Corporate America
Solomon Childs Lyrics

Off the record I promote violence
I create and distribute music that glorifies and encourages violent behavior, but I don't want it to be publicly known.

Type of music that get you killed from the words that you muttered
My music is so intense and realistic that it can incite violent acts from listeners who take my lyrics too seriously.

Come across like a right cross, and you get head bunted
My rhymes hit hard like a boxer's punch, leaving you dizzy and confused.

I live amongst crimes and criminals
I come from a rough neighborhood where criminal activity is common, and I'm surrounded by people involved in illegal actions.

Subliminals who wanna be high powered & high blooded
The people around me are secretly ambitious and want to have wealth and status, even if it means breaking the law.

They say the jails is overflooded
The number of people being sent to prison is so high that the jails are overcrowded and unable to handle the amount of inmates.

From Honduras to the Florida Keys with key money
Drug trafficking is a widespread problem, with drugs being smuggled between Central America and the United States for profit.

Air tight Willie and me, here to distort
My associates and I are here to disrupt the status quo and take advantage of the system for personal gain.

And it's all in your voice money, and you laughing
My success in the music industry is determined by my voice and talent, and I find it amusing that I can make a living just by expressing my thoughts through music.

Or with this spice, I left my house in plasma rock
I left my home with a firearm or another weapon, ready to use violence if necessary.

This police kept me marshalls and cock blocked
The police prevented me from carrying out my plans by stopping me or arresting me.

Try'nna eat, I'm getting as fat as Jill Scott
I'm working hard to make money and become successful, but the stress and pressure is causing me to gain weight and neglect my health.

Compose the ghetto like I was Mozart
I have a unique talent for creating music that reflects the harsh realities of growing up in poverty and experiencing violence, just like how Mozart had an extraordinary talent for composing music.

Nuthing to gain.. you hear, that's how the drama start
Sometimes drama and violence occur for no apparent reason, and it's important to be aware of this fact and not provoke unnecessary conflict.

I'm De La Soul, watch me plug one
I'm a skilled rapper like the group De La Soul, and I'm about to start my verse.

Plug two, burgundy spots on my bulletproof
My bulletproof vest has been hit multiple times and has red stains from the blood of those who have tried to harm me.

Funeral time, pull out the black suits
It's time to attend a funeral, and everyone is dressed appropriately in black suits as a sign of respect.

Give it up for ratchet city, never met Fat Joe
I'm paying tribute to my hometown, which has a reputation for being a rough and dangerous place, and I've never personally met the rapper Fat Joe.

We thug affiliates official, blow up shop for shizzle
I'm affiliated with a group of people involved in criminal activity, and we're known for causing explosive destruction when we carry out our operations.

Won't have the Tyrone to miss you
If you cross us or try to stop us, we won't hesitate to harm or kill you.

I'm at the ultimate point of the game; money
My main goal is to make as much money as possible, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get it.

And it's funny; cuz music attract high rolling
It's ironic that my violent music attracts wealthy individuals who are drawn to the street life and danger that I rap about.

A&R's wonder why I spit so hard, look God, I'm broke
Record label executives wonder why I make such intense music, but the truth is, I'm struggling financially and need to make music that stands out and gets attention.

And momma had a stroke, and I'm a third time affendit
My mother suffered a serious medical condition, and I've been arrested and charged with a crime multiple times in the past.

Shorties think I'm a big spender, I tell 'em slow down
Young women are attracted to my perceived wealth and status, but I warn them not to get too wrapped up in it because things aren't always what they seem.

Lead your own life, because mines you wouldn't wanna enter
I caution others not to follow in my footsteps or try to copy my lifestyle, because it's a dangerous and difficult way to live.

Bullet holes in the front of my fender
There are visible signs of the violent lifestyle I lead, including bullet holes in the front of my car.

Jealousy, could beside cats in my projects
Envy and resentment are common in my neighborhood, and people are willing to harm or betray others in order to advance their own interests.

And I'm wondering if the God's next...
I'm afraid and uncertain about my own fate, and I wonder if I'll be the next person to suffer violence or death in my community.
