Yeah, I'm a rapper, but I'm losing my respect for the genre How many songs about Xanax and alcohol are we dropping? How many kids we gonna kill 'fore we admit it's a problem? Probably stop if was one of our sons or one of our daughters We know our demographic is primarily youth We glorify breaking the law to children in school Kids copy what we say and imitate what we do They'll go to jail for doing the things you told 'em was cool We put women in our videos, exploiting their bodies While little girls around the world grab their phone and they watch it They need a realistic role model, not just a Barbie They see strippers and escorts, but no lawyers or doctors Hey Hip-Hop, what the hell happened? It was power to the people, and we liked that stuff These days you're promoting that's it's fun to be an addict So I'm asking, how could you write that, bruh? You can blame the rappers That you blow up, but your favourite songs are 'bout doing drugs So what happens after? All these kids grow up, and who's to blame for who they've become? They made it look so cool To shoot those guns and hate the cops and to get too drunk You can't blame the rappers When you show up and love the songs that make you dumb You can't blame the rappers Songtexte Making music privilege and choice And if you ever get to be successful you must understand The people that you influence are swayed by what you say And that melodies and you sing make wings, building dreams, and fill voids We are medication straight through voice, some give life and some destroy And even though this money seems nice, it can't come So we must take that as a hint that there's other things in life you should enjoy We move mountains, we cross states We play roles in presidential debates So don't you try and tell me making music is for fun And you don't care about the things that our music help make Man I know I'm not perfect, but I'll change I'm the outcome of these worlds and my pain And this music is pills, and I promise this dose that you take won't make you say You can blame the rappers That you blow up, but your favourite songs are 'bout doing drugs So what happens after? All these kids grow up, and who's to blame for who they've become? They made it look so cool To shoot those guns and hate the cops and to get too drunk You can't blame the rappers When you show up and love the songs that make you dumb You can't blame the rappers Yeah, I'm a rapper, but I swear that I'm embarrassed Half of these artists can't even talk, they just mumble the lyrics And the teenagers listen while they rebel from their parents While the rappers tell 'em pop a pill, buy Gucci and wear it They say screw the police, break the rules, smoke weed By some shoes you don't need, rep the hood and yo street All these rappers holding guns and now the kids want some Mess around and kill they homie, you can't clean that blood We encourage being stupid with our music And we're normalizing poor morals standard while we do it Little boys see the way that women look in our videos And assume it's real-life, project that image on little girls It's unrealistic, if you're young and you listen You are one in a million, you are loved, you are different Hey Hip-Hop, I know life moves on But while I'm here, how could you write that, dawg? You can blame the rappers That you blow up, but your favourite songs are 'bout doing drugs So what happens after? All these kids grow up, and who's to blame for who they've become? They made it look so cool To shoot those guns and hate the cops and to get too drunk You can't blame the rappers When you show up and love the songs that make you dumb You can't blame the rappers Dollar bills and popping pills like party songs It's not cool in real life Cheap thrills and going till the morning comes See what that feels like You can blame the rappers That you blow up, but your favourite songs are 'bout doing drugs So what happens after? All these kids grow up, and who's to blame for who they've become? They made it look so cool To shoot those guns and hate the cops and to get too drunk You can't blame the rappers When you show up and love the songs that make you dumb You can't blame the rappers Aus Songtexte Mania
