Black Ice - Truth Is

"it lies in these midtown Manhattan skyscrapers
where former hustlers sign papers
and do fucked up capers like, 16 infamous stars of the time
They got us choppin and, baggin and
servin that shit to niggaz 16 bars at a time and
The crime is undetectable by the feds
cause in heads of our kids is where the track is
and music shoots straight to the soul it so potent
so it's much more addictive than crack is
Now, the high is just an illusion lies and confusion
But just for dat rush just once, dese young bucks'll go through it
So in essence, they still floodin the streets with the thugs, drugs and killing
They just usin these record labels to do it
Takin our hearts off demos, puttin us in limos
tryin to fuck up our direction
and most niggas is trained to chase money
and pussy, so we fall victim to our own erection"
