I put the great Mother Nature on a pedestal.
She always fly, but today, she’s exceptional.

You would rather have a Lexus, or justice?
A dream, or some substance?
A Beamer, a necklace, or freedom?

MCs get a little bit of love and think they hot,
Talkin bout how much money they got…all y’all records sound the same.
I’m sick of that fake thug, R&B-rap scenario, all day on the radio,
Same scenes in the video, monotonous material.
…Y’all don’t hear me though:
These record labels slang our tapes like dope.
You can be next in line and signed, and still be writing rhymes and broke.
