Genre: Hip-Hop
LYRICS (I had to write these ones out myself, so apologies for any errors)
[Intro]
Yeah, Apathy
Screamin' "Death to these culture vultures"
Hehe... I shouldn't give a fuck, right?
It's a bad look, but what's worse?
Sayin' somethin' that I know is right
Or not sayin' nothin'
When these fuckin' clowns disrespect who you love?
Who's a sucker then?
[Chorus]
I do this for my culture, to my very last breath
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the..."
[Verse 1]
For all the dues I pay
For all the crews I slay
For all the fights I've fought
For all the mics I've rocked
For every crate I carry
Every rapper I bury
Every rapper that I love is laying in the cemetery
Every dollar I spent, and every night I went hungry
'Cause I bought rap albums when I saved my lunch money
Every time I had a memory attached to a song
Soundtrack to my life, thank God this is long
Every song I dedicated that got me some ass
And for the Walkman in my back that always got me from class
This is for my squad, Demigodz for life
I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Open Mic
And if it wasn't for Celph and me and Louie out in Harlem
I sacrifice my life for the mic, not for stardom
Every rhyme I wrote and not books I filled
MC's I killed
Studios I've chilled
Every time I billed with dudes who I look up to
For those who fronted, fuck you, I could prob'ly crush you
This is for the underdogs and underachievers
For all my blown speakers, the amps and receivers
An addict for sneakers
This is for all the professors and teachers
Consider this a death threat for vultures and leeches
Nas verses that sound like Malcolm X speeches
And every corner of the planet that this rap reaches
[Chorus]
I do this for my culture, to my very last breath
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
I do this for my culture, to my very last breath
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
[Verse 2]
For every sucker I diss to dismiss
Now they cease to exist
For the clones that I've crushed
Turned their bones into dust
For the snakes who deceive
And I ain't even believe
All of the swagger they leave
I'm brushin' off of my sleeves
For the tapes I wore out
With all the titles rubbed off
For these vultures, they soft
Tell the fakes to fuck off
For all the cyphers where I've stood
For every borough and hood
And for the freestyles I kicked
To show them rappers what's good
And if you counted all the notebooks I purchased
To scribble these verses
You could probably cover the Earth's surface
For miles on the whip
All the styles I've flipped
For the talk behind my back, but the smiles I get
'Cause I really pay dues
Fuck KZfaq views
And if I keep killin' mics
I know I'll never lose
For the fans, for my fam
For the man I am
Pan Ams to Japan
Suitcase in my hand
For Connecticut, I had to put my state on the map
And for these fuckers tryna take rap, I'm takin' it back
For the posters on my wall
Magazines I copped
The 12"s I dropped
In Long Island's cop shop
For them nights sneakin' out after curfew with Jerk Crew
Knowin' if you get caught your parents'll hurt you
For these motherfuckin' vampires suckin' us dry
I hope you choke on a dick and get nug in your eye
Bitch...
[Chorus]
I do this for my culture, to my very last breath
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
I do this for my culture, to my very last breath
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
Screamin' "Death to the culture vultures"
[Outro]
