Current Events

[Verse 1: Elbee Thrie]

Some record labels think like fart and it's retarded

How they tryna change the artist

Deep into recording they restarted

Like getting back what you asked for

Bad bartend [?]

Talented out the ass

We're not subjects to change

Music roll, float dirty like we just gave it AIDS

We just do our thing

I rap when I want to what I want

(I will sing)

Why can't I say what I want?

Because the label's tryna switch it up?

Well guess what? It's not going down

For the same reason J5 left Motown

As free slaves to the label they made epic music

Do your research, for real, they made epic music

Many came next, but with the legs to do it

Rather remain unsigned and change with the times

[Hook]

Keep up with the times

(Or watch as they go)

Unveil your blinded eyes

(Take a chance 'cause you never know)

It's time to realize that

We have our own minds that

Do what they want to do

[Verse 2:]

Back in this time to rap again

It's the young messiah trappin' 'em

Other cats just doing their thing, but I'm more passionate (Yeah)

Fire to a few, a match in some gas

Back when I was doing me

They was want me to do what they askin'

I ain't a sucker, I'm in love with good music

Especially if the fans bump to it

Huh, you think I'm stupid?

Thinking I'm gone sell out and let the fans down

I am original, that got me where I am now

A band now, Phony Ppl, rocking jam [?]

Sex education for those who don't understand now

How yet they try to label me explicit?

Not knowing there's a message in my lyrics

Reflection of my feelings

Real life sex and drug-dealin'

Chilling with loose triggers that look so unappealin'

Now tell me what's the difference: Phony or being Phony?

At least you got the chance to f*ckin' know me

[Hook]

Keep up with the times

(Or watch as they go)

Unveil your blinded eyes

(Take a chance 'cause you never know)

It's time to realize that

We have our own minds that

Do what they wanna do

[Verse 3:]

Too sexual for our demographic?

That's like saying that women aren't attractive

And listeners aren't looking at 'em

Hey kids, you wanna know where babies come from? (Where?)

When your mom cums

Nothin' to run from

Like we're supposed to be some political activists

And act as if Vanessa Hudgins doesn't leak nasty pics

Like execs don't promote subliminal interests

And Miley Cyrus doesn't take an incest for big checks (Ew)

Sorry to change your achy-breaky heart (Haha)

But what we're makin' isn't changin' just to make it to the charts and be famous

And have a name that everybody knows

What is knowin' my name if you don't feel us in your soul?

What's the form of expression when there's burdens on my chest

And can't say what I want?

According to the people watching us (Wow)

Shout out: I've got mad respect for Ralph

So for a second, I'll shut my mouth

I'm done

[Hook]

Keep up with the times

(Or watch as they go)

Unveil your blinded eyes

(Take a chance 'cause you never know)

It's time to realize that

We have our own minds that

Do what they wanna do
