TERMANOLOGY - Welcome To The Machine lyrics

rate me

"You've been in the pipeline

Filling in time

Provided with toys and scouting for boys

You brought a guitar to punish your ma

You didn't like school

And you know you're nobody's fool"

"Welcome to the machine"

Ayo, what is a hit record, how is it defined

Is it designed from jump to be a big record

Or is there a big check to be collected

As directed, add the record, to rotation

Now it's playing, somebody paying, nobody saying

Somebody manager, somebody agent, somebody label

On the payrole, from the cradle

All I ever wanted to do was rap

But that don't bring pesos

Unless you make dough, doing payshows

And even that do not come by the pays slow

Unless you a slave on, somebody label

Major radio, major video

50 city tour, hope the tickets sold

How typical, yes cynical

They gotta you hush, just keep in touch

With your publicist, she gonna tell you what yo spit

Or your A & R, he gonna help you lay your bars

Politicly correct, or no check

Welcome

"Hi, I am your CEO, I am your friend"

It's funny how these rappers be thinking they're so hot

But they have no guap, they're my little robots

I am mister machine, you and I will make a team

And we will get ourselfs, I mean myself alot of cream

I'll get of anything, you'll be making me dumb funds

In other words I'll be porking you in your bum bum

You wanna get up out that ghetto that you come from

Well make a decision, and don't make it a dumb one

Think big, compromise your integrity

And I promise one day you'll become a celebrity

Trust me, I will never cross you like the letter "T"

Now do everything I tell you, and just let it be

I'll get you features and production from the bigshots

And you will forever in debt if your shit flops

Commercialized, don't try and save hip-hop

Matter fact, why don't you try something like Big Pop

Or Jay-Z, all the records fly up off the shelf

Just make sure that you sound like anybody, but yourself

It's just the nature of the buisness, don't be mad at it

Now a make hit before I drop you like a bad habbit
