I'm saying this with one voice    I'm not trying to express these views    With a bunch of extra tracks of me agreeing with myself      I'm not going to employ the mob mentality to try and sway your opinion   I'm going to hold up a mirror to the music garbage we've been swimming in   If this were the nation's general sentiment    Then this record would not have to be an independent      First and foremost you need to understand this   Hip hop is a lemon automobile built for short distance    It's not built to last unless you keep it behind glass   And if you do you may just find that   Without the overwhelming need for unity   In your low income community   Sampling one bar of an obscure record, looping it   And blurting out forced rhymes over it in 3 minute increments    Is not all that fresh   In fact, fresh is not all that fresh   In fact, it's played   In fact, without a catalyst, your battle is over   Your purpose is abridged, you are no longer a community   You are just a dot com   Get smacked for the BS ya been on   Still brandishing your sword but you never hit anyone   Because everyone is too bored to fight      Now, the sooner you realize this and sheathe your penis   The sooner we can get back to making music   I'm not trying to be a hypocrite; this is the only rap you get   'Cause I'm not gonna waste a whole record expressing what history proves to be blaringly obvious   Those that complain about MC overpopulation and co-opting of urban culture should consider this   It's a user-friendly medium   A paint-by-number   Discount madlibs   You just insert buzz words   Call that shit "adlib"   Now you have a story with so many holes   It sounds like a Wu Tang radio edit   But you have a pocket that's full of gold   So you will not regret it, but people will forget it   Your tattered Swiss cheese pile of repetition   "Roll for Dolo," "chickenheads," and "word is bond"   "My third eye," "my niggas," and "you know my steez"   And my personal favorite, "You faggot MCs"      It's great to see such a glaring example of bigotry    Be so ruthlessly overused in an art form    Founded by a race so plagued by racial slurs   That it had to employ them in order to diffuse them      It's great to see African Americans giving homosexuals   A people who are suffering similar prejudices    And blind hate the same opportunity    To assimilate its own branding terms      I especially like the part where you joke    About that whole "respect for women" crap    I would've thought you were serious    If I didn't hear you referring to whack MCs    As being "feminine" or "vaginal"    And holding stupid girl jobs like "actresses" or "nurses"    I agree whole-heartedly, girls are cool to dance and have sex with   But get them away from that M I C, puh-lease      It's not a coincidence that "hip hop" and “pop" A   re only separated by a few letters   Both of them are boring, self-affirming un-progress   Square tires in cement mud   Sound tracks for cemeteries   Form without art   Public address without message   A gathering of great mimes      I'm asking for a resurgence of melody and substance   I'm asking for American music to quit crowding itself   Jump out of the ditch   Challenge a listener   Motivate the youth to help themselves   Turn music from distraction to action   Life's too short to stay in 4/4   Hip hop is too stagnant to be doing what's been done before
