Yeni Mezdeke Lyrics

My youngins get it fucked up when ya'll talk about the game
My younger colleagues misunderstand the music industry when you speak of it.

Like it's designed in their favor
They believe the industry is structured to benefit them.

Like it ain't outlined for them to waiver
They don't realize the industry is designed to exploit them.

Their rights for a lil' bit of fame
They willingly give away their rights in exchange for a small amount of fame.

Get in bullshit fights for a lil' name
They engage in meaningless conflicts to gain attention.

To get noticed by some niggas that don't give two fucks about you
They seek approval from people who don't care about them.

Tell 'em you don't do the jives and shucks, and they route you to the shelf
If you reject the industry's demands for a fake persona, they ignore you.

See there's no money in good health
The industry profits from selling negative experiences and content.

So they need you to be sick with it, ill content and delivery niggas
They require you to create negative content to be financially successful in the industry.

This nation thrives off misery niggas
The music industry and society benefit from profiting off negative experiences.

So if you ain't trying to let your hard times increase your wealth
If you don't use your negative experiences to create profitable content, you won't succeed.

Niggas keep that progressive shit to yourself
Avoid discussing progressive ideas if you want to make it in the industry.

This is the business of buying souls, and we only tryin' to fuck with those who trying to sell them
The industry buys people's souls and only works with those who are willing to sell them.

See, they may see me as an adversary 'cause they know I'm tryin' to tell them
The industry views me as an opponent because I am exposing the truth about the industry.

About the forest of artists who grow only to meet industry axes
There are many artists who become successful only to be eventually forced out by the industry.

How they take niggas dreams and write then off in their taxes
The industry profits off of taking people's dreams and then writing them off as tax losses.

Contracts is confusing, but don't worry they'll appoint you a lawyer for you whore you
Industry contracts are intentionally complicated, but they will give you a lawyer to represent you if you sell your soul.

Loan you funds to fuck your soul make you pay it back and still maintain control of your stroll
They lend you money, but in exchange you must compromise your artistic integrity and they will still maintain control of your career.

Your tracks and your hot ass slow flow
Your music, no matter how good or popular, is ultimately controlled by the industry.

they'll keep you looking good and all that, but no dough
They will make you popular and attractive to audiences, but you won't see much profit.

You see when that get a bitch, they got a bitch
Once the industry has control of you, they own you completely.

And contrary to popular opinion it ain't my sistas that switch
Women are not the ones that compromise their principles in the industry.

It's my brothers
Men are the ones who often sell out in the industry.

We the dumb motherfuckers
Men who sell out in the music industry are foolish.

Hardest niggas in the streets turned industry suckers
Men who were once streetwise and tough become weak and submissive once they enter the industry.

'cause we refused to do the knowledge
Because we are ignorant and refuse to learn about the industry.

Nigga, you can't learn this music game in the streets or in college
You can't learn how to succeed in the music industry through traditional means of education.

So you betta pick up a book or something
You should educate yourself on the music industry by reading books or other resources.

Or fuck it, FAB will put it in a hook or something
Otherwise, rely on artists like FAB to expose the truth about the industry to you.

Hope that you listen to it
I hope you pay attention to the message and warnings about the industry.

Got you pumpin' that poison while they paint them illusionary parades and keep pissin' through it
The industry continues to promote negative content while pretending to care about social issues.

You pussies don't know the price or the sacrifices that this industry makes real niggas walk
Those who sell out in the industry don't understand the true cost and consequences of their actions.
