave my seed in you This is deeper than the cheddar and the fame Sincerely yours L-Tido Letter to the game, yeah
