Jealousy, Kanye beat Produced by Ray Scavo
There are forces in play that have “The Rap Game” in a choke-hold
Sure, we create it but we don’t own it. We make it, but we don’t distribute it.
Am I being petty?/ Am I in my feelings already?
Am I jealous of them/ or are they jealous of me?/
Most are never ready/ to be the second coming of Machiavelli/
Thus/ missing the point/ of his philosophy/
Where you gain power/ and then maintain power/ and explain power/
To the next generation of Gs/
These emcees/ are in such a hurry to please/ it’s disgusting to me/
Let them tell it it’s jealousy/
I’m going to give you my opinion and you’re going to call it “hating”
Success when you’re prepared to do/
what they will not/
You can take that two ways/
if you are ready to rock/
And be like the king of pop/
And one way/
signature on the dot/
and go along with the plot/
It’s okay/ to rise to the top/
but it looks like you forgot/
Who’s got you in the tuck/
And does not give a fuck/
About your legacy/ and your integrity/
Are we stupid or what?/
The record company/
Just stole the property/
Of another Emcee/
You seem to be/
A pimp to your fans/
and a bottom bitch to me/
The other way/
Is know the price of fame/
Will turn you to a lame/
You could play/
The independent game/
And first build up your name/
Make them pay/
You got hot on your own/
You don’t need a bank loan/
That you repay?/
And when you free your mind/
And pay the fame no mind/
Not tempted by the fame/
Your morals didn’t change/
You never acted strange/
You are staying fit/
You are killing beats and killing rhymes/
crunches on inclines/
Too legit to quit/
Hammer/ in 96
But you’re a lyricist/
Knowing your worth in this bitch/
Am I being petty?/ Am I in my feelings already?
Am I jealous of them/ or are they jealous of me?/
Most are never ready/ to be the second coming of Machiavelli/
Thus/ missing the point/ of his philosophy/
Where you gain power/ and then maintain power/ and explain power/
To the next generation of Gs/
These emcees/ are in such a hurry to please/ it’s disgusting to me/
Let them tell it it’s jealousy ~
