[Intro: Sharecka]
Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, everybody wanna be an artist, man
But it's certain steps that you have to take
To become an all around artist, knowhatimsaying?
Yeah... everybody wanna be an artist, man
But it's certain ways... yeah, you gotta stack up your lyrical, man
You gotta make sure, your hooks is on point
That's first and foremost, everybody wanna be an artist, man
But it's certain ways, that you have to put your shit together
Don't sleep, so it's tight, and make 'em feel you like that, energy first
Check it out...

[Sharecka]
Look, everywhere I go, people asking me when I'm dropping
Yes, this is what we go through as artists
Tell me, do you really wanna be an artist?
Company got you gassed, soon as you left
They through your tape right in the garbage
You go home and brag, telling your peeps
"Yeah, they deal, I think I got it"
Said they like the rhymes, and they love the tracks
Two weeks passed, and they ain't called you back
When you hit the A&R, upbeats, talking bout
Yo, I'm kind busy, let me hit you back
Now you tight like 'fuck that'
Nigga just give me my demo back
Yelling out 'who ain't hot?'
I battle anybody on your label and take the spot
He replied 'yeah, you kind of nice'
Then he talking bout, yo, the time ain't right
But you hungry and want a deal
Contract's ready to sign tonight
Got your demo back, and took it home
Talking bout, it sound aight
After that blunt, this shit is tight
Maybe just didn't listen right...
