X-Ray Da Mindbenda ft. B-Wyze - "It's Like That" [Emcee(s): B-Wyze] [Producer(s): X-Ray Da Mindbenda] [Scratches: X-Ray Da Mindbenda] [Hook: B-Wyze] It's like That, that's just the way it is, been like That ever since I been a kid, it's like That. Some things are never gonna change 'til they Fix the education for the young ones' brains [Verse 1: B-Wyze] And if You put that gat in your rhyme, it might sell, but The last two cats on that five both fell, couldn't Separate the rhyme from the real, so they got killed by The songs that they wrote. Now their songs got the deal, touched Plenty on the weight of the place that they went, selling Records like a mug, ain't lived to see a cent, spent What the label said that they'd pay to promote, trying To get the publishing for stuff they ain't wrote. I was Ashamed for a while to tell people I rapped 'cause they Always looked at me like I was packing a gat. Deep down Inside, I always knew the reason, but I always denied why they lied to please him. "For The money or the art?" was the question I asked. People'll Rhyme about anything for that cash. "Can they Relate?" is the ultimate fate of success. Emcees Need to learn that before they be the best. Stress The fact that the flow is intact and never wack, but Y'all don't nothing 'bout that, too busy acting like What y'all rhyme was about instead of rhyming 'bout What your life was about and just that. A golden Rule if you want to survive your next rap: what You say always seems to find its way back. If You say you gonna shoot me, I'm gon' pull out a strap to Assure that I don't get capped—it's like that, like That [Hook: B-Wyze] That's just the way it is, been like That ever since I been a kid, it's like That. Some things are never gonna change 'til they Fix the education for the young ones' brains. It's like That, that's just the way it is, been like That ever since I been a kid, it's like That. Some things are never gonna change 'til they Fix the education for the young ones' brains. It's like That [Verse 2: B-Wyze] And as a matter of fact, if you don't know that The world is gonna always have niggas that's poor, and The ones that got more gonna lock the door 'cause nine Times out of ten, they've been there before. Fo- -reigners got the stores in my hood sewn up, and we Sit back and watch as they start to blow up, working Every day to give all the cream to someone else, growing Up to find out that you got no wealth. Self- -hatred sets in so you beat up the kid to make Sure that they don't do the same as you did. A bid Worth, time served teaches us that. Ain't Nobody gonna do shit for the black, and we React like somebody 'posed to make us rich. When we Look at our woman, all we see is a bitch. The brain Glitch that tells us to kill our own kind. Rewind To slave time, find the tricks of the mind. The blind Leads the blind, pick up a 9 to find trouble, man Visions of the ghetto, bubblegoose, razor stubble and 40-ounce bottle, cigar incised, slumped in A brown paper bag in an expensive ride. Rap Music in the loop melody with verses Arrogant emcees with songs filled with curses The hearses, broke-ass chicks with Coach purses Crying 'cause their best friend man used to give her it The street dog walk into the gold, then its teeth is Looks black from Newports and blunts filled with reefers Po-po, your hood ho with all of them kids, three Baby daddies all locked up, doing bids—it's like That, and if your cannon look back, then do so, but The ghetto ain't a place for a new face, yo—it's like That with a bag of chips and a quarter juice, two Loosies make a dollar, get more for the youths [Hook: B-Wyze] It's like That, that's just the way it is, been like That ever since I been a kid, it's like That. Some things are never gonna change 'til they Fix the education for the young ones' brains. It's like That, that's just the way it is, been like That ever since I been a kid, it's like That. Some things are never gonna change 'til they Fix the education for the young ones' brains. It's like That
