bad name

Singer:gang starr

i hate tellin' good people bad news

i hate

i hate

i hate tellin' good people bad news

word to god if big and pac were still here

some of these weirdos wouldn't act so cavalier

we all know that the game has changed

it's crazy out here rap's got a bad name

think about it

what if bling never happened

and the true artist's were gettin' rich from rappin'?

word to god sum'n should give

let's delete the politics so real hip hop can live

beef is what's up now

careers are gettin' shut down

the media wants something meaty

people are fuckin' greedy

music and culture's like a foreign language

you'd be better off staging a fake beef in spanglish

compadre

can you handle the whole weight?

adios mios watch 'em swallow your whole plate

you used to support your fam offa this

now you can't even buy spam offa this

and i don't deal with swine

i ain't dr. phil

i truly help you heal your mind

nowadays it's like everybody's losin' it

instead of them preserving this gift they're all abusing it

it's mad drama

they want us reachin' with the limas

causin' hysteria

the new hip hop criteria

and they forgot about the blood

sweat and tears

now we see the results of all the blunts

chicks and beers

word to god if big and pac were still here

some of these weirdos wouldn't act so cavalier

we all know that the game has changed

it's crazy out here rap's got a bad name

think about it

want if bling never happened

and the true artist's were gettin' rich from rappin'?

word to god sum'n should give

let's delete the politics so real hip hop can live

i hate tellin' good people bad news

i hate

i hate tellin' good people bad news

i hate tellin' good people bad news
