[Verse: Papoose]
I lost respect for a lot of my favorite rappers
'Cause I realized that they was just a bunch of actors
This ain't to shed light, this ain't a dark song
This about the craft, I'm speaking about the art form
I ain't care if they had money or they had ice
I was truly a fan of them n***as 'cause they was nice
But now I see them dick riding other rappers for notoriety
Whatever happened to the Dead Poet's Society
They be praising these artists for things that's material
What about reigning supreme, being imperial?
You don't respect an artist, you know has talent
Stays true to the culture, remains silent and valid
But you respect the artist 'cause you think he got cabbage
And you ain't even get to see his account balance
Un-fucking-believable, how childish
You should be ashamed of yourself, embarrassed

[Hook: Papoose]
I'm taking you out of my top five (Why?)
'Cause I now discovered that you not live (Damn)
I'm taking you out of my top five (Why?)
If I don't respect you, then I don't salute you, that's my vibe
I'm taking you out of my top five (Why?)
'Cause I now discovered that you not live (Damn)
I'm taking you out of my top five (Why?)
If I don't respect you, then I don't salute you, that's my vibe
