No major label power moves

No costumes

No broad on the album with a fat ass

No wardrobe malfunction

No power luncheons


This is it, no limits, no gimmicks


No slogans

No 20 inch rims rollin

No gold fronts

No publicity stunts

No make believe beef

No shoot-outs in the streets


This is it, no limits, no gimmicks


No MTV cribs, no crib at all

No outta shape fat boys telling you how to ball

No pimpin the ride, no ride to pimp


This is it, no limits, no gimmicks


No midgets on stage

No daytime play

No payin for a radio slot

No suckin up to the press just so they'll say this record's hot


I like how you blend in

Your music's so safe

Why go against the grain

when you can fit perfectly with everything today

Here, let me put you in a box

Bein independent must really suck

Is that all you really want?

It can't be enough to just do it for the love


No crunk music

No funk music

No contemporary hip-hop/jazz fusion

No collabels with wack people who feel what we do


And this is it, no limits, no gimmicks


No mix cds

No pornographic DVD's

No monkey see monkey do

No dick ridin other crews to get a W


This is it, no limits, no gimmicks


No overbearing hype man

No ghostwritin

No A&R getting more shine than I am

No callin women bitches just to prove that I'm a man


This is it, no limits, no gimmicks


No throwback jersey hangin to my knees

No doo-rags

No white tees

Just the best producer and the best emcee


This is it, no limits, no gimmicks


I like how you blend in

Your music's so safe

Why go against the grain

when you can fit perfectly with everything today

Here, let me put you in a box

Bein independent must really suck

Is that all you really want?

It can't be enough to just do it for the love
