Core Audience Ras Kass

[talking/scratching]

Quiet down, quiet down..
Now listen, now listen..

[Verse 1]

Hip Hop!
?? to the bop perputratin' Left Eye
And the .22's, .45's, uzis, techs and 9's
But can you rhyme though?
Cuz niggas went overboard with straps and just subtract that
Most of 'em can barely rap worth jack shiiiit!
We all lick shots wit' unregistered burners
And at one time or another played Ike Turner
Ain't shit to be braggin' for ass backwards actors pack gats for show and tell
So they can sell and certify gold, chart billboard claimin' they killed more niggas
Underground hardcore. But far more mainstream than Hammer
Poppin' trunks, stuffin' pumps
And smokin' blunts sells more records than "Pumps & a Bump"
Violence is a new platinum gimmick
Call it the double cross crossover
A rose by any other name is "Seal"
You claimin' that you "represent the real niggas life"
But only represent it for a price
Cuz if next week the new fad was hiphop fags
You'd find a lot of hardcore niggas in DRAG
Shit is bad and we acknowledge this but at a certain point you only perpetuate it
So NEXT TIME you rhyme about physically buckin' somebody
[POW!] instead of "nigga" say "whiteboy"
And see how quick the devil PROTEST it
Wanna see yo' ass ARRESTED, your label wouldn't SUGGEST it
They say it's BEST if you stick to killin' niggas
O some 10-year old can claim he pimps ho's
Find his daddy's Glock 9 and give his sister a 2 inch hole
Between the eyes -- the influence is obvious
Music ain't supposed to be raisin' your kids but in 1995 it is
I know it is -- ?? goes from ghetto to gettin' mo' dough
But silly ass niggas need to know [need to know]
That before it makes dollars it must make sense
I kick my shit for the core audience
