  1. Since the major lyrics sites out there must be deaf, I listened to Rakim's verse a few times and here are the correct lyrics though there's still one line I'm 50/50 on.

     

    can ya’ll explain what kind of land is this

    when a man has plans of being rich

    but the bosses' plans is wealthy

    dirty money scheme, a clean split

    nonsense the same, even corporate hands is filthy

    talk team and take the paper route

    all they think about is bank accounts

    assets and realty

    anybody's expense, no shame with a clear conscience

    no regrets and guilt free

    they claim that ain't the way that they built me

    smoke screen before the flame

    know as soon as the dough or the deal peak

    say it's time for things to change

    rearrange like good product rebuilt cheap

    anything if it's more to gain

    drained, manipulated like artists, it's real deep

    until no more remains, but I'm still me

    like authentic hip-hop and rock, to pop and radio

    and record companies killed me

    try to force me to stray and obey

    they got the gall to say how real can real be

    you feel me, you will see

    the green will be to blame

    greedy for the fame, TV or a name, media, the game

    to me you're all the same

    you're guilty

     

    EDIT: corrected based on Astat's post below but kept subtle differences in how I heard it vs "official" lyrics.
