[Intro] Yo. Dear hip hop. (Statik Selektah) Don't take this sh** too seriously y'all Yeah, sh** got me stressed out man. I know y'all stressed out too All y'all sick and tired of this bullsh** man "...his eyes said pray for me I'll do you one better and slay these n***as faithfully" [Verse One] I'm writing this with ether in the lungs And a burner to the brain So forgive me if the words come across a bit strange This a suicide note, last words to the game Nas was right, sh** got to change Unless we said B.I.G. died in vain And Pac died in vain Been too high on rims to see the writin' on the train How can Lupe complain? When his Fiasco, at a rap show to honor rap greats is too blame From rap music dying in a box, sales dying on the charts The art's missin', it's heart beat stopped Master P sold us out Talkin' 'bout I should stop saying "n***a" f** that! They bought this n***a out This is freedom of speech n***a The arson's in the house Burn your white house down with Bush twins on the couch I ain't come here to +Crank dat+ Joc or +Walk It Out+ Either I'm blind, or hip hop is dyin' in the south And I love Face, Bun B, Ca** and Goodie Mob But I miss +Scenario+, +Make 'Em Pay+ and +How To Rob+ New York is too blame Where I'm from, we look to New york for what's poppin' Now New York's droppin' And I'm talking everything No more cla**ic sh** No more +Shook Ones+ to blast in the whip Com, I Used To Love H.E.R. too, now I'm like f** this b**h Rap's old, new Grey Hairs sh** If this is what makes Mims Hot And this is why I'm not Put a bullet in my brain, bury me with 2pac Put a needle in my vein So I could ride next to Kurt Cobain Physical will die but the soul will remain Raps wack too many fake Eminems Too many white boys, dye there hair blond and try to rhyme like him Everybody wanna pick up the pen Try to get in the booth No motivation, you k**ing the youth Bill O'Reily don't respect Jay-Z in no suit You still a coon in they eyes I hope you soon realize Hip hop's aging and I'm at it's side Tryin' to aid through the ride f** this man [Outro] Don't get too offended y'all. Step your game up
