Well, you've got the gangsta rappers cruising in their low riders They're kitted out by the very best designers Got all the booty women and they're tripping with ice A car turns the corner and they gotta look twice
Boy bands practicing their dance moves They're looking so smooth They're looking so cool They have a stylist to tell them what to do and say What to sing and play They'll be broken up soon anyway
Some suck Some rock Tough shit You've made your bed now you'll lie in it
Well you've got your drug squad singing about taking up and tweaking The only problem, they practice what they're preaching They wrote a killer tune Hit the big time real soon Till they find the singer dead in a hotel room
Nu-metal kiddie acting so tough No one else is good enough Grew up on the streets rough When in reality went to a private school Never broke a single rule He's acting bad so he looks cool
It's just the price they have to pay
Every now and then there's a person like Bob Marley Someone that you wanna see Wish he was still around today For me that's Sublime and Bradley Think it's such a same that I'll never see that man play
Ska punk's just a big joke Just upsets folk Gets stuck in their throat Well if ska punk's just a big joke Just upsets folk Well that's the price we wanna pay
