Protect Yourself

Got a vision, got a dream

Got a living to make

I Got the munchies and craving for a piece of the cake

A piece of the pie, The industry will eat you up

And spit you out

If you don’t know about, the inner workings of the game

Man the business had me tripping thought,

All I have to do was write the lyrics and the sentences

And that will probably get me to the money and the riches

But I was 16, so you would’ve had to pardon my naiveté

(Hey)

We in the belly of the beast and Lucy always present

With the pen and the contract

You don’t read, simply cause the prospect of your dreams

Becoming a reality is overwhelming

So you sign without thinking

(Sign without thinking)

Label gives you everything you want

(Everything you want)

All except the money

(All except the money)

But now we see that you’re a star

You got to protect yourself

Hmmmm

You got to protect yourself

Hmmmm

You got to protect yourself

Wealth ain’t shit without health Shit is funny

Cigarillos on my breath got my voice all hazy

Black Lungs black lips fast food quick flings

Cognac sipping Mary Jane sitting with me

The baddest of the baddest

With the fattest of the asses

Fill my glass up as I pass up on

Any opportunity to exercise, I exercise my mind

But it’s all about balance

See most of my habits I got

Because of my talent

(Talent)(Talent)(Talent)

Every action has a reaction

My reaction to the fact that I’ve got a passion

Has resulted in my

(Resulted in your)

Consumption of narcotics and depletion of my

(Depletion of your)

Energy physically mentally

(Woah)

But it’s twisted cause I love it

And this music gives me life

I just gotta do it right
