Dead Celebrity Status - Nothing in Common Lyrics

Lyrics Nothing in Common - Dead Celebrity Status



I'm anti-sony world.
Though I used to live in it.
Used to walk main stream.
Now I'm taking a piss in it.
Now I'm swimming against the current.
Though they try to box me in.
But I'm in a different world where we don't share the same oxygen.
Rappers inspire me, now I'm feeling the opposite.
"Dead Celeb ain't hip-hop," takin' it as a compliment.
Used to care what critics say, now I'm given a fuck less.
Fames a broken vacuum.
Guess who's suckin at succsess?
Life's a bitch undressed she can rip your heart out.
Whether you are underground or walk the super star route.
Too left for right, too unusual for usual.
The opposite of Drake.
Me? I paint a different musical.
While your portraits corporate.
Born inside a cubical.
My portraits morbid.
Built for the unusual.
Hip-hop's dead, plus I chose to skip the funeral.
Cause common is too ugly.
To me different's beautiful.
You can't stop this rain from pouring down.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
You can't stop this rain from pouring down.
It keeps splashing on me.
I've been in this scheme for years.
It's made me a man only bothered by one thing.
It's me and rap ain't compatible.
She used to be my savoir, now she's just a stranger.
I know life's a bitch, i just really thought i could change her.
Record label danger, Sony tried to play me.
Radio tried to blackball, marketing tried to change me.
Artistry is slavery.
This industry is all day, ever since Prince painted 'slave' across his forehead.
I Used to be a part of it, had my whole heart in it.
Until they broke my will and i was forced to kill the partnerships.
So i had to dissapear on a six year hiatus.
I Came back for the fans.
Could give a fuck about being famous.
I don't want fans who think auto-tunin is hot.
And i don't want fans who think it's somehow cool to get shot.
And i don't want your appluase or that number one spot.
Cause I'm a fuck you hero, like it or not.
You can't stop this rain from pouring down.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
You can't stop this rain from pouring down.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
Down (long)
Remeber Rage Against The Machine told the industry to suck a dick?
And Nick Cage told MTV he did not accept Beatles are bigger than Jesus.
Yes you better believe this black flag representing civil disobediance.
Remember Public Enemy was screaming "Don't belive the hype"?
And NWA brought police brutality to light.
Rappers building a blueprint.
Nirvana started a movement.
There used to be meaning in music.
Now they forgot. Stupid.
It keeps splashing on me, it keeps splashing on me.
You can't stop this rain from pouring down.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
You can't stop this rain from pouring down.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
It keeps splashing on me, It keeps splashing on me.
