I Download - Jin

This goes out to all my DSL users, cable modems

No 56k's, ya’ll heard?

I download music

I don’t buy music

No way jose, unless it’s my music

I ain’t been in the record store in a minute

My ipod got like a million songs in it

I download music

I don’t buy music

No way jose, unless it’s my music

I ain’t been to a record store in a minute

My ipod got like a million songs in it

Last time I bought a CD was in 89'

Aight, I’m lyin'

But, yo, it’s been a long time

Nowadays, I just go online

See what I like, right ‘click‘, and that song’s mine

It ain’t the fact I wanna see the artist cryin‘

There is just not even coming out worth buying

If I hear a song on the radio, that I like

I make sure I log on later in the night

Limewire, bearshare, maybe kazaa

I type it in and click search and «haha!

There you are!»

Ain’t no escaping, if you try

Cuz' my modem is quicker than a blink of an eye

Illegal downloadin' is a criminal offense

Ain’t saying I do it

I just say that’s how it went

Rappers swear their shit is hot

But I won’t spend a cent

You ain’t getting my twelve dollars until I’m fully convinced

I download music

I don’t buy music

No way jose, unless it’s my music

I ain’t been in the record store in a minute

My ipod got like a million songs in it

I download music

I don’t buy music

No way jose, unless it’s my music

I ain’t been to a record store in a minute

My ipod got like a million songs in it

My iTunes account, shit, I never use it

I just use my iTunes to store all of my music

Remember before the internet was here

Before CD’s when cassettes was all you hear

Had to switch from A side to B side

Now all you gotta do is your MP3's ride

But it’s not just the computer nerds doin it

Leaving it up to bootleggers to ruin it

I use to love the feelin‘

Rushing to the store

Picking up a CD that no body heard before

To all you rappers your hard work is through

The Chinaman, The Africans is got your art work too

Killing any anticipation you might of built

Listen clown, mess around and you might get killed

I bet you, you believe I’m hot

When I a get album number of the month, months before my album even dropped

I download music

I don’t buy music

No way jose, unless it’s my music

I ain’t been in the record store in a minute

My ipod got like a million songs in it

I download music

I don’t buy music

No way jose, unless it’s my music

I ain’t been to a record store in a minute

My ipod got like a million songs in it

See, I ain’t trying to be labeled as a thief

I’m just picky with my music, plus I’m kinda cheap

Don’t worry about what I do on my first week

I just listen to the rhymes and appreciate the beats

I’m trying to have a smash from the net to the streets

Without snapping my fingers or stomping my feet

That stuff is great, but I’m just not able

To do the same thing I’m trying to bring something different to the table

Last week my PC damn near exploded

Cuz from some bullshit I accidentally I downloaded

I’m not hating

I just don’t like trash, damn it

And if yourself is trash, that’s exactly where I drag it

Right in the trash bin

Cuz you are a ‘has been'

Delete you off from my hard drive.

«Hey, that’s Jin»

Next time you see me on MTV

Shout out to my homeboy, «waddup MP3!»
