Record Company Pimpin' Lyrics - War And Peace Vol. 2 (peace) - Ice Cube

[Ice Cube] 

Please listen to my demo {x8} 

A nigga told me, the record company's the pimp 

The artist is the hoe, The stage is the corner 

And the audience is the trip, god damn 

(verse one) {: 21} 

Incredible young nigga, you can't belive i'm just one nigga 

God damn i've gotten bigger 

Intellect superior, 

Walk in a room and make the whole interior, inferior 

If you look me in my eyes 

You might fuck around and loose control of your mind body and your soul 

Grab ahold 

Undisputed on the microphone, what choo think 

If you wink, i'll make you ich think 

Did you blink, did you ever drink your own brain matter 

Shotgun enima, this ain't no cinema 

All praises due to the creator 

--for this man here, that can't no nigga stand near-- 

True, inventor of the double-you 

What choo wanna do, i got the red and the blue 

Show me one nigga dedicated to raps 

I'll show you ten niggas dedicated to snaps 

Record company death traps settin' decoys 

Just to pimp young b-boys 

With a cup full of yak, studio contact 

Maniac with a contract 

Well turn up the bass and the motherfuckin' treble 

About to do a deal with the devil for my vocal level 

Bullshit points, plus he want to rub it in 

And take all my publishin', god damn 

Do i take it up the rectum 

Just to rock the spectrum 

Give up a right arm, just to do a form 

Hell no, all you motherfukers goan leave this bitch limpin' 

No more, record company pimpin'

(verse two) {2: 01} 

I'ma keep it simple, it went from "please listen to my demo" 

To "get your ass out my limo" 

Stretch presidential 

It's essential cuz the record company will have your ass in a rental 

If you let 'em, You have to behead 'em 

Contracts you never read 'em 

CEO's you never met 'em 

Sent to an atourney, Burnstein and Burney 

Nigga that's his lawyer, ain't got nothin' for ya 

Treat ya like they emloy ya, i'm a warrior 

Bite you in the ass like a Georgetown Hoya 

When they ignore ya cause, you got to hold your balls 

Catch a motherfucker slippin' in bathroom stalls 

And then you show 'em that you ain't a rookie 

Let 'em know that you'd rather have, more points than more pussy 

Pimp turned bookie 

Now how the fuck i get in so much debt 

God damn, we just met 

Welcome to the rap game 

Motherfucker be confused and broke before he know whats happenin' 

You can be the star and fuck women 

I'ma just play the back and keep winnin' 

No more (No more), record company pimpin' 

No more (No more), record company pimpin' 

No more (No more), record company pimpin' 

No more No more No more No more 

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo) 

I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo) 

I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free) 

So what we gonna do (i got to holla at you, holla at you) 

You ain't pimpin' me (uhn uhh, uhn uhh) 

I ain't pimpin' you (uhn uhh, uhn uhh) 

I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free) 

So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you) 

It went from please listen to my demo 

To get your ass out my limo {x4} 

(outro) {3: 43} 

Mama's, don't let your kids grow up to be rappers 

Unless you tell them if they gonna get in this buisness 

They better learn this buisness 

Or they goan get fucked 

Simple as that 

Simple as that
