(Intro)
|
When I¡¯m in Miami,
|
When I¡¯m in Atlanta
|
The radio sound like I¡¯m in Miami
|
When I¡¯m in New York
|
The radio sound like I¡¯m in Miami
|
So you feel like
|
Now, my response to that is
|
Miami currently, Atlanta currently
|
Is making better music musically than New York
|
Let me explain something to you
|
Them dudes is in power because yall putting them in power
|
|
(Verse)
|
I¡¯ve been fighting in spikes
|
Came off tour, my mic was on
|
Me and Ebro been having this dialogue
|
Even though they play a major part in each way
|
We can¡¯t blame it all on the DJ
|
Because when New York slows down
|
I play the side like a G
|
Waited my turn but learned it down to the T
|
Other New York artists change they bop to a bounce
|
Started snappin they fingers like they was from the south
|
Out of towners come in town, they just tag along
|
Apart of the entourage, playing chaperone
|
A bunch of escorts, got yo mains with you
|
Niggas do anything for a Instagram picture
|
But it¡¯s bigger than them and us
|
I warned yall on charade, the hip-hop tops was tryna finish us
|
Play some boom back, take the melodies off
|
It¡¯s the concrete jungle, we can never be soft
|
|
(Interlude)
|
We should not be playing 2 Chainz, we should not be playing Ross all the time
|
We should not be playing Drake, we should not be playing Drake, we should not be playing Lil Wayne
|
I ain¡¯t sayin that
|
I¡¯m sayin we shouldn¡¯t be following Soo
|
We should be dictatin something
|
We should be dictatin for them to play some shit
|
¡®Cause they dictatin what we play
|
Out here I sit back and I hear the radio, they like oh this is hot in Atlanta
|
New joint, hot, I never heard it before
|
This is crazy in Atlanta, boom!
|
I do hate that phrase
|
And I¡¯m like yo, this ain¡¯t Atlanta
|
This ain¡¯t Atlanta
|
|
(Verse)
|
Yea, four gold albums, one platinum plaque, still shining
|
I get my record hot, they tried to tell me keep grinding
|
Live in Miami, how I¡¯m pposed to get some spins there?
|
The first thing they say is New York spinning it there
|
We don¡¯t support our own, records ain¡¯t hot enough
|
Towards the artists with the budgets, guess they got the hottest stuff
|
We pull the support, independent artists
|
We proud of our city and stop playing this garbage
|
When we first came out this heavy wasn¡¯t relevant
|
Puff was killin the agenda, walk towards gold was evident
|
I ain¡¯t trying to live off my past accolades
|
But nowadays music gets looked over
|
Every new nigga¡¯s hear their new song with me already
|
But my love in the city dead, obituary
|
Fuck it, it¡¯s the support, good music
|
I ain¡¯t talkin Kanye¡¯ing them, I¡¯m talkin Kay Slay¡¯ing em
|
Bust Rhymes, NORE and Ghost, Cam¡¯Rayin em
|
|
(Interlude)
|
When we down there, them niggas don¡¯t give a fuck about New York
|
If you ain¡¯t knowin one of they joints they ain¡¯t supportin it
|
You ain¡¯t getting no New York nigga out here for dolo and his shit poppin
|
Look, if there¡¯s good music being made it¡¯s gon get a look, right?
|
That¡¯s how your music gets on, that¡¯s how A$AP is poppin right now
|
You know, but at the same time if there¡¯s shitty music being made or it¡¯s sounding basic or regional and it¡¯s not poppin, streets not poppin
|
|
(Verse)
|
Look at the last few years, it¡¯s count
|
Most up north artists who made it had to sign to a artist from the south
|
That makes me scratch my head
|
Why the legends from up north left all the up and coming for dead?
|
Why is it that Eminem had to sign 50?
|
When everybody knew he had the town in his frenzy
|
Ross had to come up north for Meek Millie
|
Wayne signed Cory, Jae Millz and Iggy
|
When Jay-Z came up he piggy backed Biggie
|
Why he ain¡¯t never pushed no artist from his city?
|
Ain¡¯t hatin, every man gotta put in they own work
|
I¡¯m just pointin out the facts, been doing my homework
|
They don¡¯t judge a artist by his excellence
|
Everybody only know one word, relevant
|
Expand your vocabulary when the real artist shit drop
|
¡®Cause the word relevant is really killin hip-hop
|
This goes out to every city, big or small
|
Support up north like we support yall
