Cockadoodledoo by MysDiggi Lyrics
[INTRO:]
Only the offenders should feel offended
... It's Mysdiggi, yeah, look
[VERSE:]
I'll set it straight 'cause time is really ticking
There's a new term to the phrase 'trying to really fit in'
When you've got guys in jeans looking tighter than the womens
You know right from the beginning
Hip hop better wake up
DJ claiming they're here to show the way
Sounding more like they're only here promoting mates
Like we're supposed to rate citing that you call hot
When we clearly know it 'ain't
Hip hop better wake up
Signed rappers under pressure not to fell
'cause you don't want to drop the album that's left up on the shelf
But it's got everybody sounding like everybody else
How you ever gonna' sell?
Hip hop better wake up
Time for heat to make you feel as if the sun's out of practice
Rise like the phoenix when it comes out the ashes
'cause nuff' out of backwards trying to dumb down the masses
Who brung out the mattress?
Hip hop better wake up
See ya' hold heat trying to OJ the game
Jumping on the bandwagon like we don't see you're lame
How you labelling these artists what they don't even claim
That provokes me to say
Hip hop better wake up
For real though, what have we been missing
Someone's obviously got to be on top of these decisions
Focusing on quantity but not the quality that's missing
Listen
Hip hop better wake up
Off-key and shady promoters out there
If you want me then pay me
And what's with the way you've been making all your bookies do your job for you lately
Stop being lazy
Hip hop better wake up
Some of you bloggers want to act as if you 'ain't wrong
And then you wonder where all the passion for the game's gone
Maybe it's because you used to rep the underground
But turned your back on where you came from
Hip hop better wake up
It's funny to me still how people say they do it for the culture
Then act like a monkey for the meals
Make it rain in the club but meanwhile Kool Herc's still struggling with bills
Hip hop better wake up
Nah i ain't dont yet, there's more to mention
So class best prepare for detention
Especially those doing all this dumb shit to get more attention
Bredren
Hip hop better wake up
Came up conscious then decided to thug out
Got signed so your rhyme books' full of drugs now
Then you get arrested just before the album comes out
Somehow
Hip hop better wake up
Look how many phoney rappers come through
Sounding like another while they act the dumb fool
We ain't dead yet but definitely lacking some rules
When did that become cool?
Hip hop better wake up
And what's with all these so-called 'artists' you see
Lying nowadays trying so hard to be street
When the gun goes off watch them Usian Bolt away far from the beef
Hip hop better wake up
Now there's people doing bait shit when aiming for the playlist
Meet someone famous, dive straight into his anus
Now it feels like the nature is to fake it 'til you make it
And most of you lot rate this
Hip hop better wake up
For real i'm done arguing with fools
Get a little name till they start to think they're cool
Soon flop 'cause they'd rather throw a party in the pool
Than be sharpening their tools
Hip hop better wake up
So this is what it is, it's all about promoting a lifestyle you wish you could have lived
While targeting a younger demographic while denying that you influence the kids
Hip hop better wake up
Though we're getting closer i can't blame the young'uns
If the olders never told ya', but if that's the case
Then you best protect your dough bruv
You know there's plenty vultures who don't respect the culture
Hip hop better wake up
Shame on you if you didn't want to do your part
And failed to shine a light that we wanted through the dark
All because you so badly want to be a star
You've forgotten who you are
Hip hop better wake up
And to you industry cats who've forgotten how to do this
Listen i don't want to sound abusive
But talking like it's all about the market and not about the music is fucking stupid
Hip hop better wake up
Claiming a potential award-winning sound
How you've got a bag of hits and you're sure we'll be proud
Then we find out you can't perform to a crowd
Talk to me now
Hip hop better wake up
Here's something i've been noticing of recent
So most of you should know i'm going to mean it
But if we think we're showing full support to an artist when we're just downloading all the free shit
Hip hop better wake up
If you're offended no apologies to you
I'm just doing what my conscience wanted me to do
If you want to seek the truth then be honest with your crew
Like cockadoodledoo
Hip hop better wake up
Only the offenders should feel offended
... It's Mysdiggi, yeah, look
