Chorus:

Let the horns come out

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring out

Let the horns come out

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring now

Let the horns come out

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring now 

Like I'm whoring now

I see the people look at me like

 

Verse 1:

A professional prostitute is an artist that's paid

Tell me music's only pure when you make minimum wage

They be saying I'm a sellout when I'm stepping on stage

Placing artists in their genre like a prisoner's cage

But here's the mistake, we all be bound by fate

The concept of hiphop being pure is intrinsically ridiculous 

Superficial, pretentious and fake

Cause when Herc stopped making beats you claiming it's pure

I'm just saying that shit'll make you insecure

I'm just saying this that shit'll make y'all carnivores

Now, you become the shit that you once deplored

Enforcing your perspective like conquistadors, but fuck it

Hiphop was the coming of Christ

After the 80s he died, his disciples denied 

But we all Peter and we Thomas with corrupted thoughts

We all giving our own meanings to what we lost

But now we splintered and we've broken in tribes 

You got mumbling motherfuckers and the most conscious of minds

You got some people who whine, you got some people who trying

You got some people who are happy to be concubines

You got G's who stay violent like Muay Thai in Thailand

I'm feeling like the Variant, the baddest gladiator in the island 

The mouthpiece of the South East

I'm educating, always debating, syllabicating every cadence

I've ever lambasted in your direction, no correction

I meant what I said, I don't pretend who I am bitch

Fight against the system just to make a grand

We all cypher in the summer while we smoke a gram

None the greater, none the wiser

So pass the music like a spliff and you can be the lighter

Ignite the fire, admire what we lost

But don't spread hate around just to garner applause, that's weak

 

Chorus:

Let the horns come out 

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring out

Let the horns come out 

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring now

Like I'm whoring now

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring out

Like I'm whoring now

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring now

 

Verse 2:

Before I go, I gotta message for my people

We looking at the person but we focusing on ego

Back then, we focused just to gather information

But now we consume it all like Aliens in the station

I'm just saying it's causing a lot of devastation

I ain't negative about it, I'm just trying to be patient

I recognize we got problems that we should be facing

I see that now after rehabilitation

In the lab, all I need to do is work

Focusing on my semantics like a language nerd 

I hear the 7th on the C like the pianist heard

I see the cure and the disease but these lines are blurred

Need a vaccine, for these bad dreams, 

My maxim is to always question what art means, like Rakim 

I ain't gon sweat, just let my conscious run free

Cause another man's nightmare's another man's dream

 

Chorus:

Let the horns come out

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring out

Let the horns come out

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring now

Like I'm whoring now

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring out

Let the horns come out

I see the people look at me like

Like I'm whoring now

Like I'm whoring now

Like I'm whoring out

I see the people look at me like I'm whoring out
