It's Over

See the industry's asleep It's coiled up in the sheets With no idea of what's really going on in the streets Musicians afraid and claiming they're being discreet But I understand no shows at Christmas, you no go eat I came to plant the seed that grows a tree of bittersweets Awards are trash that's why some artistes just keep taking sweeps Promoters tryna get rich and stay scheming But as long as I'm breathing I'm doing this for one reason Our music ain't evolving Our lyrics ain't involving What we do is celebrate mediocre recordings Miming and performing Standing on stage doing the same things And we ask why the fans aren't amazed? It's pitiful how we compare our music to Nigerians We can't even sell CDs in our on area Money ain't my problem I refuse to be broke Like R2Bees Walahi I swear I'll forever be dope And the truth will be exposed In all the words that I wrote I know it cuts all of the guilty parties Like knives to their throats So listen, better know that GH has a hope A black star, a black sun And y'all already know When the fat lady sings Then they think that it is over But this is the beginning I was born to be a soldier Hip Hop on my shoulder Beyond the rhymes We are the culture And I say it ain't over till it's over When the fat lady sings Then they think that it is over But this is the beginning I was born to be a soldier Hip Hop on my shoulder Coming harder than boulders I told ya I say it ain't over till it's over They say Hip Hop no get future They say dog Hip Hop producers They say do some Azonto make we take dance and drink some booze Ah! But they listen to Jay - Z, Drake, Wayne and Baby They either tryna clown me or they're just getting crazy Lyricism is the art of expression Using the phonetic repetition that when you listen leaves you breathless Yes! Yes! I know I'm the best versed on the flow As the rest stress over shows I'm doing biz getting dough Success breeds enemies So every percent of me is focused on my hustle And how to be a better C Really though I've never been ridiculed Never felt miniscule I'm just a giant taking leaps in life ahead of you One, Two, Mic check When I come through I rep Mixdown Direct! Wanna eye red I swear So better let go Of the mind set That Hip Hop will not grow Cos when I grab a microphone I leave your mind blown When the fat lady sings Then they think that it is over But this is the beginning I was born to be a soldier Hip Hop on my shoulder Beyond the rhymes We are the culture And I say it ain't over till it's over When the fat lady sings Then they think that it is over But this is the beginning I was born to be a soldier Hip Hop on my shoulder Coming harder than boulders I told ya I say it ain't over till it's over In the first third of my life, I've been to university twice So when it comes to mind games I'm rocking the veteran stripes Not amazed by the fame and the distraction of lights As they flash in the night Cos I can achieve whatever I like All I need is for you to agree and believe That we can achieve more than the industry has degraded us to believe It's not just hooks and the tempo Banging instrumentals or the slogans that we repeat in the clubs that we get into You see we're playing for keeps It's not a rental or lease The price is detrimental At least nothing is free Eventually we'll pay the price for mediocrity And it will not be me Living a life of a forgotten odyssey So let these words sludge and merge on your mind As the third verses unearth And I'm speeding leaving all the dirt just behind I'm always back on the right path Like I just left It's still the Red, Gold, Green That's what I'm always gon rep When the fat lady sings Then they think that it is over But this is the beginning I was born to be a soldier Hip Hop on my shoulder Beyond the rhymes We are the culture And I say it ain't over till it's over When the fat lady sings Then they think that it is over But this is the beginning I was born to be a soldier Hip Hop on my shoulder Coming harder than boulders I told ya I say it ain't over till it's over
