Lyrics
The cars and the clothes
It's overrated
Some ice in a watch
Its overrated
The song that they're playing
They're underrated
So don't get it twisted
This game's overrated
The cars and the clothes
It's overrated
Some ice in a watch
Its overrated
The song that they're playing
They're underrated
So don't get it twisted
This game's overrated
I came in this game at 15, I was under-educated
But still wasn't fascinated by these things that are underrated
I debated changing my rhymes just for the masses
Talking about the cash I'm stacking
Or talk about the Mack I'm packing or talk about the broads I'm tapping
Or talk about the cars I'm jacking
Could talk with a New York accent every time I'm rapping
But that just wouldn't be Mat and
That ain't me, so I hope you feel the truth in this
This music biz is like a game full of illusionists
Trying to trick you into purchasing that stupidness
And people keep on doing it, so its got me doing this
It's overrated, but luckily I've adapted
Won't change who I am just so I can get a dap quick
Rappers got me laughing like Iverson at practice
Basically my lips bomb with no chapstick
The cars and the clothes
It's overrated
Some ice in a watch
Its overrated
The song that they're playing
They're underrated
So don't get it twisted
This game's overrated
The cars and the clothes
It's overrated
Some ice in a watch
Its overrated
The song that they're playing
They're underrated
So don't get it twisted
This game's overrated
And nowadays, everybody wants to rhyme on a beat
Get rich off a song and say bye to the streets
Have a model in the sheets, pop a couple bottles every week
And pop shots at whoever's got beef
But that's so weak, rap is overrated
Too many wannabes wanna make it
Too many kids freestyling at parties when they're wasted
Please stick to drawing on sleeping people's faces
A lot of dudes get gassed in this music-ish
And they believe they can make it in the music biz
Drop out of school, 'cause they too cool for it
Get a nine-to-five and buy some jewels and kicks
And they claim that their money's from their music hits
But do your research, don't be fooled by this
They just following the trend what they pen is overrated
Hip hop is overpopulated and I hate it
The cars and the clothes
It's overrated
Some ice in a watch
Its overrated
The song that they're playing
They're underrated
So don't get it twisted
This game's overrated
The cars and the clothes
It's overrated
Some ice in a watch
Its overrated
The song that they're playing
They're underrated
So don't get it twisted
This game's overrated
I can't understand why you rate these lies
Giving props based on what you see with your eyes
If you close them for a second and just open your mind
You'll understand, I'm better than a lot of these guys
But yet I've done a few shows
Still underrated
Dropped a few albums
Still underrated
Working in a factory
My days get wasted
Excuse my aggravation
I'm just getting frustrated
Been putting in my time
Still underrated
I make my own beats
But I'm still underrated
So my advice to anyone trying to make it
It takes a lot of skill and a whole lot of patience
