Learn the lesson, before you plan your career Commercial or underground, where Do you fit, cause BOTH sides write hits And all is rap, I'll admit But what I've come to EXPLAIN Is that these people LOVE to play a game They wanna make it seem like YOU'RE WRONG For writin the reality song (Don't touch those issues, don't talk about dat We don't take knowledge rap) What? They want you on their bases Cause if you bring out the brown, you're racist But if you bring out the pink, well wait, it's OK Yeah, they won't stop it I guess it's alright to act demonic I guess it's alright to act demonic But that's another chapter, in another book I've come to show a different look And that look is the WHOLE of rap Not just the commercial pap But the UNDERGROUND, that RAW ghetto sound From which rap music was found So you can't deny it, you cannot refuse it I'll be rockin that GHETTO MUSIC People keep tellin me, "Kris!
