Lyrics for "I Can't Take It"

Verse 1

They say ignorance is bliss
So can't call it right
Kinda like
Mainstream prototype
Sex all day, sex all night
Yo, so wait a minute?
Let me break it down you hearing
A lot of mumbo jumbo fluff
Also known as fill in
If you are what you eat
Then call me emcee
Cause when I defecate
Take out impurities
Its' like roughage
The same, different production
The ones that hold the budgets
The ones that own the product so,

Bridge 1

Listen to me clearly
This is why they fear me
Pure unadulterated
NC-17
Expose musically
Making me their enemies
The industry wants to get rid of me
Come get me

Hook

I can't take it (Repeat 12x)
I can't take it no more







Verse 2

Listen to satellite or digital
It's critical
Like it or love it
Conditions that you subject to
10, 20, 30 spins a day
For that revenue
Nonsense, make dollars, sound like fool
Or act like tool
Get into, hit you
With one track mind, and a one hit tune
So here's what I'm a do
Vent it out from the mouth
Cause this is all about
What's hip and what's hop, so

Bridge 2

Listen to me clearly
This is why they fear me
Pure unadulterated
NC-17
Expose musically
Making me their enemies
The industry wants to get rid of me
Come get me

Hook (Repeat 12x)

I can't take it
I can't take it no more

Bridge 2 (Repeat 2x)

This is what you want huh
This is what you need
This is what's hot now
I got what you need

Hook (Repeat 12x)

I can't take it
I can't take it no more
