[Verse 1:]
UMG, Universal Music Group
They've been stealing the cream so let me give you the scoop:
If you use 2 seconds of a song they think is theirs
They keep all the money from your video and nobody cares
Fair use copyright downright ignored
If you dispute their actions, well prepare to be floored
Slap their artists like a pimp but YouTube is their favourite whore
The law is on your side but their lawyers want it more
That's enough backstory for those who didn't know
The rest of this track is reserved for tearing into this hoe
Talking to you corporate bitches who are begging for stitches
I see you're lying with the flame on those britches
Filled to the brim with stolen riches
Universal only means you're universally hated
By every living being in the universe you thought you created
Threw a patent on it like you invented the C-chord
Brainwashing puppet masters, I ain't part of your hoard
[Chorus:]
UMG sucks, UMG Sucks
Everybody knows that UMG sucks
UMG sucks, UMG Sucks
Everybody knows that UMG sucks
Nobody likes you, not even your mommy
Everybody hats you, you're rotten salami
And I really hope that every single dope who works or is signed with them puts a sharp sandpaper-like-object up their butt
[Verse 2:]
I'll never call you my dad even if there's a fire
Remember 2008? If you don't, you're a liar
You're taking money from the poor without just cause
But wait, I need to explain those opening bars - pause
It was a reference to a movie from 2008
With Will Ferrell, damn man, that movie was great
I'm calling UMG an unwanted step-parent of the artist
But other hidden meaning is where the diss went hardest
You see, in 2008 there was a fire and it was bad
And UMG lost a bunch of archives they had
But they didn't tell the artists about the music lost
So now the artists filed suit and only time will tell the cost
Okay, play back to the diss track
Everything about UMG is what you call whack
I'd say it's public knowledge but if you open that door
You'll find a link not found, error 404
[Chorus:]
UMG sucks, UMG Sucks
Everybody knows that UMG sucks
UMG sucks, UMG Sucks
Everybody knows that UMG sucks
Nobody loves you, no, not even Jesus
Your ego is bigger than Vegeta mixed with Frieza's
The only difference is those two are kinda cool
While you're a fucking piece of shit who needs to wear a helmet while you drool
[Verse 3:]
Hold on, I think I need to pause again
In case you missed that last verse when I was going in
I said "public knowledge" and "error 404"
It was a specific reference, I bet you wanna know more
Publicknowledge.org back in 2014
Wrote an important article that needed to be seen
The title pops up if you google it today
Something like how UMG and YouTube agreed to ignore fair use and look the other way
I don't know
You know? Legal stuff
But if you try to click it and read it
You'll see that UMG went ahead and made sure that page got deleted
I don't think this is a fact that needs repeated
These are law-breaking assholes who need to be defeated
I digress, there's not much else to say
So I'll break it down once more in the only sane way
[Outro:] (x2)
UMG sucks, UMG Sucks
Everybody knows that UMG sucks
UMG sucks, UMG Sucks
Everybody knows that UMG sucks
