This song is about desire for control and creativity in music, with some critique of materialism and phony bureaucracy, especially in the entertainment industry.
lyrics
re: Create
Don't hate
Just make
Let's we be great
reCreate
Please don't hate
Beat remake
Yet still we great
Create
We've got abilities of kings–scratch that
We've got abilities of gods
Creativity, express yourself
Don't follow crowds, it's better to be a slob
Industry crackahs should just let me rap
Or I'll take thei'r desk job and wreck that
You're a middle man I do not respect that
I've done every role and that exec crap
Songwriter, mixer, director of art
Video editor, bitch I've played all parts
Gesamtkunstwerk, I'ma take it that far
I won't settle till I design my house and cars
These crackers ain't ready for Jack
They want stupid artist, and I'll never be that
Son of a hedge fund, ready to rap
On top of the system, exposing the crap
On top of the system, exposing crap
Mystery
What we express is this mystery
Are we more impressed by materialism
Or more impressed by creativity
Mystery
What we express is this mystery
Are we more impressed by materialism
Or more impressed by creativity
Create
Don't hate
Just make
Let's we be great
reCreate
Please don't hate
Beat remake
Yet still we great
Mix and remix mixtapes like coke
Cook em into crack that's Jack of Co.Z
I been questing God
Nice to see you done catched up Hov
These crackahs thought I should'a said caught
It's all about the art, so I'll do what I 'ought
I'll do what I want, sell you what y'all bought
You can take that crap home, hope you like it real lots
Question the hand that feeds you
But mean no disrespect
I'm just showing my view so you can see too
How many perspectives do you collect?
When you inspect…reflect
Before you feel correct
Be creative, look at it all ways
Keep climbing, there ain't no final step
Keep climbing, there ain't no final step
Mystery
What we express is this mystery
Are we more impressed by materialism
Or more impressed by creativity
Mystery
What we express is this mystery
Are we more impressed by materialism
Or more impressed by creativity
Create
Don't hate
Just make
Recreate
Create
Don't hate
Just make
Let's we be great
