I apologize

for being a rapper

that floods your airwaves with songs that deprave

your kids' minds

making them mental slaves

I apologize

for writin' rhymes

about crimes never committed

sellin' drugs

bustin' guns

prisons never been in

I apologize

for promoting companies

lacking respect for me

stretching out their demographics

increasing their currency

I apologize

for demeaning women

when some of ya'll don't

deserve it

prostituting ya'll on wax

as a means of making profit

I apologize

for exploiting my hood

instead of explaining it

using it as a stepping stone when I should be saving it

I apologize

for giving the "n word"

heavy rotation

instead of lifting the minds of the masses

I'm satisfying investors

BUT SEE...

I got this A & R

saying if I don't write songs like these

he ain't gonna sign me

And ya'll Black folks are bootlegging and downloading

so what you gonna boycott, spare me!

And plus I got seeds to feed

and ya'll ain't buying enough copies

But these White kids get a kick

out of black niggertivity

So I Sambo on tracks

manifesting buffonery

cause these black companies can't offer what these white ones is paying me

So for an MTV crib

and a chance of luxury

I close my third eye

and compromise my dignity

Like ya'll females dancing to my number one hit songs

of misogyny

rhythmic masochists

gyrating to degradation

souls missing something

like single parent housing

Now you know why today's Black youth is unbalanced

Say hello to our future gang members

or corner drug dealers

listening to me, Mike Jones, or Jim Jones

trying to figure out who's the better father figure

And our streets is ruptured

Black leaders crossed over

selling out our structures to development vipers

And our Black lawyers and doctors

moved out to greener pastures

no more role models

they left with the Cosby season

Making us fans and victims

of misguided elders spewing the word nigger

with lousy explanations.

Ya'll are taking us backwards

Ving Rhames- Pulp Fiction

But you call ME Blackploitation!

I'm just a sound on a radio station

that YA'LL keep demanding so whose fault really is this

I'm from that part of America where genocide resides

as my neighbor

inhaling asbestos when I wake

and hearing sirens when I slumber

Now I’m a Stepford wife

steppin n’ fetchin’ for  my masters

strings pulled by my backers

But regardless of these factors

I'm the one in control of my actions

and I should still know better....so, I apologize
