F.H.H.
RJD2 feat. Jakki Lyrics

Keep tryin' to keep it real by keepin' it raw
Trying to maintain authenticity by staying true to oneself

While half of y'all still be keepin' it flaw
Many people still compromise their authenticity and produce subpar work

And all the real heads scream 'Fuck hip hop!'
Authentic individuals within the hip hop community express frustration towards the abundance of mediocre work

Until this mediocre bullshit stops
Until the prevalence of subpar work within the community decreases

Drug fiends let me show you the route
Addressing drug users, offering guidance

Who's that motherfucker still keepin the dope in the house?
Asking who still has drugs in their possession within their living space

It's Mota mouth. who? it's Mota mouth baby, it's Mota mouth
Introducing himself as the one who still has drugs

Whenever I write, I put myself out of place from other cats
When he writes, he creates work that sets himself apart from others within the hip hop community

So it don't sound like another brother's rap
To avoid sounding like work from someone else

I smother tracks with raw shit, niggas aren't able to bite
Creating unique, fresh content that others cannot replicate

What I bring to the table is height
He brings a higher level of quality to the table compared to others

Then I easily superceed, niggas need what I got
Easily surpassing others in the quality of his work

Reason I'm hot, there's no other raw season of pot
He is hot because there is no other work like his

While most motherfuckers follow the guidelines and hit by 101
Others follow a formulaic approach to creating work

Jakki the Mota mouth decides to have fun
Choosing to create work that is enjoyable and that doesn't follow strict guidelines

Not following rules, swallowing crews
Going against the norm and defeating others in the process

Son I toss cats off the stage, often I slay their soft raps
He easily defeats others when performing live, particularly those who create soft, mediocre work

To all you fake dictionary MCs, get off that
Calling out those who use overly complicated language in their work

Half of y'all don't understand your own rhymes and soft batch
Many people don't even understand their own work

They straight at open mics, we put them out on the street
Their work is only acceptable at open mic events and doesn't translate well to larger audiences

Take away their dope beat, let 'em rhyme and they weak
Without the backing of a good beat, their weaknesses become more apparent

And the mic can be a deceiving device
The microphone can make people sound better than they actually are

Muffle your rhymes so they ain't clear and concise
Intentionally making one's work harder to understand

Have niggas thinking you nice
Leading others to believe that the work is good when it really isn't

With battle I'll crack all your gear and all your wack raps
He will easily win battles and expose others' shortcomings

You can't be saved by your babbling or your backpack
No amount of excessive talking or trendy gear will save one from being exposed

Doing it for the love is great but you fake
Creating work out of passion is admirable, but creating fake, inauthentic work is not

And putting your shit out is a mistake nobody wants to make
Realizing the negative impact of releasing work that is not good

Hate when I go to open mics and I see everybody clapping
Being frustrated when people applaud bad work at open mic events

For some clown they don't understand
People are applauding work that is not good and they don't even realize it

Yet everybody acting like he dope because they believe he's hip hop
People are clinging to and accepting bad work because they believe it fits in with hip hop culture

y'all convincing me that most of y'all are brainwashed
People are convincing him that many within the hip hop community are brainwashed and accepting of bad work

Dug in old hip-hop history
Referencing the past of hip hop culture

Some cats are crap without their tracks 'cause they weak
Some people cannot create good work without the help of a backing track

I wish a nigga would say he listen to me for the beats
People should appreciate his work for more than just the backing track

Some got the nerve to say they dope when they spit
Some people have audacity to say they create good work

When even they family got a tape and they won't open the shit
Even the creator's own family doesn't want to listen to their work

I got a big mouth and I ain't scared to use it
He is unafraid to speak his mind

One person's key style allows everyone to abuse it
One popular style can be overused and abused by others

So what the fuckk is your definition of underground?
What individuals see as the meaning of 'underground' work

Depressing beats and bleak cats who love the sound
Some people believe 'underground' work must be depressing and created by individuals with little hope

Well I ain't part of that, I'm tired of rapper's garbage
He doesn't want to be associated with that kind of work and is tired of hearing it

I'm the part of the underground who only feels the raw shit
He creates 'underground' work that is raw and authentic

And I can take a nigga out regardless
He can defeat others regardless of their reputation

You can bring your hardest artists and I'll make 'em heartless
Even the most established artists can be defeated by him

Some say they lyrically this, or lyrically that
Some people label themselves as 'lyrical' but may not actually be

Throwing lyrical in every rap and they lyrically wack
Using the label of 'lyrical' does not make one's work actually good

And many cats rhyme over tracks nobody fiends for
Creating work that nobody really wants

Don't fuck around with me, if you can only fuck with keyboards
Challenging others who can only create good work with the help of technology

Just 'cause lazy niggas use recognisable material
The use of recognizable material does not equate to good work

Don't mean the dope samples are not original
Even if recognizable samples are used, they can still be used in a creative, original way

'Cause a producer with skill can lace tracks
A producer with talent can create good backing tracks

Keyboard beats aren't that original, lets face facts
Creating only using a keyboard isn't that original

That shit was overused in the G-funk era
Keyboard beats were very prevalent during the G-funk era of hip hop

Don't give me that excuse, real MCs want better
Aspiring for better work than what has been overused in the past

You rhyme over enough shit, most get away with murder
Many use the same backing tracks and get away with creating mediocre work

Like kids who think they words rhyme 'cause they the suffix
Those who think their work rhymes just because of the suffix used

Must bitch niggas be fragile with facts
Some people are very sensitive when it comes to their work being critiqued

You bragging 'bout who you battled, but who you battled was crap
Boasting about defeating someone who creates bad work

What you angry for, and acting all tense
Asking why someone is becoming upset and defensive

If you innocent be cool, only the guilty's catching offense
If someone is innocent, there is no reason to become upset and defensive

It's Mota mouth. who? it's Mota mouth baby, it's Mota mouth
Reintroducing himself at the end of the song
