Copyridin' - Baba Brinkman

I won’t deny it, I’ve been copyridin'\nGettin' music for free\nIntellectual property\nYou can’t keep software from me\nListenin' to new music is my addiction,\nBut I think I’m never gonna get enough fixes\nSo I guess I’m goin' to prison\nBut until then you can just…\nGo ahead and get it for free\nI probably stole more music in the last four years\nThan has ever been protected federally\nAnd still I try to sell records hypocritically\nI sent 50 Cent a cheque for 50 cents\nAnd ripped everything he ever did off the internet\nBut all I really did was eliminate the middlemen\n‘Cause that’s all he was ever gonna get\nSo I guess I stole from Eminem and Dr. Dre\nBut I stole beats and lyrics from ‘em both anyway\nJust to get the record to play\nAnd if some kid rip this to a mix tape\nThen you’ll never get a leopard to change\nSpots I’m rockin' I’m not expectin' to get paid\nJust at the end of the day, so I’ma step on stage\nWith a grin on my face, ready to give this business away\nWhen I say…\nListenin' to new music is my addiction,\nBut I think I’m never gonna get enough fixes\nSo I guess I’m goin' to prison\nBut until then you can just…\nGo ahead and call the police\nThey’ll probably pull up in a cruiser rockin' downloaded beats\nAnd if you keep it on the down-low with me\nI can sell you some cheap albums with no receipts\n‘Cause ever since I started makin' tracks, I just ain’t had the cash\nTo buy CDs off the rack, and that’s a fact\nBut my original collection is massive\nAnd it was all released pre-2003\nAnd there’s 3000 LPs that really ought to be mine\nBut every CD I buy costs me studio time\nAnd I’ve got songs that need to be recorded\nI swear to God I’d buy music, if I could afford it\nBut my product has gotta be exported\nSo I’ma write some bad cheques to the music biz\nCatch me if you can; I’m an elusive kid\nAnd I’ll pay dues back, if I do get rich\nAnd until then…\nListenin' to new music is my addiction,\nBut I think I’m never gonna get enough fixes\nSo I guess I’m goin' to prison\nBut until then you can just listen
