Swizz Beatz - Hot 16 Audition (BET) lyrics

People these days are only influenced by the large stars Seen on tour, Their stuff in store, On the tv, And anything else more It's hard to compare your talents to their undeniable sk** They do it for a pa**ion; half of their fans think it's a will But I chill with action with looking up to people with me in the same position In the state of mind of being successful not using the money for hugging and kissing My wishes have gone into the wrong fountains 'Cause I've been grown around situations which make mountains out of molehills It k**s me to still search for real MC's but only find fakes My stomach aches when I find a real rapper but know he won't get past the jail gates It takes my mind time to design the prime location of a nation to get a large message out to the smallest of ears Trying to gain a career while giving a call to the people which only dolphins can pick up and hear Many tears come down faces when they don't grasp on their temptation for motivation but only have hesitation, while the mind only thinks about pa** recommendations Give me an opportunity I take and already fitting it to my own shape Make a change in my community but haven't put on the cape To all the people which are 'iffy to come to my side Plan B is to fix it with what can fix anything . . . duct tape
