Yeah
We got two sides to this mic
Listen close, it's a thin line to walk
Spitting bars, selling dreams, what’s the cost of fame?
They’re stacking paper, losing soul, it’s a dirty game
Flexing cash, designer clothes, but what’s beneath the thread?
Sold your story, lost your glory, left your conscience dead
Chasing streams, riding waves, forgot the art of flow
Autotune to hide the truth, but real ones always know
Flashy cars, empty bars, it’s all a masquerade
Beneath the bling, the hollow ring of music that they made
Two sides of the mic, one’s gold, one’s grime
One's chasing riches, other’s lost in time
Rhymes with no reason, beats with no heart
When did we forget what sets real rap apart?
Pop a bottle, hit the throttle, all the fame’s a race
They’re buying followers, trading morals, lost in cyberspace
Lyrics shallow, ego’s big, it’s a thin disguise
Count the numbers, lost their hunger, bought into the lies
Charting hits, but where’s the grit, the stories that we tell?
Fame’s a bubble, bound to trouble, it’s a hollow shell
Lost the struggle, sold the hustle, traded truth for gold
Forgot the roots, the raw pursuits, the legacy we hold
Two sides of the mic, one’s gold, one’s grime
One's chasing riches, other’s lost in time
Rhymes with no reason, beats with no heart
When did we forget what sets real rap apart?
It’s a tale of two cities, where’s the real and fake?
One side’s authentic, other’s bound to break
Lost the message, missed the essence, chasing fleeting fame
But real rap’s about the struggle, never just a name
Two sides of the mic, one’s gold, one’s grime
One's chasing riches, other’s lost in time
Rhymes with no reason, beats with no heart
When did we forget what sets real rap apart?
Yeah, two sides to this mic
Choose your path, make it right
