Velvet Rope Freestyle

The game is foul at both ends of it

There's no freedom of speech cause of this little thing that we call censorship

As if that don't narrow our content enough

We make it smaller, talking bout rims and shit

Getting jerked for the art, cause the art's now work

When you sitting start writing in penmanship

And now the radio's human, for it to fuck with

Now you gotta make friends with it

So I make some old radio crap

Since everything else on the radio's that

DJ spin this, maybe go plat

And if it don't play, they'll say he's so wack

I'm everything, controversial

Underground, gangsta rap, slash commercial

(I'm) introspective, (I'm) slash reflective

Call the shit whatever long as you get the message

Call the shit whatever long as it ain't neglected

Long as shit is respected, yeah

Wack dudes going hard to be nice

Nice dudes going hard to be wack, going hard for a plaque

Keep doing what you always did, keep getting what you always got

Joey always hot

And it may seem I ain't always On Top

But I am in more ways than I'm not

It's all twisted

Nowadays can't fail to make charts

Cause the stars made the sales now sales make the stars

Wish I could go back to the days of glory

It was all about music, less about the story

It's like a talk show, it's like one long episode of Maury

One long episode that bores me

It's like a talk show, more like a soap

Can't change the channel, can't find the remote

I call it pathetic, some find it as dope

Some call it hard, I find it all choch'

I find it to be a big screen full of smoke

Stay in it long enough, you guaranteed to choke
