Signing With Satan

Sometimes you gotta keep saying it 'til you drive the point home, ahhh, let’s dance

[Chorus]
It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin’
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

[Verse 1]
You came in the game with intentions of fame
They gave you some paperwork they never meant to explain
Ignored those before you who went through the same
Showed you the slave sheet and then you penned in your name
With no representation, you got no protection
No voice or translation to stop the deception
But that was the motive, the moment that they wrote it
Knowing cars and jewelry is all that you notice
At first you was bangin’ and underground famous
But due to the arrangement, your art starts changin’
The hard fought painstakin' flames in your language
You’re far from the same that you initially came with
All lost in the moment quick
Your likeness and your music are both under new ownership
But when you fall, you're no longer a guest here
They'll drop you and sign another one like you next year

[Chorus]
It's your soul that they wantin’
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

[Verse 2]
The label CEO is talentless
He's only enamored with the construction of financial imbalances
90/10 split means the pay is low
Only a snake would justify this disproportionate ratio
Rappers are hoein' for Lyor Cohen
And other Jews who represent themselves to be all knowin'
If it was up to them, artists wouldn't get one dime
Made millions off of rap and never spit one line
Who controls entertainment and makes it a weapon?
Sumner Redstone, Michael Eisner and [?] Levin
[?], dictators of all communication
Own the record labels, media and tv stations
Interscope, Universal, Turner, CNN
MCA, MTV, all belong to these men
CBS, ABC and NBC too
Are run by those who worship money so they exploit you, c'mon

[Chorus]
It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

[Verse 3]
Our music is being bled, the integrity's dead
Top rappers gave up self-respect for bread
But you don't care about the culture ‘cause you got yours
But what you think they say about you behind locked doors?
Yeah, you can blame the artist for negative songs
But who's the puppet-master that's lettin' these records get on?
They only sign you today if you buffoonish and foolish
And when they do this, the hood starts to mirror the music
Heavily influence whatever they rappin' we do it
And it was planned by an enemy who already knew it
Why we only hear about dope, jewelry and hoes?
Why you think all of these rappers wearing female clothes?
It's on us to separate, then break that phase
A lot of ‘em that's in the door got raped both ways
If they can keep you in a daze, turned up and lit
It'll stop you from exposing their corruptive shit
Sing it

[Chorus]
It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan

It's your soul that they wantin'
Your whole life is what they ownin'
The same artists they be clonin'
You wrote your name without knowin'
Signing with Satan
