Shawn Mocey - Feedback (feat. Ruuu & Mikey Bonez) Lyrics

Listen, don't be mad when I say how I really feel
You just rhyming words together
And you ain't sayin' a thing

The world that has us feeling like we're nothin' to offer
Judge a book by its cover, how about check for the author
Mos said it best, our value's from the creator
They say cash rules it all, but it isn't what made you
Nah, but see they're trading people's lives for it
Givin' up their families, and their spirit, and their minds for it
It's gotta stop, and right now this is the time for it
I see the light, so I've gotta help it shine forward
I want them all to see
All my brothers and my sisters
I want them all with me
Get the family all together, make it all complete
And help 'em all to see the greatness
That we all can be
What can be bought, can be lost, but with love there's no stopping it
That's the difference between possession and accomplishment
So I'm not worried when I'll be earnin' the check
I'm just trying to live a life that preserves respect

Not here to start static, just giving them some feedback
Rappers got heart? Then the people need to see that
Keep it real for the kids, 'cause you know they need that
Got a hunger in their soul and you know we gotta feed that

I used to have dreams, yo, of makin' it big
Now the only dream I got is bein' around for my kids
I'm at an age that I really can't spit like you
I done past all the things that you still go through
I survived my old stupid, came up actin' a fool
But I've changed it all around and contemplate every move
I embrace my imperfections; i don't make an excuse
Accept me for who I am or you can all be excused
Life is too short to live by an expectation of you
Every day is a challenge just to walk in my shoes
But every obstacle I tackle got me feelin' brand new
I used to lash out 'til I pass out - "Oh, he just bein' Ruuu"
I learned to make the right decisions when I'm facing myself
I lost count of all the times I got back after I fell
The truth'll cut you like an incision when you're goin' through hell
But everything changed when I changed my vision of wealth
Not here to start static, just giving them some feedback
Rappers got heart? Then the people need to see that
Keep it real for the kids, 'cause you know they need that
Got a hunger in their soul and you know we gotta feed that

I do this music for the love and the passion, regardless
Anything you heard about my past, please disregard this
It's ain't about a front of who's rappin' the hardest
I was asked to do a track with two passionate artists
Since hip-hop has been in this disastrous hardship
It's only right that rappers are now havin' their card stripped
The genre's still alive as long as practice is constant
Cypher Circuit is the team, and it actually sponsors
Imagine a group of beasts, some actual monsters
Who don't charge forty a piece to pack out a concert
Push forward a culture that captures the mindset
Keep grippin' your pens, 'til your hands and your palms hurt
Stay sharp until you get the chance to have songs heard
You'll be fine; just keep track of rappin' imposters
Speak facts to heat tracks impactin' the genre
Need that feedback? I believe that's what the song's for

Not here to start static, just giving them some feedback
Rappers got heart? Then the people need to see that
Keep it real for the kids, 'cause you know they need that
Got a hunger in their soul and you know we gotta feed that

Cypher Circuit is the team, and it actually sponsors
What the mic's for
Contemplate every move
Tryin' to hit 'em with a heightened awareness
Change it all around and contemplate every move
Cypher Circuit is the team, and it actually sponsors
Keep it real
I don't make an excuse
Speak facts to heat tracks impactin' the genre
What the mic's for
Got me feelin' brand new
Tryin' to hit 'em with a heightened awareness
Speak facts to heat tracks impactin' the genre
What the mic's for
Got me feelin' brand new
