Gun Runners Lyrics

Cover art for Gun Runners lyrics by 50 Cent

Man, I love this rap game mainly cause it's cool To add a little spice to the life you've been through Everyone exaggerates a tiny little bit Make that shit sound more gangster than it really is

Let me tell you something that I realized tonight Hip-hop radio's like Marlboro Light They're both selling stories and they sound about the same Cigarettes say they're safe, rappers claim they really bang We don't care if it's true when we lay the money down We don't believe the words, we just love the way they sound They're acting we're like idiots, they're lying to our face Maybe we are idiots, we buy it anyway

^ THAT is the rap music industry summed up. Cause anyone who believes that 50 Cent 'caps as many niggas' as he claims to, we all know he'd be doing 25 to life right now. People take the lyrics and bullshit that rap puts out believing its true. But in truth, its all lies. Real rap is strong, talks about the REAL issues. Fort Minor, K-os, and more rap groups are realizing that it doesn't have to be 'gangsta' to be good! Fuck 50 Cent until he starts singing about music that's worth listening to. Unfortunately I doubt he has the capacity, ability, or awareness to spot the issues to write about and making songs worth listening to.
