Kool Keith - White Label Test Press * Lyrics
* bonus track starts 3:11 into track 17[record company flunkie]Yeah i don't think keith's gonna show up to the meeting y'allSee keith's the type of artist to do his own thingThere's no a&r out there that can tell him how to make a recordYou can't tell him he needs to make something like everyone elseCause everyone else is just stealing his originality and ideasAnyway .. i think we should cancel the marketing meeting[kool keith]As a big secret, kevin glickman chill with chrisDon't like jeremy lawnerSo ruffhouse politically had to freeze my albumRegular columbia don't know what the hell is goin onWith a sheisty distribution switch behind my backI worked on my album february last year13 months, passed by, all i heard was a bunch of liesSix weeks in ?? hawkin with a so-called managerUnivested, livin off my budgetMy lp was completed before john forte, sporty thievz and prasBut too many secret fans had they hands in the panWhen i got to philadelphia, everybody was waitin for meWith tracks with a bag full of unconceptual dat'sThrowin me off, distractin me?? ?? came out with programminMe on the basslines, all my beats were slamminNothin they could tell usWhile everybody except tim devine was jealousWith my album leakin out to a bunch of criticsIt was somethin stupid the record companyAnd the scam bookin agent, slash manager didDubbin my cassette for the industry, it got sillyOpinions from people who don't know jack about musicIn the industry, know what?Had to do the album practically overChorus: kool keith (repeat 4x)This is a test pressWhite label test press[kool keith]Back like "return of the jedi"While the average person critiquin my albumMost mc's look at me with red eyesDj's don't understand my sound is too newHe can't feel it on the felt; he say he'll make it a hitIf i give him a rolls royce and a versace beltTake care of program directorsYeah gonna call billboard when y'all send them a mustang fordThen buy a 20-page ad about kool keith headbandsSoap powder's in the source, that'll get me the cover bossEverybody's smallYou're gonna have to buy video shows with washing machinesI got to step up to bat in 3 rivers stadium like the yankeesIn the world series against the big red machineY'all gotta make it work, every video producerY'all gotta send 'em a v-12Cause nobody wants the t-shirt at urban networkBig truck productions need to hire 20 people on the phonesCallin retail; 90 foot pictures of me and my daughterLifts on the side of the buildingHalf of these records are wack cause street teams get paidTo pull out wack snippet tapes out their wack backpacksGet off early with a crew pile up in a suburbanGo to the clubs and get the flats and posters and start servinYeahChorus 1.25x[kool keith]Yeah..
