Ice Cube Record Company Pimpin' Lyrics

[Ice Cube]
Please listen to my demo [x8]

A n____ told me, the record company's the pimp
The artist is the hoe, The stage is the corner
And the audience is the trip, god d___

[verse one]
Incredible young n____, you can't belive i'm just one n____
God d___ i've gotten bigger
Intellect superior,
Walk in a room and make the whole interior, inferior
If you look me in my eyes
You might f___ around and loose control of your mind body and your soul
Grab ahold
Undisputed on the microphone, what choo think
If you wink, i'll make you ich think
Did you blink, did you ever drink your own brain matter
Shotgun enima, this ain't no cinema
All praises due to the creator
--for this man here, that can't no n____ stand near--
True, inventor of the double-you
What choo wanna do, i got the red and the blue
Show me one n____ dedicated to raps
I'll show you ten n____s dedicated to snaps
Record company death traps settin' decoys
Just to pimp young b-boys
With a cup full of yak, studio contact
Maniac with a contract
Well turn up the bass and the m_________in' treble
About to do a deal with the devil for my vocal level
Bullshit points, plus he want to rub it in
And take all my publishin', god d___
Do i take it up the r_____
Just to rock the spectrum
Give up a right arm, just to do a form
Hell no, all you motherfukers goan leave this b____ limpin'
No more, record company pimpin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more No more No more No more

You ain't pimpin' me (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)
I ain't pimpin' you (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)
I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)
So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo)
I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo)
I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)
So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

[verse two]
I'ma keep it simple, it went from "please listen to my demo"
To "get your a__ out my limo"
Stretch presidential
It's essential cuz the record company will have your a__ in a rental
If you let 'em, You have to behead 'em
Contracts you never read 'em
CEO's you never met 'em
Sent to an atourney, Burnstein and Burney
n____ that's his lawyer, ain't got nothin' for ya
Treat ya like they emloy ya, i'm a warrior
Bite you in the a__ like a Georgetown Hoya
When they ignore ya cause, you got to hold your b____
Catch a m_________er slippin' in bathroom stalls
And then you show 'em that you ain't a rookie
Let 'em know that you'd rather have, more points than more p____
Pimp turned bookie
Now how the f___ i get in so much debt
God d___, we just met
Welcome to the rap game
m_________er be confused and broke before he know whats happenin'
You can be the star and f___ women
I'ma just play the back and keep winnin'

No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more (No more), record company pimpin'
No more No more No more No more

You ain't pimpin' me (please listen to my demo)
I ain't pimpin' you (please listen to my demo)
I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)
So what we gonna do (i got to holla at you, holla at you)

You ain't pimpin' me (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)
I ain't pimpin' you (uhn uhh, uhn uhh)
I just wanna be free (i just wanna be free)
So what we gonna do (can i holla at you, holla at you)

It went from please listen to my demo
To get your a__ out my limo [x4]

[outro]
Mama's, don't let your kids grow up to be rappers
Unless you tell them if they gonna get in this buisness
They better learn this buisness
Or they goan get f___ed
Simple as that
Simple as that
