Joe Budden - Velvet Rope Freestyle lyrics

The game is foul at both ends of it
There's no freedom of speech cause of this
Little thing that we call censorship
As if that don't narrow our content enough
We make it smaller
Talking bout rims and shit
Getting jerked for the art
Cause the art's now work
When you sitting start writing in penmanship
And now the radio's human
For it to fuck with
Now you gotta make friends with it
So I make some old radio crap
Since everything else on the radio's that
DJ spin this, maybe go plat
And if it don't play
They'll say he's so wack
I'm everything, controversial
Underground, gangsta rap, slash commercial
(I'm) introspective (I'm) slash reflective
Call the shit whatever long as
You get the message
Call the shit whatever long
As it ain't neglected
Long as shit is respected, yeah
Wack dudes going hard to be nice
Nice dudes going hard to be wack
Going hard for a plaque
Keep doing what you always did
Keep getting what you always got
Joey always hot
And it may seem I ain't always On Top
But, I am in more ways than I'm not
It's all twisted
Nowadays can't fail to make charts
Cause the stars made the sales
Now sales make the stars
Wish I could go back to the days of glory
It was all about music, less about the story
It's like a talk show
It's like one long episode of Maury
One long episode that bores me
It's like a talk show, more like a soap
Can't change the channel
Can't find the remote
I call it pathetic, some find it as dope
Some call it hard, I find it all choch'
I find it to be a big screen full of smoke
Stay in it long enough
You guaranteed to choke
