​tpk - I.M.U. lyrics

[Intro] Yeah I got something to say... About the industry... And how it's messed up What the f**? Has happened to it? Or was it always this way? I don't know... [Verse 1] I have to say that the industry is messed up Because everything in it is so corrupt Whether it's big or small, it's all connected To give off the illusion of this well respected Musical movement called hip-hop and rap They say it's authentic but it's all just an act It started off as art then it became commonplace Then they pillaged it now it's just a disgrace Lots of people being tricked into fighting each other Whatever happened to harmony? You've become s**ers Profiting from the definition of what's really real Paying big bucks based on what you think you feel But the artists don't get any of the bucks It goes high up to those corporate f**s Think you're making a difference than think again Cause the rap industry's f** up friend [Chorus] The Industry's Messed Up! Cold blooded and corrupt! The Industry's Messed Up! I mean like what the f**? The Industry's Messed Up! Cold blooded and corrupt! The Industry's Messed Up! I mean like what the f**? [Verse 2] New rap, old rap, who gives a crap? It was about having fun but since it's on the map It's become serious, hardcore downer sh** What you think drinking lean will make your songs a hit? What about crystal meth and adderall? Do you think that makes people listen to y'all

People talk about violence and hard times I listen to rap songs and they have the same rhymes Over who shot this, who f**ed this b**h How I got rich and how I use d** and sh** They talk about real but how real are you? If you talk too much then you're insecure dude Trying to perfect your self image and perception I made this song to be a lesson To people wanting to be or appreciating the culture Be aware that the whole industry is a hurdle [Chorus] The Industry's Messed Up! Cold blooded and corrupt! The Industry's Messed Up! I mean like what the f**? The Industry's Messed Up! Cold blooded and corrupt! The Industry's Messed Up! I mean like what the f**? [Verse 3] I remember a time when we were close We had a decent bond and we made the most Out of what we had, then there was a rift Between us and things turned into sh** I loved you from the start from the very first song I listed to all of your stuff, I never thought it was wrong In fact it was so right, so much so I saw the light Some say I'm trife for wanting to be in your life Even though my skin was pale and not very brown I proved to people that I was the one to be around With my witty freestyles and comprehensive knowledge And I ain't even attended cla**es at the college There was no way we'd be together forever You grew big and my ties you had to sever The industry's messed up, through and through But I can't help to say... I miss you
