[Intro: Classified] (Talking:)
Nowadays, everybody's always asking me
"Yo Class, what can I do to make it in this music game, man?"
[Hook: Classified]
(Step 1) Get your flow, come out of your shell
(Step 2) Learn the game and study it well
(Step 3) Go for self, not anyone else
(Step 4) If you wanna be heard, you gotta yell!
If you wanna make it in the music business
I wrote a couple steps that you all could follow
Gather all around, sit down and listen
And when it's time to go in, kid go all out
[Verse 1: Classified]
A lot of people be hitting me up
Trying to get into the game and mixing it up
Like, I got a name and I'm living it up
Don't think I'm living it up but I guess I'm getting my cut
(Step 1) Always stay faithful
And try to bring something new to the table
The game's tough and the world can be hateful
Prepare yourself cause that hate might break you
Look, a label won't make you
Just starting off? Don't worry about sending in your demo
Shit nowadays ain't nobody mail demos anyway
Gotta learn, value every penny saved
(Step 2), make your music timeless
Cause that'll live on after you gone in silence
Never run out of gas like driving a Hybrid
You in for the long haul, so mind your mileage
Now to make a record takes real talent
But after that's when you face a real challenge
That's when you see who's got the heart and the valence
And honestly, it's hard to find the right balance
You follow me? Good, now the record is done
And the pressure is on and the lessons to come
Now we separate one from the rest of the bunch
The test has begun (the test has begun)
