since napster the sales been crashin' and

since napster the game's been flooded by

has-beens and never-will-be

ringtone rappers

niggas buy ringers can't pay their bill though

thus contributing to ongoing credit

issues their issue's pathetic

hmm

what's the deal with these issues?

magazines who at times seem to misuse

my time with their half-witted reviews

and the blogger has their reviews in rear view

because he made his decision

a month prior when it

leak on the inter-net

so now the net sales quivers

the record sold slips and the drop is now immi-nent

yeah

what's the deal with the nets though

like being in the east ain't enough hell for 'em

two carters

i thought it'd get better but

they're getting rid of kidd

like a miscarriage

hmm

what's the deal with the dmv?

niggas is unifying as we speak

and as we speak niggas hatin' me

while they hate me

they sendin' beats for a fuckin' feature

i can tell you that this tape

collection of freestyles that i just want to make
