Big Daddy Kane Shame Lyrics:
There's no myth or fable about the pimpin' at your
label What goes on under the table, why you think
your deal is so unstable? Now, whose the macaroni,
A&R's acting phony Once you make the matrimony,
then he start to slackin' don't he Or could it be
the president that's being hesitant Playin' his
artist like a corner workin' specimen And I ain't
kidding you when I say it's political The way they
make a ridicule of artists can be pitiful You know
damn well there shouldn't be no company CO Trying
to show me about rap that's 53 or so But yet and
still they want to add advice, trying to keep
their status right When they should be working
records for Gladys Knight Who shape artists, man
they catching rape charges Once you sign on the
dotted line, they lead you in the blind Then you
find, your state of revenue remains the same Cause
you getting less points than Steve Kerr be getting
in a game And just because it be too hardcore to
judge it They won't even touch it, and get to
frontin' on the budget When new artists come out,
I can foresee the worst outcome Cause everybody I
know got beat their first album So I took my
contract to a lawyer so he can check it out (He
don't know) Then I took it to Dionne Warwick so
she can read my hand (She don't know)

Chorus It's a shame, when artists gotta deal with
cheats They got game, for every young rapper they
see out on the streets You sign your name, they
get like Big Red on the Five Heartbeats Now who
the blame, when you starvin' and your record label
eats

Verse 2 Preach brother They say the truth will set
you free, but I see signs of treachery Go on
perpetually, here's how they get you G They use
the tricks, just to juice your mix But cross be in
their heart like a vampire stabbed with a crucifix
I had the enemy in my vicinity with the false
identity Of a friend to me to injure me They ride

along just to guide you wrong Play like they
beside you strong, and start to faking moves like
Olajuwon Who side you on, revealing all that low
down dirty dealing I can see your skin peeling it
changed like a chameleon First you believe in
them, but once you disagree with them They try to
get Magilla repertoire and that ain't even them
And all those who has betrayed, be fast to fade
Cause they cast a shade, with the masquerade
What's dealt, is low blows below the belt Lord
have mercy, I know how Julius Caesar must have
felt I start to think back when I was just a youth
I should have listened to the words of the God
Born Truth He said, "look out for black snakes
they all up in your cypher Black snakes you can't
see therefore they sneak up and they bite ya'"
They get to flippin' cause they think you slippin'
So remember, don't get to slippin' cause they get
to flippin' And trippin', what's that you
grippin', beside your hippin' You think my heart
is skippin', go save that game for Scottie Pippen

Chorus It's a shame, to see how far left people be
going They got game, to think that all this time
you said you know them It ain't the same, Aah, so
now you see the way they flowin' Now who they
blame, ain't nothing but a wolf in sheep's
clothing

Verse 3 Now, wait a minute, I'm starting to see
lotsa, hip-hop imposters Is rap a category at the
Oscars? Too much Nino Brown up in your life Cause
since then, man I done seen Wesley Snipes playin'
a drag queen But yet and still you want to mimic
the stars of cinema Pretending huh? So full of it
they need an enema Cause see dig, they all like to
talk big But then they want to renege, when
there's a curling iron in their wig You talking
loud and saying nothing, what's the world
becoming? The frontin', now pay attention you may
learn something Now, I ain't knocking you, but
come on let's be logical You know that it's
impossible to stop the unstoppable I would suggest
that they, go back and check my resume Cause tunes
that I made yesterday, can hang out with the best
today Peace to Easy Mo, cause he makes the beats
to flow And I grab the microphone and flip it like
pizza dough

Chorus Shame Now who the blame I need to be the
Mayor, so I can change the things around here I
need to be the Governor, I need to be the Governor
