about

Even though too many rappers feel entitled, there are those who actually don't get the recognition they deserve (at every level). This one goes out to you. Just keep doing what you're doing!

lyrics

[Verse 1]
You gotta live a life as a fantasy
And not a mannequin man akin to a fan of freaks
Manic calamity, panicked victim of vanity
Frantically entangled in vandalism of cherished dreams
They'll call it parody, but you'll call it clarity
Staring at the man in the mirror there and comparing each
And every breath of air you breathe in heresy with verity
They'll never be unique and free as you are lyrically
Comment in a homonym and homophone
You're all around an artist and they're all about the faux
Flow, part of their marketing MO
So? I bet its not the part you wanna know, oh
You got the beats and the know-how
Got the vocals and the speech and the flow down
But your product in the streets of a ghost town
Cuz you ain't got the people fiending for the dope sound

[Chorus ]
This goes out to my unsung friends
Unsung vocalists and unsung guests
Unsung hopefuls and the unsung sets
The unsung focus of unsung trends

[Verse 2]
So you life isn't what you planned it'd be
Beneath the manners your vanishing where you can't be seen
There's the heir to insanity, barely sticking to sanity
Standard serendipity's anagrammed in calamity
But error can't defeat your wherewithal apparently
Daring the arid and arrogant scene to scare the sheep
Carefree, impaired, and preparing to feed the feral beast
But you're barely there to compare to anything
They make a lotta dollars at a show
But you do what you wanna when you want to on your own
So you're independent, dope
But ain't nobody know about your opus, you're unknown
You got the beats and the know-how
Got the vocals and the speech and the flow down
But your product in the streets of a ghost town
Cuz you ain't got the people fiending for the dope sound

[Verse 3]
So this goes out to my unsung friends
The unsung vocalists, unsung guests
The unsung hopefuls and unsung sets
The unsung focus of unsung trends
You got the beats and the know-how
Got the vocals and the speech and the flow down
But your product in the streets of a ghost town
Cuz you ain't got the people fiending for the dope sound
