your an underground rapper who in order to get signed must turn mainstream.. do you or dont you take the contract and what leads to your decision. L Dogg
Reached a cross roads, and the path I picked is unpopular
My homies say its blasphemous, like Rodney king becoming a copper
I decided to use this mic, as my way 2 make money
While I luv the game, I hate seein my daughter hungry
They labels say they like the flow, but my shit 2 underground
They offerin million dollars, if I can make a mainstream turn around
Now I'm the cat who said th@ bad boy's music was a waste of time
But I got 2 stay alive, cant keep havin 2 move wit a nine
Cant keep havin 2 hustle, tryin 2 raise the stacks
Strainin my mental muscle, so my daughter can eat flap jacks
She's my reason 4 bein, makin this change 4 her not 4 me
I also got dreams, and 1 is seein her in university
If this was a muvi, now u'd hear the sad lament of a harp
Decision is to do music for money, or do it for my heart
It mite hurt my heart to leave, but even broken hearts heal
And I do anything, if it guarantees my daughter a meal
U mite c this as malevolent as cain killin abel
But I luv my daughter so I'm signin 2 th@ record label
