Intro:
The study of history reveals a great deal of propaganda that has been used to fight wars, and win wars…
So you see Chuck, propaganda is important
But how can you study it?
Well, you can begin by investigating the techniques of propaganda
Here, I’ve listed some of the main ones:
Glittering generalities, transfer, name-calling, card-stacking, testimonial, plain-folks, and bandwagon
Your job is to recognize them when you see them
Verse 1:
Yeah
Becoming just what I was destined to be
Can’t name a rapper in The Region out hеre messing with me
I takе my time with everything, I’m a perfectionist, testing the density of all the pressure that they pressing on me
See it’s a lot of people wanna see you stay at your worst
So being one step ahead is like getting paid on the first
I rack my brain ‘til it hurts and wear my pain on my shirt
See I’ll be doing my thing up until I’m laying in dirt
Bitch I’m a mother fucking legend, they’ll remember my name
I put the work into my craft and they can’t reciprocate
I set a goal and then I ran for it, I’m tracking my pace and the rest of y’all just posting pictures tryna act like you’re paid
Cut the fake shit, I ain't playing with these posers no more
Persistence and dedication to get your foot in the door
Was grinding when I was poor, now I’m still kinda poor
But you can bet that I’ma work ‘til I can’t work anymore
Hook:
Yeah
They steady gimme praise, I can’t get enough of it
Life’s like an arcade, no pause button
Lay the red carpet out, you know the star’s coming
Chains glowing all night, bitch I’m star studded
Yeah
Bitch I’m star studded
Smoking dank with your girl and we power puffing
All the drinks on me, get the bars flooded
Chain’s glowing all night bitch, I’m star studded
Verse 2:
Yeah
They say know your limitations
I hate conforming, I would rather leave something vacant
These social norms are really starting to wear on my patience
So I isolate, and try to hide from interrogation
“What’s the point in life?”, I’m really tryna find out myself
Seems like everything that I do’s a choice ‘tween Heaven and Hell
And I just hate having to make decisions that put me in bad positions, I’d rather leave that to God or anyone else
And I ain’t saying I’m afraid of making mistakes, it’ll happen
‘Cause when you increase the stakes a bit, it gets harder to master
I maneuver ‘round the playing field like driving a tractor
‘Cause I’m mowing down the snakes that keep trying to catch me lacking
Hella practice and accuracy, it’s just part of my ritual
I can’t tell if I’m actually religious or just spiritual
I might need some assistance, “God, can you spare me a miracle?”
I’ll jump right out the Keystone if they lock me up like Spirtomb, and…
Hook:
They steady gimme praise, I can’t get enough of it
Life’s like an arcade, no pause button
Lay the red carpet out, you know the star’s coming
Chains glowing all night, bitch I’m star studded
Yeah
Bitch I’m star studded
Smoking dank with your girl and we power puffing
All the drinks on me, get the bars flooded
Chain’s glowing all night bitch, I’m star studded
Verse 3:
I put my life in my music
They wonder how I do it, how I stay getting to it
And what’s the method to the madness that I’m steady pursuing?
I tell ‘em “Listen up”, all your lines gotta be congruent
Meaning every move you make gotta be in the right direction
Better straighten up your act like the sergeant’s here for inspection
Ain’t no time to waste sitting around waiting for interceptions
‘Cause the best are usually the ones who going out to get ‘em
I ain’t tryna knock your hustle, I’m just trying to improve it
Everyday I’m tryna think of new ways to switch up the movement
Used to try and work with people who ended up just a nuisance
But I usually just left, I ain’t even chuck up the duces
‘Cause it’s not worth the effort if you don’t get it in return
That’s a valuable lesson I had to go through shit to learn
Everything ain’t what it seems, that’s why I’m burning up this herb
When I die, bury me in a pyramid, fuck a urn homie
Hook:
They steady gimme praise, I can’t get enough of it
Life’s like an arcade, no pause button
Lay the red carpet out, you know the star’s coming
Chains glowing all night, bitch I’m star studded
Yeah
Bitch I’m star studded
Smoking dank with your girl and we power puffing
All the drinks on me, get the bars flooded
Chain’s glowing all night bitch, I’m star studded
