[DJ Kay Slay - Civilize the Culture Interlude lyrics]
Yo, man we in a serious crisis right now
Streets is dried up
Everyone's runnin' to the record industry to
Try and get a record deal
Unfortunately at this present time
It's more rappers than it's fans
Everybody's a rapper
Everybody wanna be in the spotlight
Man, I be meetin' some bad females
"Hey Slay, what's goin' on?"
"What's up, love?"
"When you gon' let me come on your show?"
"Come on your show to do what?"
You understand? Your best friend
He won't even purchase your album because
He rap too and he think he better than you
Not to mention there's not a
Record deal available for everyone
So what happens to the brothers and sisters
Who don't make it out here?
Where do they turn to?
Where do they go after the fact?
Kids is droppin' out of school
Quittin' their jobs
And basically ready to sell their
Soul to become a rapper
But what we really need right now
Are more doctors, lawyers, attorneys
And even judges not to mention
It don't even matter if
You're not talented anymore
The corporate cats just look
For popularity over talent
And that's why the level of ignorance is
So far beyond in the business
But keep in mind, i'm a strong believer
That everything revolves
Three hundred and sixty degrees
Just as the world spins on it's axis
And sooner or later
Hip-Hop will overcome this blind state
That it's currently in i'm not mad at anyone
For chasing their dreams
But, I was taught to be the
Best at my own talent
And not the worst at anyone else's
Streets is dried up
Everyone's runnin' to the record industry to
Try and get a record deal
Unfortunately at this present time
It's more rappers than it's fans
Everybody's a rapper
Everybody wanna be in the spotlight
Man, I be meetin' some bad females
"Hey Slay, what's goin' on?"
"What's up, love?"
"When you gon' let me come on your show?"
"Come on your show to do what?"
