[Hook]
Can I just pour my heart out about all of these dark trials
And tribulations I'm facing, trying to make it famous I say
Can I just pour my heart out about trying to get in this music business

[Verse: Demetrius]
Okay I'm thinkin' my family's cursed when it comes to this motherfucking music industry
Between my mother and my brother's history, we've just been struggling for half a century
Physically, mentally, spiritually, lyrically; we just been trapped yo
It's a fact yo
Before we was knocking on raps do', my mother knocked all on the back do'
That's the do' that go way back, I mean way back and that date back
Before 8-tracks got played out, they came out to see C-A
Trying to get they name out, that fame route
My mother plus her identical twin, they picked up a pen
They signed to a record label that was able to give em' a spin
Now they finally signed and they glad they made it
Out to Hollywood and they fascinated
By the glitz and glamor but then they manager and CEO just got assassinated
Now it's getting real, no more record deal
And they feeling cursed with their feelings hurt
And it's getting worse cause she's giving birth to two sons; Gift and Curse
That's Mad Man and that's Crooked yup
They followed in my mother's footsteps
Put together a brotherly rap group, but they got into it and then Crooked left
Now Crooked repping that C.O.B
Mad Man is repping that U.N.G
See music is breaking my brothers up and that fucking suck but that's true indeed
And when it comes to this rap industry my older brothers don't get the respect they deserve
I'm guessing they cursed, and yes we inherit the curse, my brothers ain't never been first
But the Shoe Gang ain't never been served
We veterans with every word
We can teach Drake and Wayne a thing or two
Teach J Cole how to better his verse
I can teach Nas how to ride a beat
I can tweak Pac's philosophy's
I can teach Socrates, I can preach about Christian hypocrisy
Tell Jay Z and Shady the new Rap God MC is me
But they probably won't see me because I'm cursed obviously
