Uh, I heard the baby monitor go off
I gotta check up on the cradle

I gotta pick up all my babies
My fault, I let 'em listen to the lies

They're following them pages

I'm going through it for the culture, man
I'm going through it with the label
I'm going through it with the vultures tryna
take all the money off the tablе
I spent hundreds of thousands
just to make it right and niggas just turnеd ungrateful
It was all cool when Dad was winning

I used to protect them from the grillings

The game was a trap, I tried to tell 'em
how many times? Thirty million
They wanna sign, mmcht, now look how it looks
They wanna sign to the crooks, huh
turn back time, I wish I could, uh
We was all stars in the hood

Now you're just numbers on a book

How comes the thought ain't hit you?
Ain't realised Spotify tricked you
This game ain't a skill issue
the blogs and the brands on residual
Your monthly listeners going up
but tell me why the money miss you?
I could cry a river, but £0. 0 won't buy a tissue
Yeah, I can talk like this 'cause I'm ten years in

Hm, sign of the cross when you see me, pussy

'Cause I tried to fly us in together, I realized— phew, huh
I tried to fly us in together
realised we ain't the same feather
Uh, you know, when they see a eagle
of course the pigeons get jealous
I tried to build a nest for all of us to eat
how we end up with eleven?
Uh, I gotta take accountability
'cause I was tryna fund it from America
I was tryna fund it from The States
built a imprint, and then they told me, "Wait"
Uh, they made a promise to me then
it weren't right when the offer finally came
Uh, I put my own bread up just to get YT, but I was too late
My man slimed me out for my lil' bros
I ain't gonna say his name
Tch, I ain't gonna say his name, you know what I'm saying?
'Cause that's not gangster
How you gonna cruise on a ship, huh
when I'm the whole anchor?
All my boys turnt men but forgetting

Huh, I just told Cadell, "Let's talk about it, man

Huh, shit be gettin' sticky, dog

They said I lost my fire, dog, huh

Huh, they think a nigga falling off, first degree

Huh, before you disrespect the house
you gotta pay the mortgage off
Huh, I don't want a homage, cuz

Numbers never got me to the throne

Jubilee-ass niggas, please stop fuckin' with a Tourbillion

Hahaha
See what I'm sayin'? See what I'm sayin'?
See what I'm sayin'? See what I'm sayin'?
This is very important, because
Throughout the years, Black artists
have been taken advantage of, completely
And it's time now that we have
to put a stop to this incredible, incredible injustice
And like, uh, like, um, what Al Sharpton was saying
People from James Brown to Sammy Davis Jr
Some of the real pioneers that, uh
that inspired me to be the entertainer that I am
These artists are always on tour
because if they stopped touring they would totally go broke
And, uh, it's been— the record companies really
really do conspire against their artists
They steal, they cheat, they do whatever they can
