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.
