letra de the industry - gerald synik mugwenhi

[intro:]
the h-ll?

[verse:]
what’s your business and how did you get my digits?

you already know mr. mugwenhi or should i say ‘synik’?
we’ve been watching you since the beta version created shockwaves
didn’t do anything for a while, so we lost your trace
came back with singles, a couple of guest features
made a name in the cyphers with some of the best spitters
we’d be blind if we didn’t recognise your potential
exhibited the power to move crowds with your pencil
dropped syn city and we knew it was time
we always looking for the gifted with unusual minds

so you can use me as p-wn to poison my own people?
recording to misinform them, endorsing a false ethos?
was never trying to gain fame and wealth through my craft
knew the sacrifice came with the path
but i walked the road in order to follow a higher calling
so i’m all in if it’s for giving hope to the fallen

[chorus:]
we can give you everything you want
(the money, the power, the fame)
we are the industry
we can give you everything you want
(the women, the drugs, the game)
we are the industry
we can give you everything you want
(the finest things)
we can give you everything you want
(private planes)
we can give you everything you want
(so what you saying?)
we can give you everything you want
[verse:]
didn’t you win those awards when your album was released?
branded a ‘beast’, your name was the hottest on the streets
when they were asking you for features, sending you trap beats
you was on your ‘yeah, i’m rapping bout life’ and acting deep
wake the h-ll up! mr. ‘i don’t rap explicit’
won’t say the n word but you’re black, i don’t get it
you’re fake righteous, a joke. you’re so performative woke
i’m tryna make you rich but you just tryna stay broke
secretly you’re envious seeing people you despise
n0body listens to you who the h-ll do you inspire?
see you on tweets acting like you droppin’ knowledge
but you ain’t no scholar, did you even finish college?
the soulst–z, please! that thing was lame
you stuck in the 90s, it’s a whole different game
you already getting old, it’s the bottom of the 9th
you gon die on soundcloud if you don’t sign the dotted line, you punk!

[chorus:]
we can give you everything you want
(the money, the power, the fame)
we are the industry
we can give you everything you want
(the women, the drugs, the game)
we are the industry
we can give you everything you want
(the finest things)
we can give you everything you want
(private planes)
we can give you everything you want
(so what you saying?)
we can give you everything you want
[verse:]
yeah, you might be right in a lot of ways
i could’ve chose a different path and maybe gotten paid
could’ve eventually retired with money saved
but that was never how i envisioned running this race
if i gained the world, but sold my soul in the process
it wouldn’t matter if the critics labelled me the dopest
i’d probably cringe when i saw my name on the poster
forsaking my destiny, not becoming what i’m supposed to
i’ve come close to, closing the pad, hanging the mic
but i’m a soldier, no matter how bad i’m gonna fight
i’m for this culture, i stand for the truth, walk in the light
and i’ll oppose the same attitude and views for life
so, thank you the offer, i won’t even consider it
my people are in pain and the youth are needing leadership
and if it’s not me that inspires a generation
might spark a flame in the mind of the one that’s gonna raise them
