How you see exactly what they did to Prince and be like, yeah, let me sign that shit
How you see exactly what they did to Wayne and be like, yeah, let me sign that thang
You want the stardom but you don't know bout the life that it bring
Niggas sign away they soul and they advance is a chain
So how you see exactly what they did to Prince and be like, fuck it, nigga give me a pen
I seen a interview of a nigga who blew up locally
They promised him some paper and to take him globally
Don't know each other but I know that nigga spoke to me
He said he never shoulda signed, and it wasn't jokingly
Got me fucked up if you think you might convince
Khali to give his masters up for 15 percent
I rather be broke than to fall for that shit
Cause it's rappers getting fucked by they labels wit consent
It's predatory
Straight exploitation I hope you ready for it
Can't even move in your city cause you be paranoid
Cause niggas watching you, they really think you that important
Don't even know your label made you give your song to a bigger label mate
And they probably didn't pay you for it
Niggas be signing contracts wit they label lawyers
I know hell of a stories, and they very gory
How you see what niggas did to TLC and be like, yeah, imma sign for free
How you see what happened to NWA and be like, shit, where do I sign my name?
You want the stardom but you don't know bout the life that it bring
Niggas sign away they soul and they advance ain't a thang
So how you see exactly what they did to Prince and be like, fuck it, nigga give me a pen
