Ol’ Dirty Bastard
I (EYE)
That's the thing: Be original, you know?
That's why we throw little things out there like that just to see if they would catch on to it and how many people would catch on to it so people could see it
But it's like sometimes I start to think the Hip Hop audience ain't that intelligent sometimes you know? Where they don't pick up on it
Because they let the corniest shit get the most airplay, you know what I mean?
The most unconscious shit get the most airplay, it's like what the fuck is wrong with y'all?

It's the government! It's the government!

And then run up on talking 'bout "Keep it real"
Don't run up on me sayin' keep it real if you ain't supporting the real, you know what I'm saying?
Bottom line

The government brainwashed our people with the Mind Control theory
That's what they do
So, to make sure our people like it, they keep playing that same song
Them same songs keep playin' and you start to like 'em, you start to get cloned with it
(You get programmed, you get programmed)
You start to get cloned with it
Therefore, the clone exists and it just takes over
It takes over the Human body
It takes over the Spirit
It takes over the Soul
And there forth, behold
It's what you got
That's why Dirty is here
Dirty is here just to keep it dirty
Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty where we all come from
That's why a lot of this Hip Hop shit is just copycats
'Cause it's like these people are watchin', they're watchin' shit
You may broaden your shit and get a bigger audience
But make sure that your mentality stays direct and on the straight and narrow
'Cause a lot of people can easily be led in the wrong direction
It's hard to be led in the right- you know?
