Rap Game's Hijacked
ICE-T

Yeah, too many hardcore muthafuckas out here in this business

Ain't gettin' their proper loot

You know what I'm sayin'?

Check the technique


Everybody talkin' 'bout the way hip-hop ain't the same

Suckers kidnapped the game

I know the biggest in the business and no joke

Half of 'em broke and none of 'em smoke


I got into this hip-hop game

Just to try to get a girl and get some light-weight fame

There'd never been no cash made in it

So who thought you could get paid with it?


Just crash the club with my crew and then I'm outta there

Hit some skins, act bugged, that was a rap career

Then Run-D.M.C. jumped the fuck off

Got mad paid, word, kicked the bucks off


There wasn't many rappers out there rockin' the streets

When hip-hop was just cuts and beats

I seen Wildstyle dug the scene

I wanna be an MC, rock, rock on, know what I mean?


I started crashin' rap contests

Shootin' hardcore rhymes through wack MC's chests

I signed on the lines of a wack contract

Didn't even read it, fuck that


They gonna put my record out

I'm gonna be large, know what I'm talkin' about?

In the first two years I made about three hundred bucks

Yo, this business sucks


But I got another chance and I came correct

Got a lawyer and accountant, now my shit's legit

But many won't get no second chance

And get fucked in this biz without a kiss or a dance


The game is to exploit young ghetto kids

A straight pimp game and there ain't no shame

And the shit's gone too far

Hundred hip-hop labels with all white A&R's

The game's hijacked, the rap game's hijacked


Let me tell you how it happened


Now while every MC in the game

Was worryin' about a white boy gettin' the fame

They dug out the foundation

Now let me give a demonstration


Say, you got a dope group from the hood

Talkin' mad shit, like they're up to no good

You take 'em to a label

Now who sits behind the table?


Some Jewish muthafucka that don't know shit

Tryin' to tell y'all, what's a fuckin' street hit

The shit's way off course

It's like me tellin' Johnny Cash how to sing about his horse


You go on tour, the white agency says you're wild

Tone down your style

The radio jocks are all pop

So how the fuck this nigga know what shit to rock?


The shit that make your face turn green

Is when you get dissed by a kidnap magazine

I give a fuck about these muthafuckas

I'm doin' this jam to save my hip-hop brothers


Get your paperwork straight, kid

Get a lawyer and accountant just like I did

Don't blow your dough, 'cause you will see gs

But this game has no guarantees


Learn about publishin' points, so you won't be blind

Learn to read everything you sign

Then you might have a chance

If not, bend over, pull down your pants

The game's hijacked


Yo, the rap game's hijacked

I'm talkin' 'bout a hijack

The rap game's hijacked

Check it


You can go gold and still owe the record label cash

Yo, kid, check the math

Learn about the word 'recoup', troop

And stop walkin' 'round, all hyped and souped


You ain't nothin' but somethin' to be used and worked

You ain't nothin' but a sucker to be duped and jerked

'Cause the fuckin' record label don't love ya, pal

They didn't love ya on the street and don't love ya now


They're out to make an end, friend

'Cause every dollar you make, they damn near make ten

They'll take you for everything you got

Or else they'll sign you and they put on the shelf to rot


I'm tryin' to tell you what's up

You best to listen to this record even if you hate my fuckin' guts

'Cause I just can't stand around and watch rap get done

And my brothers ain't gettin' none


A nigga like me has gotta spit game

Nigga, get that cash flow, fuck that muthafuckin' fame

'Cause the white man's rippin' us off once again


Fool, the rap game's hijacked

You need to listen, nigga

The rap game's hijacked

Need to play this record about ten times


The rap game's hijacked

Black people don't own shit

The rap game's hijacked

Check it


R&B's hijacked

Black acting is hijacked

Just being black is hijacked


Nigga, stupid muthafuckas, they rippin' us off

You better get a end while the money's there, boy

Silly ass bitch, runnin' around with a gold chain

All niggas gotta get some real estate


Muthafucka, come up, fuck a bitch

Better get somethin' you can own, asshole

White man ain't givin' up shit

Word o' life


Although I got a white engineer

But he's gettin' minimum wage

So it's cool, yeah

Shit's been hijacked
