Statik Selektah - Hypocrites lyrics

[Verse One]: Ayo rappers in the industry are some of the worst But I listen to Illmatic before I write any verse It hurts to hear these rappers say they used to sling crack But I couldn't leave my house without an ounce in my back Pack, going to school, lookin' out for my grades But now I'm droppin' out of college cause I feel like a slave To this game that we call life, workin' hard to be rich Workin' two jobs just to say the workin' man was a b**h And you material objects only make you inferior But I copped a 325 will leather interior Here we go again I'm holdin' hands with my girl When I used to say that marriage is the last thing in the world For me, you see we all believe in He But He's the one we curse when our knees get weak We're all hypocrites sh** I ain't one of a kind And I might hate the industry but I can't wait to get signed [Hook]: We're all hypocrites Rap is the worst When I came in second, always came in at first Never held a gat Got mad guns in my crib Smoke hurtin' my lungs Never puffed as a kid Never in jail $100,000 in bail Straight A's Every single cla** that I fail Sick of nothin' Tired of livin' in fear All this hypocritical sh** that you spit in my ear [Verse Two]: I say one thing And then I do the other Like play my girl, blame my pops cause he played my mother I know they want it I don't need the chronic or the gin and tonic To show that I'm honest, Hooked On Dom not Phonics Bunch of hip hop hypocrites That don't even give a sh** about their credibility My guess is that they're illiterate There's gotta be at least ten in the game Ten of the same motherf**ers, I ain't sayin' no names Studio gangsta Inside the booth you'll shank me Outside you thank me, the sh** gets me angry Listen B Dissin' me is riskin' your life explicitly Your style is synonymous with all your inconsistencies So next time you write, just write to write Write to fight, everything that's wrong in your life Just make it right Don't just make it happen I'm a hypocrite but not when it comes to rappin' One [Hook]: Hypocrites Rap is the worst When I came in second, always came in at first Never held a gat Got mad guns in my crib Smoke hurtin' my lungs Never puffed as a kid Never in jail $100,000 in bail Straight A's Every single cla** that I fail Sick of nothin' Tired of livin' in fear All this hypocritical sh** that you spit in my ear
