K-Rino - Soul Merchants lyrics

rate me

Yeah, we used to wake up fiending

To right words in between the paper's lines that had meaning

Seeking hood recognition fighting for physician

Being strengthened by the competition

But once the game started growing struggles came without us knowing

And the pain started showing

We took pride in intellect and skill

Now you gotta have some sex appeal to get a record deal

And if you did come correct they soon

Made ya change ya tune once they called you in that special room

They pimping you but you too weak to fight

Without your manhood I don't see how you can sleep at night

We the ones they tried to ruin

When we started spewing facts on what the government was doing

Somebody needs to break the street

'Cause Master got these fake gangsters sitting down to take a leak

Ha, you got a nice new credit car

A chain and a female purchased at the titty bar

Five million in your bank account

But a bunch of friends and family that you never think about

Just analyse how you looking dude

Don't even wanna feed the same folks who helped you cook the food

You chose money over pride, denied everybody

Locked in the internal courtship of the Illuminati

Then you blowed up over night

Did what you were told to do and wrote what you were told to write

But K-Rino was broke form the mould of dolomite

With no let go of my creative control in sight

Shoutout to Savage Mike and Paragon

I won't stop until the the whole world done heard Farrakhan

I keep my soul like Sarah Vaughan

We got got long wind, you like a fool with one lung in a marathon

Haha, you started climbing up the public ladder

Weeks after the Devil made you switch and change your subject matter

And if you buck they go the exta mile and swallow you

And start piling tonnes of propaganda just to silence you

Most people would say, "Hell no! "

When you ask them have you head of COINTELPRO

They out to murder any black who's formidable

You know why King was really killed? He started getting political

See, they don't mind you being famous

Until you start speaking God's language, then you're dangerous

And now he must be eliminated

After threats, 99% become intimidated

You turned your back on those who bled with ya

They out the picture now that Satan's in the bed with ya

We should catch you and cut your thumbs off

For selling out the hood when they threaten to cut your funds off
