LYRICS:

ARE YOU BUSTING A CAP? THE LYRICS ARE WACK.
TAKE IT BACK. TAKE IT BACK.
BECAUSE THEY BLAME IT ON RAP.
HIPHOP MEANS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!

Now this track's dedicated - dedicate the track
to the rappers who pretend to be a murderer and that…
bragging on a weapon like its fashionable
to fashion a tool and stash it at school and act a fool.
well everybody's got a weapon somewhere you know.
some weapons never show, the biggest weapon's what you know
so I've come to give it some because you know it's insane
to blame music for guns and putting rap in the frame

MC's act like gangster clones on microphones
now we're done with Al Capone, time to step into a zone
where its more about working hard than being hard
or being barred for beating on a man in a leotard..
some people mis-interpret a rhyme, hiphop music seen as glorifying crime.
bull! -man don't lay the blame on MC's when all around you see crumbling society
and do you know the worst thing? - rehearsing up a version of yourself that says "I'm not a very nice person"
that's a stupid thing to do, no doubt, that ain't the right type of clout
or respect to want to get- you'll work it out one day
i know for sure 'cos it ail come back and hit ya,
chew you up spit ya, or swallow and [shit] ya
for all of that after-party gangster crap,
saying you're strapped with groupies sipping Crystal out your lap!

i got the rhyme - sick of all the crime
role-models all the time banging on about a 9
i got the real hiphop with no frills
I'm in your mum's will. stay phat like uncle phil - still
ain't too cool for school now i see you cats drool
more funk than a fool dropping the kids off at the pool
so check the rhyme i just did, sicker than an invalid,
waxing it taxing it like the name was captain kidd...
