To all you MC's, who don't already know this
Here's my word of advice, so take it as no diss
For your information, until it's further notice
I hope somebody quote this, too many brothers lose..

Now what's the use of rhymin when you can't, do what you feel
You ready to sacrifice and sign your life just to get a deal
They got you by the strings, when there's no creative control
Dollars amount to nuttin when your body don't have a soul
It's like, livin with no skeletal frame, you'd rather
settle for fame, and play the game instead of critical acclaim
To floss, gettin this cheese it's understandble, to live, suitable
But y'all forget that these monies is still recoupable
I know you got enough sense, to pay attention
No need to be a scholar to comprehend the facts about the dollar
You follow trends, you drive a Benz and don't know how to make ends
merge, and power surges knockin off your icebergs
Submerge into a slow death, the realm where you have no breath
You find yourself, by yourself, with nothin left
Holdin a bad hand, and swimmin in a pool of card sharks
Losin your record deal in all your reels you didn't top charts

To all you MC's, who don't already know this (FOCUS)
Here's my word of advice, so take it as no diss (FOCUS)
For your information, until it's further notice
I hope somebody quote this, too many brothers lose.. (FOCUS)

So catch my shutter speed, quick snapshot, my steadycam
get cheddar to make it better try to be a family man and
hold down the fort because they extort, before you know it
you in court, for takin this rap game as a sport (then play on)
So grab the joystick, and make sure that your voice thick
Be on point, it's not always the joint your boys pick so
later for the yes men, cause you the best man
Forget the world cause it be stressin, settle for nothin less than
Make sure you skills ain't nuttin to be tested in the pocket
Deep like Steve Young, don't let nobody intercept
or cockblock like contraceptives, industry STAY deceptive
Executive, decidin who they let live (so what gives?)
It's on you, the choice of who survivin
Cause once you sign, ain't no turnin back like skydivin
You live and you got clout, well here's a shout
Maintain balance with your talents
I take it pon myself to send this out

To all you MC's, who don't already know this (FOCUS)
Here's my word of advice, so take it as no diss (FOCUS)
