What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
To some people rap is just a lot of manure
2
Others say the planet's sick and hip-hop is the cure
3
Some people say commercial rap isn't pure
4
But to me every rapper is an entrepreneur
5
You wanna make a difference? You wanna to make a living?
6
You wanna teach the children? You wanna make a million?
7
Either way, you gotta find a way to get their attention
8
And if you don't then no one's gonna listen
9
I know a few anti-capitalist rappers
10
Whose activism consists of selling anti-capitalist
11
Raps to their fans in fancy little packages
12
While ranting about how rap is cash-obsessed
13
Try to not give yourself an aneurism
14
Or get your panties twisted, just "˜cause your angst-ridden
15
Anti-business existentialism
16
Is just a strategy to get more fans to listen
17
It's like a jungle sometimes
18
It makes me wonder
19
How I keep from goin' under
20
It's like a jungle sometimes
21
It makes me wonder
22
How I feed my growin' hunger
23
You're gonna make a lotta mistakes
24
It's okay, you take a hit, you switch lanes
25
Competition is extreme
26
To get ahead you gotta switch
27
Every record gets the fans it deserves
28
Hip-hop is a business first
29
You wanna make a difference? Word
30
Then go find yourself some customers
31
A couple artists will hate this for sure
32
And say "success is just a curse"
33
Sour grapes get squished to syrup
34
C'mon, don't shoot the messenger
35
Hip-hop started in the streets
36
And then it spawned a whole industry
37
Sorry if I'm bein' indiscrete
38
But I'm in it for the spinach and it isn't just me
39
So if your songs are interest-free
40
Then I doubt they're gonna interest me
41
Integrity makes you poor? Interesting"¦
42
I pay for things that impress me
43
It's like a jungle sometimes
44
It makes me wonder
45
How I keep from goin' under
46
It's like a jungle sometimes
47
It makes me wonder
48
How I feed my growin' hunger
49
You're gonna make a lotta mistakes
50
It's okay, you take a hit, you switch lanes
51
Competition is extreme
52
To get ahead you gotta switch
53
Rappers are crabs in a bucket, just ask "˜em
54
They're stuck with a tiny fanbase that happens to love it
55
But they can't expand it without angering someone
56
I couldn't handle that, man, I had to do somethin'
57
Here's a business plan for you: self-promote
58
And grab onto some driftwood to help you float
59
And when you got enough, built yourself a boat
60
And fill it with like-minded folks to help you row
61
You got two choices, you do it yourself
62
Or you find somebody else with a use for your skills
63
You take the red pill or blue pill
64
Most businesses do fail, but you don't think you will?
65
I'm not tryin' to say you ain't different
66
But it takes creativity to change directions real quick
67
And go where the competition ain't headed
68
So if you get stuck in a single lane, switch it
69
It's like a jungle sometimes
70
It makes me wonder
71
How I keep from goin' under
72
It's like a jungle sometimes
73
It makes me wonder
74
How I feed my growin' hunger
75
You're gonna make a lotta mistakes
76
It's okay, you take a hit, you switch lanes
77
Competition is extreme
78
To get ahead you gotta switch
