letra de industry snakes - unkle adams

[verse 1]
i’m really stressed
really, what a mess this is
my thoughts need a rest
but i’m full of restlessness
jaded from the gang
feeling like a pessimist
my money’s gone
other rappers sayin’ “check the wrist!”
full of diamonds
i’m in not the same sitch’
so here i sit
with a wicked bone to pick
with these snakes
let me lay it out for you
all you people who think my brain flew the coop
i had a manager take 4,000 from me
then cross the pacific into another country
his buddy said he’d get me into tv and film
well, my music, at least
until his pockets were filled
but guess what, they got paid and i did not
guess i’m used to it now
what a sickening thought
young rappers
never give your money away
to music industry snakes
that promise you fame

[bridge 1]
curtis, this could be your year

[verse 2]
the debt racks so fast it’s hard to track
i swear my bank account is under steady attack
my other manager said
that radio was the way
and every song that you hear
was paid to be played
so i put 20,000 into a campaign
but most of my spins
were late night plays
that n0body heard
i thought that was absurd
i complained and they said
“well those records were first
let’s have a bet on the radio
we gotta get to know you
we gotta do another campaign
maybe another two”
i desperately needed one of my records to pop
they told me radio would push me over the top
and helped plan a contract
with one of the labels
but there was no pot of gold
under the rainbow
and i didn’t know
we did another campaign
that was over 30,000
feel my pain?

[bridge 2]
you’re gonna be rich soon
you just need a little more money

[verse 3]
i felt i was ripped off
felt pretty p-ssed off
at one of the radio guys
and i had this call
he said my manager was skimmin’ the top
of the money i sent
they suck blood from a rock
my god, i swear nothing shocks me now
on legal fees, probably spent around twenty thou
just preparing for deals that fell through and went sideways
but i wasn’t prepared
for these industry mind games
the other money was spent
creating my content
who do you think pays
when you’re independent?
plus on top of that
i’ve been gettin’ my rent in
i’m working on my dream
while y’all are pretending
and when i’m cemented
you’ll be wishing you would’ve
treated me better
so you could get a share of the cheddar
however, since i’ve fired every member involved
you won’t get a dime
i won’t even answer your calls

[outro]
watch out for snakes
they’re everywhere in this game
