You would rather have a Lexus or justice?
A dream or some substance?
A Bimmer, a necklace or freedom?
Six lines, all lyrics, and five of them from a single song: Hip-Hop (5). That song is an argument about the music business, with money (4) and justice (3) the top themes: Lexus or justice, record deals that don't feed families, labels pushing tapes like dope. It also asks who shot Biggie Smalls. The sixth line, from I'm A African, is about heritage: "Africa is my momma".
You can be next in line and signed and still be writing rhymes and broke
No, I wasn't born in Ghana, but Africa is my momma
These record labels slang our tapes like dope
Who shot Biggie Smalls, if we don't get them, they gon' get us all
Nigga don't think these record deals gon' feed your seeds and pay your bills
Because they not (Uh-uh)
