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) |
