I'm A Tell U
Kool Keith Lyrics

People! You're stuck in nineteen seventy-four
You are still using production methods and styles from long ago.

Witcha boring producers
Your producers are not creative and do not bring anything new to the table.

Your videos are boring, same girls singin
Your music videos are uninspired and feature the same generic singers.

Everybody tryin to be George Clinto and Jimi Hendrix wannabes
Everyone is copying the styles of these artists, without any originality.

I'm beyond that average cha cha, that trendy Southside music
I am not interested in conforming to trendy and unoriginal music styles.

People don't hate, just motivate
Rather than hate, I encourage people to improve and innovate their music.

You spent twenty years rappin about diamonds and Dom P
Your music for the last two decades has been nothing but shallow lyrics about material possessions and luxury.

Moet and bubbly, while you front your wife and girlfriend hug me
You may pretend to be faithful to your significant other, but you are still with other women behind their backs.

Studio gangsters lamp at Fort Lee
You act tough and aggressive in the studio, but in reality you are nothing but a poser.

With transexuals tryin to hide in secret spots in New Jersey
You engage in sexual encounters with transgender individuals in secret locations to avoid being discovered.

Cats pose in leased double-are's with two-way pagers
You rent expensive cars and use outdated communication devices to give the impression of wealth and power.

Frontin like you like women I seen you on your Motorola
You pretend to be interested in women, but I have seen you using your phone to plan encounters with men.

Typin the best places to meet up with Richard Simmons and Jack Lemmon
You are searching online for the best locations to meet up with male celebrities known for their homosexuality.

When you in Cali you hide in the Valley
When you are in California, you avoid the more popular and trendy locations and instead stay away from the spotlight in the Valley.

Rentin the Sheraton suites
You stay at the Sheraton hotel because it is not too expensive but still seems luxurious.

Callin young boys that look like Johnny Versace
You contact young men who resemble the fashion designer Johnny Versace.

To meet you at Miami Beach
You make arrangements to meet these young men at locations in Miami Beach.

You wear black all the time, you look wack all the time
Your style is predictable and unoriginal, and you fail to stand out in any way.

Got the nerve to try to pose with a girl, then spit a hard rhyme
You try to pretend to be interested in women, but it is clear that you are more focused on your music career.

Like you run the streets with thugs
You try to present yourself as a tough and dangerous individual, when in reality you have no actual involvement with criminal activity.

And move with brothers who do mad crime
You associate with individuals who are involved in criminal activity in order to give yourself a tougher reputation.

Take you out simple add a dim effect to your spotlight
To improve your music career, I suggest making simple changes to your performance to create a more atmospheric effect.

You think you hot right
You believe that your music is popular and successful, but in reality it lacks originality and substance.

Surround the tables got you kissin your bodyguards, holdin Cris'
You are trying to present an image of luxury and wealth by impressing others with expensive champagne and attention from bodyguards.

The last time I heard a guy called you a dude
Even among your own peers, you are not respected and are treated as a joke.

With a FUBU jacket said "excuse you miss"
Even your clothing choices are outdated and unoriginal, as evidenced by your FUBU jacket.

With his hair like Lil' Kim, contact lenses
This person even emulates a rapper's style by wearing contact lenses and hairstyle similar to Lil' Kim's.

Dapper Dan gear with ice on his wrist
This person wears expensive clothing and jewelry in an attempt to construct a persona of wealth and success.

Your hype man walk with a twist
Even your associate, who is meant to heighten excitement about your music, is unoriginal and uninteresting.

Just like the girls, you want a man that's rich
You are interested in dating men who are wealthy and successful, in order to gain status for yourself.

You want a guy to say come here BIZZITCH
You are willing to be disrespected by men if it means that they will give you attention and money.

Yo, you like the way celebrities fondle you and touch
You are attracted to celebrity figures who may show you sexual attention, despite any lack of true interest in you as a person.

You want to look onstage and stare at the crotch
Your interest in music is not genuine, but is instead focused on the sexual nature of the performances.

I know a type of guy like you that try like you
I am familiar with people like you who try to gain success through shallow and unoriginal means.

Wear lipstick and cry like you
Some of these people even wear makeup and are overly emotional in a way that seems forced.

Trendy guy like you with your man watchin Hendrix
Your attempts to be trendy and fashionable are unoriginal and superficial, as evidenced by your interest in Jimi Hendrix.

Look at the way your corny album was mixed
Your album has been produced in an uninteresting and uninspired way, lacking any originality.

That feminine stuff why'all put out was marketing tricks
Your music that employs feminine themes is not genuine or meaningful, but was created solely to appeal to a wider audience.

Clones with costumes step out of my dressin room
Imitators who copy my style and appearance have followed me into my private dressing room.

Duplicators break down the reel
People who try to copy and replicate my work only end up creating something that is inferior and of lower quality.

Your DJ funny style that makes it a trio
Your DJ is unprofessional and lacks any real skill or talent.

I don't care if you got a budget and per diem
Your wealth and financial resources are not important to me, as they do not indicate genuine talent or originality.

I saw you jockin Marilyn Manson in the Niko
You have tried to emulate the style and persona of Marilyn Manson, even in your choice of venue and social circle.

Your sound is outdated you network with a lot of people
You are not creating anything new or original, even as you try to make connections with others in the music industry.
