[Verse 1:]
Hi, I’m the Masta Artisan, and I’ve been meaning
To tell you one thing: it’s that I’m a human being
And I want to make sure it’s
Known to all of you that I’m not perfect
So when you’re hit by a song from me
I want to make sure the strike is complete
With my specific sentiments, and creativity
So that hopefully, my audience may consider me
To be a rapper who can be himself and fill the demand
Of fans who want music that they can relate to and understand
I wanna captivate you with songs you’re able to love
That’s what I think a good artist should be capable of
But when I hear some of these rappers mouths start running
All they can rap about is how they’re gods among men
Talking about a life that’s far too fantastic
And that always makes me a little sarcastic, like:

[Hook]
Oh, really? You’re the best that no one can defeat?
Oh really? You are a gangsta and carry heat?
Oh really? You’re a drug dealer who doesn’t think it’s wrong
To confess all of your crimes in your songs?
Oh really? You’re a pimp who gets any girl you want?
Oh really? You have cash that you like to flaunt?
Oh really? You’ve got designer clothes galore?
Okay, now tell us something we haven’t heard before

[Verse 2:]
Seriously, who do you think they’re impressing?
Do you guys REALLY think it’s still that interesting?
You all sound the same and so you drown the game
In monotony, cuz you ALL wanna copy Biggie or 2Pac, and see
What happens? Now, you don’t even make the slightest impact when
People hear you rappin
Because everyone else is saying the same thing, what makes you any better?
And even if someone does let you get a record deal
Do you really want your ONE time to shine
To be wasted on creating...
"Generic Club Song Number 8, 642, 359"?
Alright fine
But where’s the integrity to leave a legacy
That’ll make you stand out as a Hip Hop celebrity?
Well, I understand that you wanna get on the radio
But when I hear the same thing all the time, I just go:

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]
Now, I hope no body feels disrespected
Because this is not intended to be a diss record
I’m just saying, is it something that Hip Hop really needs, yo?
Another rapper who just wants to stroke his ego?
Honestly, I think in Hip Hop, there’s a majority
Of rappers who have a complex of inferiority
That comes from living in lower class communities
Where self esteem comes from having the opportunity
To clown someone else for not having what they posses
Which translates into bragging about how they’re the best
And that seems to sell, so if your only way to get profits
Is by reusing a well-worn topic
Then do something with it, flip it, have some wordplay to exhibit
So that when you rap, it won’t sound so insipid
But if you just want to say what we’ve all heard before
Don’t mind me if I start to snore

[Hook]
