Sole & The Skyrider Band D.i.y.
[Verse 1]
And I got more tools then I ever could use
I don't wear tattoos
I don't wear a crew
Everywhere I go I'm local even if I only spit that Shakespeare
Got the universe in my palm
Don't need no stress to keep me calm
[...]
Everything I have I took it
Not for granted, but from the granite
[...]
My power's personal
No manager to clean my bones
They say rap is dead
I think most rap is wack
Never gave a shit about the underground
This is so boring and I'm never going back
[Chorus]
This is The Future
I'm the last of a dying breed
I'm D.I.Y
The industry is D.I.E
So what that mean?
Crush and burn
[...]
That's how we surviving in the end of the world
[Verse 2]
This is not the future that we were promised but we got it
So my office fits on the side of a pin prick
[...]
I've been broke my whole life
Every year I get a little bit richer
Cutting out the brokers, cutting out the parasites
The recession - cutting out my customs is -
No more cutting out my shadow and selling it to the highest bidder
I don't rap like I'm in a museum
I rap because the killed me before i hatched
[Chorus]
This is The Future
I'm the last of a dying breed
I'm D.I.Y
The industry is D.I.E
So what that mean?
Crush and burn
[...]
That's how we surviving in the end of the world
{Verse 3]
I never lit up
Even when I've been laid up
I ain't a team player
I'm on my own team, player
When shit would go wrong the label would say -
Focus on your art
I'm 33, I rather focus on not being broke
All I ever wanted was to make an honest living
But it's only honest if I'm honestly living
[Chorus]
This is The Future
I'm the last of a dying breed
I'm D.I.Y
The industry is D.I.E
So what that mean?
Crush and burn
[...]
That's how we surviving in the end of the world
