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'all See
Keith's the type of artist to do his own thing There's
no A&are out there that can tell him how to make a record You
can't tell him he needs to make something like everyone else Cause
everyone else is just stealing his originality and ideas Anyway
I.. think we should cancel the marketing meeting [Kool

Keith] As
a big secret Kevin, Glickman chill with Chris Don't
like Jeremy Lawner So
Ruffhouse politically had to freeze my album Regular
Columbia don't know what the hell is goin on With
a sheisty distribution switch behind my back I
worked on my album February last year 13
months passed, by all, I heard was a bunch of lies Six
weeks in Hawkin?? with a so-called manager Univested
livin, off my budget My
lp was completed before John Forte Sporty, Thievz and Pras But
too many secret fans had they hands in the pan When
I got to Philadelphia everybody, was waitin for me With
tracks with a bag full of unconceptual dat's Throwin
me off distractin, me Came
?? ?? out with programmin Me
on the basslines all, my beats were slammin Nothin
they could tell us While
everybody except Tim Devine was jealous With
my album leakin out to a bunch of critics It
was somethin stupid the record company And
the scam bookin agent slash, manager did Dubbin
my cassette for the industry it, got silly Opinions
from people who don't know jack about music In
the industry know, what Had?
to do the album practically over Chorus

Kool: Keith (repeat 4X) This

is a test press White
label test press [Kool

Keith] Back
like "Return of the Jedi" While
the average person critiquin my album Most
mc's look at me with red eyes Dj's
don't understand my sound is too new He
can't feel it on the felt he; say he'll make it a hit If
I give him a Rolls Royce and a Versace belt Take
care of program directors Yeah
gonna call Billboard when y'all send them a Mustang Ford Then
buy a 20-page ad about Kool Keith headbands Soap
powder's in The Source that'll, get me the cover boss Everybody's
small You're
gonna have to buy video shows with washing machines I
got to step up to bat in 3 Rivers Stadium like the Yankees In
the World Series against the Big Red Machine Y'all
gotta make it work every, video producer Y'all
gotta send 'em a V-12 Cause
nobody wants the t-shirt at Urban Network Big
Truck productions need to hire 20 people on the phones Callin
retail 90; foot pictures of me and my daughter Lifts
on the side of the building Half
of these records are wack cause street teams get paid To
pull out wack snippet tapes out their wack backpacks Get
off early with a crew pile up in a suburban Go
to the clubs and get the flats and posters and start servin Yeah
Chorus
