Yeah

Ugh

OK

Yeah, Ugh

Call me the hitman

It's kind of hard ain't it?

With most fear becoming the game

We became it

So I painted the masterpiece in this container

Is gotta lithograph so it was glass so frame it

The hitman

Say it again

The hitman

The hitman

Say it

Say it again

Say it

Some people say I'm extreme broadcast to beams

Live to the means

Screaming as Jimmmy Ivy

Corrupt as Don King

Boxed into the ghetto

To be the champion of bling

Industry is the arena the internet is the ring

You trained the artist from queens

Swing me at the fiends?

Def Jam supreme team the same thing

Except more it's more critical now

It's digital Cocaine

The goal is to control every individual brain

Like Cadillacs for contracts in the sixties

The contract 3-60

The trick?

Switch to degrees of 3 6s

You see who receives the riches

Which is the reason why they is only a few moguls

Clover the pioneer left in a chokehold

. Enough to make the individual .

Watching these old folks get fucked for their vocals

The hitman

It's kind of hard ain't it?

With most fear becoming the game

We became it

So I painted the masterpiece in this container

Is gotta lithograph so it was glass so frame it

The hitman

The hitman

The hitman

Say it again

If you are not performing felatio for radio rotation

What's the ratio for radio play at your station?

If you are not paying to play your record is dead

Puts a whole new spin on Radiohead

They gotta 1000 plays a week

We selling the same units

They put their best rep up

The couldn't stand next to it

People wanna relate they wanna connect to it

Here's a lyrical check

Is this enough for you to flex to it

Huh?

Or do you need more clues

Should I be more black

Would that change your view?

Should I dye my hair blonde should my eyes be blue

Just a couple more questions I mustered up for you

These are 11 inch shoes you can't fill those

I make headlines like corduroy pillows

And probably get banned from television and marketing

Targeted by music industry the politic provocative

The hitman

It's kind of hard ain't it?

With most fear becoming the game

We became it

So I painted the masterpiece in this container

Is gotta lithograph so it was glass so frame it

The hitman

Say it again

The hitman

The hitman

Say it again

Say it

The HIT-man

It's kinda hard

Let's release sex tapes so we can become stars

Nude photographs of tities and asses

Impress the masses

I thought she was supposed to be so passive

Now you just another ass in the air with an asterisk

Cell phone songs, you'l never be a classic

They call that remastering?

What does it have to be so drastic?

Chemical skin pill makes it sound more plastic

Follow the program man

Stick to the tactic

Twelve to eighteen

You know the demographic

These kids want popcorn

They want slapstick

Probably the chorus goes tisket, tasket

But I'm not willing to risk it mask it

This might take a couple of listens for you to grasp it

With the HIT--
