My Advice
Listen, yo
Yo, listen man, I'm one of the greatest
Welcome, one and all
I'm glad you have patience
Have a seat, get comfy, open your ears
Listen to my words, relax
I'll end all your fears
See for years I've been
Grindin' on the hustle strugglin' to get on
And divining all my muscle
I'm living proof that if you don't give up
You can make it
See I'm almost at that point and
That's the point of my dissertation
The motivation of my speech
Is to get you to that highest point
In your life that you couldn't reach
Throw your shyness out the window
Where the wind blow
Make some money, stash it when on stage
Spit with a passion
Be social, respect all aspects of the culture
With the graffin', scratching
All b-boy doing a backspin
Stop ice grilling
Harassing grabbing womens' asses
Press on play like a
Production for TurboGrafx
You need advice?
(I got it) pay close attention
These are some of the tools and
Use them with wise discretion
I send them off with the
Youth that love hip-hop
A lesson a light to follow
And avoid road blocks
Hit up open mics, even poetry shows
And perform regardless, even if nobody shows
That's called practice
Mostly done by some of the pros
And Bill's presence
Organization of breath control (peepin')
Don't get a manager like everybody else
Until you get a major deal
Do everything yourself
Get something like ten songs together
Listen to them on replay
Pick the three best
And hand them out to college DJs (why?)
They love exclusives, get your name out
And if somebody think they hotter than you
Put they flame out see battles is important
For confidence reasons (uh huh)
You lose some you win some
But make sure the prize money's decent (okay)
‘Cause your money don't happen till
Late in the career
Free shows pay dues, spread love not fear
A&R is trying to gas you, like super unleaded
(true) give gifts instead of cash
A year later you'll regret it
This is a foolproof system, to get your MC on
I get a buzz like a bumble bee on
A honey bee farm
I started at fifteen and now
I'm just gettin' known (damn)
Fifteen years later
When I'm thirty years old don't give up
Keep your chin up it'll pay off
Just follow the system
The road to riches and stay off
The narrow road, when you hear the start
A pistol take off and don't turn back
I'm giving you what you need to burn tracks
And earn that, this is free
No fee needed for this advice
Thanks for attending the seminar
God bless and goodnight thank you, thank you
Thank you very much thank you for coming out
You need advice?
(I got it) pay close attention
