So Many Rappers

So many rappers have come and gone
 I guess this rap game has really done them wrong
 So many rappers tryin' to get their name out
 Many got caught up for just havin' their chain out
 So many rappers couldn't handle showbiz
 While I'm steady rockin', so you know what it is
 So many rappers made this their dream
 Then quickly, most have disappeared from the scene
 So many one-hit wonders, it's like a spin of the wheel
 You know I stay consistent and get it in for real
 So many rappers wanna rock like this
 But they got no stamina and they don't talk like this
 Plus I've learned to avoid the traps
 I truly love this shit, that's word to MTV Raps
 They'll get their little run and have a little fun
 Some'll go for popularity, to a little, then to none
 Some'll get jacked 'cause they floss too much
 Others'll leave the game 'cause they lost too much
 Some got bodied before they were totally on
 It's like when keepin' it real goes totally wrong
 Some get beat by managers, and shiesty execs
 Others are brainwashed by their unlikely success
 Well, I have proven time and time again
 That I'm built to last, so watch me shine again
 So many rappers have come and gone
 I guess this rap game has really done them wrong
 So many rappers tryin' to get their name out
 Many got caught up for just havin' their chain out
 So many rappers couldn't handle showbiz
 While I'm steady rockin', so you know what it is
 So many rappers made this their dream
 Then quickly, most have disappeared from the scene
 Many had major deals, big money and all that
 On 106 & Park, in magazines and all that
 So many had all that, so how did they fall flat?
 That's why my motto has always been to just fall back
 And watch the whole circus go by, I'm that guy
 As soon as I appear on the scene, nigga, it's shy
 So many pranksters with so many gimmicks
 Wonder where they're at now, probably somewhere lookin' timid
 It's all madness, there's too many to count
 Everybody and their mom wanna rap, no doubt
 Many come out with a bang, and their own new slang
 Then end up back in the hood without a goddamn thing
 Some make noise, they hit the top of the charts
 Still, the shit that I kick will be stoppin' they hearts
 So many rappers in search of fame
 And most'll be lucky if we remember their names
