[Chorus]
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (Suckas,✦ you know what I'm sayin')
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (Frontin',✦ man, they are frontin',✦ man)
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (I don't care no more, know what I'm sayin'?)
[Verse 3]
I make records for music,✦ not for the money✦
To some of you that might sound funny✦
But I ain't broke, and I don't joke
And my lyrics✦ are known to make ears smoke
Clear as a gun scope, I speak the pure dope
Can the radio✦ handle the truth? Nope
Uncut,✦ no edits, no censors
You can get a plastic rapper✦ from any✦ ol' dispenser
A penny✦ a yard, to make a record ain't hard
But to make it mean something,✦ that's a job
Then we do it, they refuse✦ it
So I tell them duck suckers✦ to cold go screw it
We shouldn't sell out, we should just yell out
And get them wack motherfuckers✦ the hell out
[Interlude]
Frontin',✦ man
Suckas✦
I don't care no more
You know who they are
[Chorus]
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (Toys, you know what I'm sayin'?)
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (I don't need 'em)
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me
[Verse 4]
Cruisin' down the street, what do I see?
Crash Task Force, LAPD
Gangs illin',✦ wildin'✦ and killin'✦
Hustlers on a roll like they got a million
Girls on the strap and you know that
You know the guys'll stop wildin'✦ if you stop that crap
But you can't, you want money✦ so bad
You'll jock anything✦ with the Gucci tag
You got to have it, so the men go get it
Robbin'✦ and stealin', soon to regret✦ it
Livin'✦ in a jail cell, feelin'✦ like a dumbbell
While you jump the next jock, well
That's reality,✦ that's what I see
Nobody✦ says that you got to agree
Censorship, that ain't the way to be
I thought you said this country was free?
[Chorus]
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (Suckas)✦
Radio✦ suckers✦ never✦ play me (I don't need it)
[Verse 5]
Tone it down is what they say to me
The FCC will not allow✦ profanity✦
Your subject matter's too hard, make a love song
You better✦ get real, come on
I ain't no lover,✦ I'm a fighter
Hardcore radical rap rhyme writer✦
Pushin'✦ the button,✦ E does the cuttin'✦
Everything✦ I say amounts to something✦
More than a simple rap, I'm too deep for that
I lay my lyrics✦ with logic,✦ press the wax
Play it on your tape deck, feel the effect✦
If you can't take the heat, eject✦
But I know you can, 'cause you're an Ice-T✦ fan
No sell-outs here, my man
