Sensitive |
| Can’t believe I’m still doing this |
| I thought my political views might ruin this |
| I figured you might’ve moved on to these newer kids |
| My extra, extended hiatuses |
| Who would’ve thought you woulda let me get away with this? |
| I mean, no one’s waiting to see what an aging hater thinks |
| I kinda wanted to be finished |
| I didn’t wanna pull my heart out, let you see in it |
| I just wanna grow privately, be free a minute |
| Plus my soul don’t always have peace within it |
| I tell the truth, but I can see that I’m conceded with it |
| I make a whole lot of mistakes, please don’t be offended |
| I used to have this recurring nightmare |
| I’m on stage with the whole city inside here |
| I start choking and my lungs won’t provide air |
| Then I dropped an album, they reacted to it |
| Started selling out First Avenue |
| Now all the bad dreams I have are that you no longer care for dude |
| (Sample) |
| (Keep in my mind that I’m an artist) |
| (And I’m sensitive about my shit) That’s right |
| (Sensitive about my shit) |
| (Keep in my mind that I’m an artist) |
| (And I’m sensitive about my shit) Say that then |
| (Sensitive about my shit) |
| I love rappers with the big voices |
| They put the power in their lyrics so you live for it |
| And spit it boisterous, the ignorant can’t ignore it |
| I put the preacher’s style in my delivery |
| And I remember vividly somebody tweeted Chuck D |
| And asked him who the best voices are, and he mentioned me |
| I did seven shows a week for like five years |
| And used to scream on that mic to make it sound clearer |
| Now I’m staring down my most profound fear |
| Started catching up with my vocal cords |
| I’m not so sure that I should perform no more |
| Back of my mind, wonder what you’re applauding for? |
| (Sample) |
| (Keep in my mind that I’m an artist) |
| (And I’m sensitive about my shit) Feel like the wrestler |
| (Sensitive about my shit) |
| (Keep in my mind that I’m an artist) Yes ma’am |
| (And I’m sensitive about my shit) |
| (Sensitive about my shit) |
| Huh, flying to New York to do some press |
| I just imagine that these people won’t be too impressed |
| The loot he getting all at once is how they view success |
| But then the writer’s like, «Brother Ali, sir |
| I’ve been so excited just for writing this feature» |
| He asking all these dope questions and did his research |
| And then I meet the editor and staff |
| And everybody got their cell phone camera to flash |
| And a story about how my music helped 'em in the past |
| I gotta ask y’all an honest question: |
| I mean, I’m beyond honored by this warm reception |
| But since you got respect and an obvious connection |
| And every time you bless us with the tiniest little speck |
| Of an online mention, our fans all shower you with affection |
| And just blow up your comment section |
| Well, what the hell, I mean I ain’t complaining |
| But, how come you don’t place us in the hip-hop conversation? |
| They just look back with blank faces |
| (Sample) |
| (Keep in my mind that I’m an artist) |
| (And I’m sensitive about my shit) That joint got awkward fast |
| (Sensitive about my shit) |
| (Keep in my mind that I’m an artist) |
| (And I’m sensitive about my shit) |
| (Sensitive about my shit) |
