LYRICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­--------


Yeah y'all, sneaking in the back door
Is a man with a nation behind him, you want war
Everybody telling me to chill back with all the
Fuck mainstream smack talk, but what does it really mean?
When half of these rappers lying, they're dying to be accepted
So weapons, women and money are part of their verbal lessons
For real, they got the same slang, brag about the same cars
Got a little swag, right? Spitting all the same bars
It's the rise of the individual, conditions are critical
Masses, smashing hypocritical
Mythical bull, typical, studied the rap schemes
So how in the living hell is Young Money a real team?
When, they all rhyme about their women and their cash flow
The same bullshit emitted from different assholes
I shouldn't say it, but I'm praying for a miracle
Feel it in the spirit and hear it within my syllables

(HOOK)
Fuck these clones, everybody knows
That we're coming to rock, baby start the show
Say fuck the mainstream
FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!
Fuck the mainstream
FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!

Stand up, anthem, everybody rise
We're all coming together to grab the real prize
Say fuck the mainstream
FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!
Fuck the mainstream
FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!

They say Dre, why you hating on the game
Why you saying that every rapper today is so lame
Nah, it's my opinion, just the way that I feel
Baby, so fuck a radio spin, fuck a record deal
If I gotta be just another facsimile
Of other musical entities, while emulating my enemies
Please, fuck a Waka Flocka Flame
I'm a microphone rocker so fuck a dollar and a name brand
Car, clothes, money and hoe dealing
A sound, leaving my head spinning around feeling
The ground, I'm underneath it, leaking flow
I got the heart of a demon, Jesus knows
Resuscitating the art of it, all of it
Instead of focus on marketing an image, they only star in it
Goddamn it, it's bigger than rap
It's really about breaking free of the reason we're all trapped

(HOOK)

The media is feeding us people they can easily see
Appealing to masses, class is in session
That's why we have trends, autotune, soul beats
Hard core, music is nothing unless the soul speaks
So I maintain my individuality, they say
I need to bring it back to reality
Nah, what I'm bringing to the table is
Just a part of my life so yeah I'm willing and able
To expose the fakeness, photoshop rap
Readjusting your image, you bitches are off track
Like bad weaves, or athletes, building a foundation
Aint it a shame, we're so divided and then we're now waiting
To be saved, bringng back the lyricism
Returning the art, I'll trade it for all your cynicism
So just listen, we can do it together to stay free
Say it with me, yo, fuck the mainstream

(HOOK)

  • ... if only this was the rap music that people were listening to, I wouldn't be so prejudiced against the rap/hip-hop culture. You're right, for those people it's all about the image, the trend and style of feeling cool, there's no emotional connection with the music..one day the average person will be exposed to real music like this, music with feeling and essence behind it, and then our culture won't be so god damned stupid. Thanks for making real and good music, good luck!

  • I wouldn't exactly call myself a rap/hip-hop fan, but damn every song I've heard from you is serious badassery! Good stuff, lots of respect, TTTT!

see all

  • You should make a video about Athene going for President of YouTube! :D

  • Awesome stuff man!

  • Hey Dre, just in case you don't read the wall post I put up, it's seriously fucking badass that you put your music out there for free. I have this song on repeat, it's been there for three hours at least. The free music helps us who aren't so well off enjoy music...and this, THIS is music.
