[00:15.752]Yeah
[00:16.919]Yeah, I’m rapper but I’m losing my respect for the genre
[00:19.745]How many songs about Xanax and alcohol are we dropping?
[00:21.628]How many kids we gonna kill ‘for we admit it’s a problem?
[00:23.906]Probly stop if was one of our sons or one of our daughters
[00:26.116]We know our demographic is primarily youth
[00:28.242]We glorify breaking the law to children in school
[00:30.497]Kids copy what we say and imitate what we do
[00:32.789]They’ll go to jail for doing the things you told em was cool
[00:34.914]We put women in our videos, exploiting their bodies
[00:37.068]While little girls around the world look at they phone while they watch it
[00:39.682]They need a realistic role model, not just a Barbie
[00:41.813]They see strippers and escorts but no lawyers or doctors
[00:43.775]Hey Hip-Hop, what the hell happened?
[00:46.155]It was power to the people, and we liked that stuff
[00:48.455]These days you’re promoting thats it’s fun to be an addict, so I’m askin, how could you write that bruh?
[00:53.338]
[00:53.491]You can blame the rappers
[00:56.248]That you blow up
[00:58.211]But your favourite songs are about doing drugs
[01:02.694]So what happens after
[01:04.720]These kids grow up
[01:07.486]And who’s to blame for who they’ve become
[01:11.364]They made it look so cool
[01:14.211]To shoot those guns
[01:16.414]And hate the cops
[01:18.577]And to get too drunk
[01:20.647]You can’t blame the rappers
[01:23.309]When you show up
[01:25.350]And love the songs
[01:27.475]That make you dumb
[01:29.490]You can’t blame the rappers
[01:30.423]
[01:30.557]Yeah, making music privilege and choice
[01:32.704]And if you ever get to be successful
[01:34.228]You must understand the people that you influence
[01:36.439]I swear by what you're saying
[01:36.988]And that melodies and you sing make wings, building dreams, and fill voids
[01:40.047]We are medication straight through voice
[01:42.046]Some give life and some destroy
[01:44.114]And even though this money seems nice it can’t come so we must that as hint
[01:47.154]That there’s other things in life you should enjoy
[01:49.047]We move mountains
[01:49.871]We cross states
[01:50.892]We play roles in presidential debates
[01:52.940]So don’t you try and tell me making music is for fun and
[01:55.132]You don’t care about the things that our music help make
[01:57.153]Man I know I’m not perfect
[01:58.842]But I’ll change
[02:00.250]I’m the outcome of the worlds and my pain
[02:02.138]And this music is pills and I promise this dose that you take won’t make you sick
[02:06.113]
[02:06.206]You can blame the rappers
[02:09.069]That you blow up
[02:10.948]But your favourite songs are about doing drugs
[02:15.346]So what happens after
[02:18.154]These kids grow up
[02:20.296]And who’s to blame for who they’ve become

[02:43.887]Yeah, I’m a rapper but I swear that I’m embarrassed
[02:45.973]Half of these artists can’t even talk, they just mumble the lyrics
[02:48.289]And the teenagers listen while they rebel from their parents
[02:50.559]While the rappers tell ‘em pop a pill, buy Gucci and wear it
[02:52.818]This is screw the police, break the rules, smoke weed
[02:55.255]By some shoes you don’t need, rep the hood and yo street
[02:57.547]All these rappers holdin’ guns and now the kids want some
[02:59.746]Mess around and kill they homie, you can’t clean that blood
[03:01.991]We encourage being stupid with our music
[03:03.708]And we’re normalizing poor morals standard while do it
[03:06.451]Little boys see the way that the women look in our videos
[03:08.389]And assume it’s real-life, project that image on little girls
[03:10.923]It’s unrealistic, if you’re young and you listen
[03:13.044]You are one in a million, you are loved, you are different
[03:15.665]Hey Hip-Hop, I know life moves on
[03:17.618]But while I’m here, how could you write that, dawg?

[03:58.577]Dollar bills and poppin’ pills like party songs
[04:02.971]It’s not cool in real life
[04:07.512]Cheap thrills and goin’ till the morning comes
[04:12.067]See what that feels like
[04:15.279]
