Charge It To The Rap Game Lyrics - Ludaversal - Ludacris

Everybody wants the fortune and fame 

The more things change, the more they stay the same 

This industry is like a crack game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

This industry is like a crack game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

Where do I begin 

Well, the industry shady not everybody is your friend 

I had to learn that shit the hard way 

In and out bogus contracts since before I was rapping in the hallway 

Everyone out for money, executives out for blood 

If you don't keep the music current then labels'll pull the plug (get it) 

Hard to admit when shit don't go the way you plan 

While everybody's on instagram just fronting like life is brand 

Take it back to one of my first tours 

Fuckin' everything movin' thinkin' groupies will never do nothing back to us 

Kick 'em out the hotel swearing I hit my finer things 

Lost a bunch of jewelry from a rolex to a diamond chain (bitch) 

How in the hell did I get caught slippin' 

Meanwhile on all my records, nigga talkin' bout he pimpin' 

Maybe I exaggerated a lil bit 

You know fake it till you make it every one of us rappers gotta talk a little shit 

Yeah I done smashed some video vixens and some actresses 

But brand name pussy don't feel no different on my matresses 

Insecure hoes with brest jobs and butt shots 

Blaming on us rich niggas sponsoring shit and what not 

Now guys are just as big as groupies as these women is 

Till you break up and a bitch wonder where her percentage is 

While these regular hoes are trying to play the trap game 

And now is the time I blame it on the rap game

Everybody wants the fortune and fame 

The more things change, the more they stay the same 

This industry is like a crack game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

This industry is like a crack game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game 

Listen, this ain't scripted this reality 

It take some drugs for us to conquer this insanity 

Thieves using our name promoting these fake appearances 

Publicists overcharging taking years for these clearances 

I got sued some rappers said I stole their joint nigga 

Spend half a million just to prove a fucking point nigga 

We got the fans thinking rappers never lose 

Gave a producer a hundred grand for a beat I never use (damn) 

The false stories and being misquoted in magazines 

Got a nigga wanting to go and load a couple magazines 

Head to your office and shoot up the whole fucking staff 

Post that on your website and burn while I fucking laugh 

You protesters at my concerts y'all make me sick 

I thought I told y'all I would never disrespect a bitch 

It's clear to see that hip hop's under attack man 

Or is it cause that no one wants to see a rich black man 

Really they want us with no money 

Hungover and missing flights and cutting our show money 

Hip hop cops still looking and trying to catch us slippin' 

And put us in a position to make some real life decisions (hmmm) 

Or do we just be doing dumb shit 

Emptying out these gun clips and always on the run shit 

Lifestyles of us entertaining hood niggas 

If it's bad to be a rapper what's good nigga

This industry is like a crack game 

Sometimes you gotta charge it to the rap game
