When I first stepped on the scene
DJs were petrified (hahahaha)
I speak the truth and everybody knows
When you press play, its educational
They wanna shut me down with their fucking popo
Restrict me from their radio
They still hear me on the Rez though
Want five percent but they still said no
Plug your ears, close your eyes
Everybody wonder whyyy?
Program Directors want a circus show
Don’t play music that expose the facts
Yeah, we all know, we all know
Indigenous truth always gets the axe
Cover the truth, close your eyes
Restrict me from the radio
Government sad, I hurt their pride
Restrict me from the radio
Promoter’s mad, keep me outside
Restrict me from the radio
I don’t care, how much you try
Restrict me from the radio
I rather be mean than part of your scene
Hurt your feelings on the audio stream
Old ass bigots on the program team
Same damn music, y’all know what I mean
Jury judges voting with the bias opinion
Making little side deals for the decision
Satisfy their friend list, they little minions
Selling out the art form, keep their positions
Where da Native play? Where da quota?
Not one percent from the audio-controlla
What? You gonna ban me, he’s a bad injun
Radio puppet, I won’t listen
Queb Hip Hop, no place for the red man
Made it clear, for me to understand
Surrounded by, power abusers
Fucken sellouts, that’s what the truth is
Cover the truth, close your eyes
Restrict me from the radio
Government sad, I hurt their pride
Restrict me from the radio
Promoter’s mad, keep me outside
Restrict me from the radio
I don’t care, how much you try
Restrict me from the radio
Real Rez hop, you cannot stop
Real Rez hop, you cannot stop
Song description:
This song is about the music industry, the radio stations and how it’s all about politics, friendships and ass kissing. These dirt bags are killing art and I want them all to know that I don’t respect them, I don’t fear them and I will always do exactly what I want to do without a care in the world of how they feel about me.
