Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hate tellin' good people bad news
I hate, I hate
I hate tellin' good people bad news
[Verse 2]
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 artists were gettin' rich from rappin'?
Word to God, sum'n should give
Let's delete the politics so real Hip Hop can live
[Verse 3]
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?
Ay, dios mio, 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' for the llamas
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
[Verse 4]
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 artists were gettin' rich from rappin'?
Word to God, sum'n should give
Let's delete the politics so real Hip Hop can live
[Verse 5]
I hate tellin' good people bad news
I hate, I hate tellin' good people bad news
I hate tellin' good people bad news
