Fuck The Industry lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'll never be picture perfect Beyonce

Fly like J-Lo or singing Baby like 'Shanti

I barely comb my hair, yeah, that's on a good day

I don't care what the hood say

I ain't street like Keyshia, ain't never tried to be

And I got soul in my soul but not quite like Mary

Ain't nothing really R&B about me

And I say bump what the hood say

I'm sorry I ain't in the Benzes in my videos

I'm sorry I ain't even really trying to match my clothes

I can tell you paid a figure for McQueen dibs

But I can also tell you who the King dealer is

And I got knowledge if you really want to talk about it

No, I don't trust the crowd just to walk around it

So I'm writing the letter to the industry

It says "Fuck you, signed sincerely"

[Hook]

Aww, yeah

Here we go again

Solo, can you tone it down? Be more like them

But everything I'm not makes me everything I am

Aww, yeah

Ooh, here we go again

People talking shit but when the shit hits the fan

Everything I'm not makes me everything I am

[Verse 2]

I'm not a goody-goody, so I don't watch my mouth like I'm a goody-goody

But I appreciate the ones who rooting for me

'Cause everybody gon' gone, got an opinion, baby

And I been feeling lately like I can't help it

Big up haters, if you don't like it, I didn't make it for you ooh, ooh (You ooh, ooh)

I'm not apologetic, if you don't like it, it's probably 'cause you don't get it

And you can tell the world that you heard I said it

And I ain't talking about me, I'm talking 'bout the ones who represent what I believe

The fresh kids, the what comes next kids

The see you at the art exhibit, oh, hell yes kid

The politic kids, the be your thing and declare your independence kids

If I'm a vote for something, I'm a go Barack the vote this year

I'm talking 'bout the ones who said enough

The I got too much I don't give a what in my cup

The I don't care what the next man is saying

I'm just saying to the industry, this is fuck you, signed sincerely

[Hook]

Oh, yeah

Oh, here we go again

People talking shit but I don't give a damn

Everything I'm not makes me everything I am

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Oh, here we go again

People talking shit with no pot to piss in

But everything I'm not is everything I can

[Outro]

I can do anything

I remember the Doc saying, "What you gon' do? Girl, you 17"

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

'Ye ripped on this track, made it into a jam

I just borrowed it just to tell you who I am

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
