The Book Excerpt:

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

It is written: “For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?”

The music industry
a sea of piranhas and sharks
they have devoured the
lives and careers of many musical artists

Sign your name on the dotted line
fortune and death at the end of this road
will you find .

Take the oath of baphomet, sit back, relax,
and all your
dreams
will
unfold

feel your body as it goes from warm to cold
as satan takes control of your soul

The music industry will take you
to the highest of highs
and the lowest of lows

Put money in your pockets with bling-bling jewelry
fancy cars, clothes,
and big-booty-hos

You’ll tour around the world
reaching the pinnacle of fame
and everybody knows your name

as long as you play their game

you can ride this gravy train

But if you betray the oath
a wicked plot to destroy your
image and career
will come like a thief in the night

Try as you may to overcome the battle
in the end you will lose the fight

Like the walls of Jericho went falling
the death sentence will come calling
and in the end it’s all portrayed like a
suicide

So sad
the tragic end of some of the best music artists
the world has ever seen
and heard
on the radio
television
and the movie screen
