What goes on under the table, why you think your deal is so unstable?
 Now, whose the macaroni, A&R's acting phony
 Once you make the matrimony, then he start to slackin' don't he
 Or could it be the president that's being hesitant
 Playin' his artist like a corner workin' specimen
 And I ain't kidding you when I say it's political
 The way they make a ridicule of artists can be pitiful
 You know damn well there shouldn't be no company CO
 Trying to show me about rap that's 53 or so
 But yet and still they want to add advice, trying to keep their status right
 When they should be working records for Gladys Knight
 Who shape artists, man they catching rape charges
 Once you sign on the dotted line, they lead you in the blind
 Then you find, your state of revenue remains the same
 Cause you getting less points than Steve Kerr be getting in a game
 And just because it be too hardcore to judge it
 They won't even touch it, and get to frontin' on the budget
 When new artists come out, I can foresee the worst outcome
 Cause everybody I know got beat their first album
 So I took my contract to a lawyer so he can check it out (He don't know)
 Then I took it to Dionne Warwick so she can read my hand (She don't know)

 Chorus
 It's a shame, when artists gotta deal with cheats
 They got game, for every young rapper they see out on the streets
 You sign your name, they get like Big Red on the Five Heartbeats
 Now who the blame, when you starvin' and your record label eats

 Verse 2
 Preach brother
 They say the truth will set you free, but I see signs of treachery
 Go on perpetually, here's how they get you G
 They use the tricks, just to juice your mix
 But cross be in their heart like a vampire stabbed with a crucifix
 I had the enemy in my vicinity with the false identity
 Of a friend to me to injure me
 They ride along just to guide you wrong
 Play like they beside you strong, and start to faking moves like Olajuwon
 Who side you on, revealing all that low down dirty dealing
 I can see your skin peeling it changed like a chameleon
 First you believe in them, but once you disagree with them
 They try to get Magilla repertoire and that ain't even them
 And all those who has betrayed, be fast to fade
 Cause they cast a shade, with the masquerade
 What's dealt, is low blows below the belt
 Lord have mercy, I know how Julius Caesar must have felt
 I start to think back when I was just a youth
 I should have listened to the words of the God Born Truth
 He said, "look out for black snakes they all up in your cypher
 Black snakes you can't see therefore they sneak up and they bite ya'"
 They get to flippin' cause they think you slippin'
 So remember, don't get to slippin' cause they get to flippin'
 And trippin', what's that you grippin', beside your hippin'
 You think my heart is skippin', go save that game for Scottie Pippen

 Chorus
 It's a shame, to see how far left people be going
 They got game, to think that all this time you said you know them
 It ain't the same, Aah, so now you see the way they flowin'
 Now who they blame, ain't nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing

 Verse 3
 Now, wait a minute, I'm starting to see lotsa, hip-hop imposters
 Is rap a category at the Oscars?
 Too much Nino Brown up in your life
 Cause since then, man I done seen Wesley Snipes playin' a drag queen
 But yet and still you want to mimic the stars of cinema
 Pretending huh? So full of it they need an enema
 Cause see dig, they all like to talk big
 But then they want to renege, when there's a curling iron in their wig
 You talking loud and saying nothing, what's the world becoming?
 The frontin', now pay attention you may learn something
 Now, I ain't knocking you, but come on let's be logical
 You know that it's impossible to stop the unstoppable
 I would suggest that they, go back and check my resume
 Cause tunes that I made yesterday, can hang out with the best today
 Peace to Easy Mo, cause he makes the beats to flow
 And I grab the microphone and flip it like pizza dough

 Chorus
 Shame
 Now who the blame
 I need to be the Mayor, so I can change the things around here
 I need to be the Governor, I need to be the Governor
