I aint Christ, but the zeitgeist is fucked up
Aspiring young musicians and you know who gets puffed up?
Rappers talking about "guess who just got they life took?"
If thats our current chapter I aint reading the right book
Name me a top musician who aint even at least
Got a feature from a known killer, had it released
Shit you got one? Aint that a relief
It seems like all the music now is about the violence and beef
Its fucked up swear to god I saw a man get killed
By a young kid from South Philly only wanted a deal
He got it cause the 'drill shit' proved he was real
But you need two murders if you want that national appeal
And we like to pretend art don't influence the culture
But look around at all the bloodsuckers and vultures
Gangs and young killers, when will we get our town back?
You're telling me it aint easier killing to a soundtrack?
We had these things before but its a different thing
Because a friend group and a gang now be acting the same
We let it inspire our youth and please dont get me started
About the kids buying booty shorts with Mom at the Target
Cause Cardi B does it, in Mcdonalds on TV
She is rich and famous and nobody can see me
Lawyer in the corner "Nobody wants to be me?"
Because we influenced a generation to kill in the street, see?
Last week I saw a man get killed for the second time and
Thats when I decided it was time to stop rhyming.
