Just For The Radio

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo E, man, we got a lot of explicit lyrics on our album, you know what I'm sayin' G? And there's some think we can't come clean with no profanity, you know what I'm sayin'? So drop the funky rhymes so this one can get played on the radio And keep it clean so people will know how versatile you are, you know what I'm sayin'? So do me a favor, kick it [Verse 1] It never ever bother me to come clean with it But there are times when I gotta come mean with it I never thought about sellin' out I make the jams that's funky and then I bail out, huh I'm hardcore with an edge, makin' lyrics hit I'm never comin' with no weak wack topics I'm sayin' things that the media hates to hear Rap is losin' its roots and I'm scared Give me an inch and I'ma take a mile I had to show these trick mark rappers that I'm versatile It's not about I'm always comin' with profanity But when I do, a lot of suckers get mad at me I drop rhymes with a hella deep concept You get pissed 'cause I had to express myself So I changed the pace and got the flow (Why did you do it, E?) Just for the radio [Chorus] ("Radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") ("I'm on", "Suckers never play me") [Verse 2] The Ski has changed his style, that's what the people say 'Cause they heard me on the radio the other day Yellin' I forgot about the damn underground I brought the ground up so they can hear the sound I couldn't stick to one level of rappin', G I had to make it so everybody could hear me I hear MC's that rap on the radio And then some of them got their own damn rap show A bunch of rappers rappin' a freestyle Every Friday, they get the same airplay But can they sell on GP to the urban race? I don't think so, so cancel their damn show I get tired of the same damn routine Of punk rappers doing the same damn thing Give me a break if you're not a true MC I know you, but you play like you don't know me I give a damn 'cause you signed a major record deal 'Cause if I see you, only if looks could kill You walk by like we owe you the most respect It takes all I got not to break your neck My homie C said chill and let that go 'Cause a sucker like that would fall right on his back I'm tryin' hard not to cuss on this jam, you know (Don't do it, E, you know it's for the radio) [Chorus] ("Radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") ("Suckers never play me") [Verse 3] Call me a MC that can hang with the best of them I never ever wanted to sound like her or him I got styles that'll make the Ski second to none And keep 'em loaded like a 9 millimeter gun Poppin' lead in a sucker that wants some funk And keep the MAC-10, rhymes and gat in my trunk And oh yeah, the one two is in the house Ready to make the hit and takin' no nonsense So drop it down on the one, C I'm doing pretty good without using profanity Some thought I wouldn't make it through the jam, huh But let me tell you the hell I am I'm the capital E-A-S-K-I Ski CMT, my DJ's on the side of me This ain't your everyday rap group, G I know you're glad to hear a decent MC Payin' dues is what it takes for a lyricist Don't just jump on the mic and just do it We all know who's fake and who's real, so Stop perpetratin' like you're gettin' the flow That's why rap's kinda dyin' out And when you hear a MC like me, I be cryin' out The only way that I can let everybody know Is to come clean just for the radio [Chorus] ("Radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") Just for the radio ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") And I'm out ("Suckers never play me") [Outro] ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") ("I'm on the radio", "I'm on the radio") ("I'm on the radio", "Suckers never play me")
