Current Events Lyrics by Phony Ppl

Phonyland

2012

[Verse 1: Elbee Thrie]
Some record labels think like fart and it's retarded
How they tryna change the artist
Deep into recording they restarted
Like getting back what you asked for
Bad bartend [?]
Talented out the ass
We're not subjects to change
Music roll, float dirty like we just gave it AIDS
We just do our thing
I rap when I want to what I want
(I will sing)
Why can't I say what I want?
Because the label's tryna switch it up?
Well guess what? It's not going down
For the same reason J5 left Motown
As free slaves to the label they made epic music
Do your research, for real, they made epic music
Many came next, but with the legs to do it
Rather remain unsigned and change with the times

[Hook]
Keep up with the times
(Or watch as they go)
Unveil your blinded eyes
(Take a chance 'cause you never know)
It's time to realize that
We have our own minds that
Do what they want to do

[Verse 2:]
Back in this time to rap again
It's the young messiah trappin' 'em
Other cats just doing their thing, but I'm more passionate (Yeah)
Fire to a few, a match in some gas
Back when I was doing me
They was want me to do what they askin'
I ain't a sucker, I'm in love with good music
Especially if the fans bump to it
Huh, you think I'm stupid?
Thinking I'm gone sell out and let the fans down
I am original, that got me where I am now
A band now, Phony Ppl, rocking jam [?]
Sex education for those who don't understand now
How yet they try to label me explicit?
Not knowing there's a message in my lyrics
Reflection of my feelings
Real life sex and drug-dealin'
Chilling with loose triggers that look so unappealin'
Now tell me what's the difference: Phony or being Phony?
At least you got the chance to f*ckin' know me

[Hook]
Keep up with the times
(Or watch as they go)
Unveil your blinded eyes
(Take a chance 'cause you never know)
It's time to realize that
We have our own minds that
Do what they wanna do

[Verse 3:]
Too sexual for our demographic?
That's like saying that women aren't attractive
And listeners aren't looking at 'em
Hey kids, you wanna know where babies come from? (Where?)
When your mom cums
Nothin' to run from
Like we're supposed to be some political activists
And act as if Vanessa Hudgins doesn't leak nasty pics
Like execs don't promote subliminal interests
And Miley Cyrus doesn't take an incest for big checks (Ew)
Sorry to change your achy-breaky heart (Haha)
But what we're makin' isn't changin' just to make it to the charts and be famous
And have a name that everybody knows
What is knowin' my name if you don't feel us in your soul?
What's the form of expression when there's burdens on my chest
And can't say what I want?
According to the people watching us (Wow)
Shout out: I've got mad respect for Ralph
So for a second, I'll shut my mouth
I'm done

[Hook]
Keep up with the times
(Or watch as they go)
Unveil your blinded eyes
(Take a chance 'cause you never know)
It's time to realize that
We have our own minds that
Do what they wanna do
