Xenic - The Industry Lyrics

There's a few things I've learned from watching the game afar
You got money chasers, tension seekers, then you got the stars
Prolly 9 out of 10 of them popping or behind bars
What it take to make it out, What it take to break the charts
Seems the goal in this game really ain't what they make it seem
You got people chasing trends, favorite artist drinking lean
Had to pop a pill to kick it, ain't a party without beans
You see I ain't really wit it, so I guess I'll make a scene
See, certain lines I don't cross them
I'm an artist I draw them
Labels saying, we got them
Not with me, imma problem
Industry demons and goblins
Chasing rings like they Gollum
I had to start from the bottom
And yet I'm still gonna top them
Got to stay true to the core
The light is never ignored
But most will catch me on a zenith
Not after or before
But ain't nobody really seen this
I can't take anymore
Man I wish it all was seamless
What we doin this for
Like, what are we doing this for
Artist Acting different just to get a chance at promotion
No emotions, industry spells & potions in the open
If you're chosen, you're the image that they want
You're a token, then they own him
Kill them off, and paint the picture how the want
It's cold shit, I'm my own shit
Industry's a bunch of lies, so I shifted focus
For a moment, shit is bogus
If the game is wack then I'll go get, motion
Make my own shit, an explosion
I'm playing chess, You play checkers
You chase the fame I could never
You can't keep yo shit together
The shit I make is forever
They say my rhymes hella clever
They say that you can do better
My music always endeavors
You and your fans have been severed
Why are these the artists that the industries pushinh
Real talent they're overlooking
You talk bout' pussy, you cooking
Why are these the topics that the industry favors
Hip hop is losing its flavor
I want to be one of its saviors
I want to be one of its saviors
Many more than just a few things that I've seen afar
People praising politicians, glorifying stars
Out late every evening, chasing pussy in bars
What they want is indulgence, to me that shit is bizarre
See the goal of the elite isn't all what it seems
They keep us all divided, when all of us on a team
Then keeping us all excited with shit we see on our screens
Babylon truly has started, time to end off scene one like cut
