Termanology - The Music Industry lyrics

[Scratches]: "How far must you go to gain respect, ummm" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Show Business' [Verse One]: Before the internet intervened and the sales we expected to see overseas And the states and the regions we locked in a previous time We believe you can shine and exceed if you rhyme with a team And a rhyme and a beat that was fly on the scene you was liable to see And account full of G's that amount to the cheese You could count on the streets in a drought with them keys And they spit with a pa**ion, a mission of rappin' was gettin' it lastin' No Cris' in the gla** and no spittin' a rachet, a fistful of cash And now it's in a casket, I miss it, what happened? It's cold but it changed to a whole 'nother lane where the pros are the lames And the songs are the same and the labels are wack Cause we make all the tracks and they cake off of that I wish we could go back [Scratch Hook]: "From DJ to DJ" - DJ Shadow feat. Q-Tip 'Enuff' "This is for all y'all" - DJ Shadow feat. Q-Tip 'Enuff' "It isn't easy" - - DJ Shadow feat. Q-Tip 'Enuff' "Respect ummm" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Show Business' "Industry rule #4080, record company people are shady" - A Tribe Called Quest 'Show Business' [Verse Two]: This record here might never get play (Why?) Cause they won't make cheddar that way (Ahh) Radio ain't stretchin' my way (Nah) sh** man it's prolly better that way (Ha) So what about the club? What about the club? They don't play the sh** real hood cats love They ain't tryin' to see the east coast come back Now they snap and lean and do all-a-dat So what's hip hop? I don't know man I guess it's whatever the DJ's program Who in charge of that? Not the DJ He play whatever the list say he play So what you sayin' is that he ain't a DJ He's just doin' his job, that what he say Well I ain't mad at that, he just tryin' to get his bread I guess Nas was right, yo Hip Hops Dead Scratch Hook]: "From DJ to DJ" "This is for all y'all" "It isn't easy" "Respect ummm" "Industry rule #4080, record company people are shady" [Verse Three]: Yeah, wax turn into MP3s now Youtube is the MTV now Internet is the new magazines now Everybody wanna be an MC's now Robots is the new DJ's now Ain't nobody playin' what they wanna play now Everybody up on Myspace now Tryin' to lay their game down Tryin' to get a name now [Scratch Chorus]: "It's isn't easy" "All y'all" "How far must you got to gain respect ummm" "Industry rule #4080, record company people are shady" "This is for all y'all" "Shady"
