Hi-de-ho at five below

I blow through the wind like hair on Fabio

Eavesdrop on the selections of CDs bought

Motivated by what he or she got

Replicas, consumer clones keep carbon copying

Common cliches of corny compositions

Can you call a kid who kicks it kinda prone to receiving

A KUBE 93 complex

All sex-oriented computer-generated jiggy jams jamming the airwaves

Preventing innovative cats from a chance to make it

True talent forsaken, spend the money your making

Supporting quality creations

Simple minds get drawn to simplicity

But not me, I wanna experience genuine creativity

If you can appreciate that theory you could be feeling me

'Cause shoot, we put a lot of time into being original

Not saying that I'm phat or all that but from the heart I rap

And Christ is exulted so what more can I ask for?

Rock on, look kids, the lesson is

I'm not dissing your preferences, I'm just saying, c'mon now

Keep them hands movin' from the right to the left

I take my craft as seriously as a fight to the death

This industry, I stay incensed with it

Wouldn't have that much against it if it were case sensitive

Would you not judge it, if it wasn't so big budget

And would you object to hear your kids repeat it in public

This subject, some won't even touch it, but wait a minute

A computer's monitor only displays the data in it

We wasn't fooled by some new lie

Don't have to light it up like the Fourth of July, to see this mess is ruled by

Past presidents' printed paper portraits

Telecommunications putting satellites in orbit

To control what you see and hear, thus what you think

They don't trust what you think, so they got to know just what you think

But they can't stop the underground movement

Trying to blow it off as a nuisance, but the truth is

Accessible, if not readily digestible

If your palette is accustomed to devouring the detestable

Flesh festival permeating the airwaves

It's time to take it to the next level like a staircase

The ultimate heist, robbing you of Christ

Now is your case a treasure chest, or a mind-control device

What do you purchase, who do you worship

It's a fine line between artist and merchant, it's all about the pesos

Hip hop, rock or jazz, whatever we have

Yo, we be rockin' it, rockin' it as the bass goes...

The bass goes...

Case closed

This is not a dis to those of you

Who support wack music and trend-following crews

Creativity is whatever you think it is

But if everyone's doing it, how creative is it, kid?
