Lyrics
0:00You are all
0:02We don't even come to see our own man
0:03Listen Freddy listen
0:05I said
0:06You know we had to depend upon black people to eat
0:09We would starve to death
0:10Everybody listen up
0:11You've been out there
0:11You on the bandstand
0:12You look out there
0:13What do you see
0:14You see Japanese you see you see
0:16West Germans
0:17You see Slobovic you know anything except our people man
0:20It makes no sense it incenses me that our own people
0:24Don't realize our own heritage our own culture
0:26This is our music
0:27That's bullsh*t
0:28Why
0:29That's all bullsh*t
0:30Everything
0:31Everything you just said is bullsh*t
0:34You're complaining about
0:35I'm talking about the audience
0:36That's right
0:37The people don't come because you grandiose motherf**kers don't play
0:39Sh*t that they like If you played the sh*t that they liked
0:42Then the people would come
0:43Simple as that
0:44Inevitably
0:45Hip hop records
0:46Are treated as though they are disposable
0:49They are not maximized as product in a
0:52In a not to mention as art
You are all We don't even come to see our own man Listen Freddy listen I said You know we had to depend upon black people to eat We would starve to death Everybody listen up You've been out there You on the bandstand You look out there What do you see You see Japanese you see you see West Germans You see Slobovic you know anything except our people man It makes no sense it incenses me that our own people Don't realize our own heritage our own culture This is our music That's bullsh*t Why That's all bullsh*t Everything Everything you just said is bullsh*t You're complaining about I'm talking about the audience That's right The people don't come because you grandiose motherf**kers don't play Sh*t that they like If you played the sh*t that they liked Then the people would come Simple as that Inevitably Hip hop records Are treated as though they are disposable They are not maximized as product in a In a not to mention as art
