Six lines, five of them lyrics, and craft is the top tag at 4. Exodus supplies two: a refusal of the hero label, and a claim that the group is the present, past and future. Stakes is High rejects the clichés of rap, Future calls a rap career "the life in-between", and Ghetto Thang warns that dreams are not what they seem. The one interview line, from Vibe, is about hip-hop being called too materialistic. It is a small page with a clear sense of what they objected to.
I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses
I'm sick of talkin' 'bout blunts, sick of Versace glasses
Sick of slang, sick of half-ass awards shows

This rap career ain't work, it's the life in-between
'Cause dreams ain't what it seem
When it's just the ghetto thang
