What I Write |
Sometimes I write about the streets and how life is expirin |
Mainly through a choir then |
Neighbors inquirin, hearin shots firin |
Police sirens, been in car chases, I be in Scarface’s tire and |
Snitches per-spirin, cause they wearin wires when |
They know they can be killed by who built the steet empires and |
It’s hard to get a job, cause ain’t nobody hirin |
And more people get laid off, than retirin |
I write about the liar, the preacher with the choir and |
The church who didn’t soul search and never was desirin |
How money’s inspirin, the youth and the environment |
Just tryin to get flyer than the elders they admirin |
Don’t want to be a fireman, cause dealers get you high and |
Spend dough, buy a Benz and furnish they entire den |
Look into my eyes again, see it for yourself |
See the jewel is for your brain, the G is for your wealth |
Sometimes you may hear me writin that next shit |
Different from how some rhyme |
You like it when I write that hit |
You love it when I write that shit |
Sure you do, don’t try to fight that |
So when I hear a beat, an idea appears (suddenly) |
Then another rhyme is written (suddenly) |
I put it down, put it out, you listen to it then it hits your soul |
(suddenly) Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah…) |
Sometimes I write about the ladies, the ones with the tatas and the apple |
bottoms |
They ones I gave the eye highs to when I got on |
Because before they didn’t cherish me |
I write about the smart ones, the ones that need therapy |
Them hoodrat broads, them afrocentric queens |
And them ones that let you get between their jeans for the green |
I wrote about my exes, Takara, Alexis |
To write about the next miss and how great the sex is |
Ones who were sexist, those who throw hexes |
Crack Beckses and ask you were your Lex is |
That baby mama drama, them drama mama babies |
The skeez, the ones who like to tease, but are the maybe’s |
The independent ladies, hookers and them daisies |
The sane ones, the crazies, the straight ones, the gays, deez |
Are women that have been in my life |
Now will it end when I begin with a wife? |
I don’t know |
Sometimes you may hear me writin that next shit |
Different from how some rhyme |
You like it when I write that hit |
You love it when I write that shit |
Sure you do, don’t try to fight that |
So when I hear a beat, an idea appears (suddenly) |
Then another rhyme is written (suddenly) |
I put it down, put it out, you listen to it then it hits your soul |
(Suddenly) Yeah, yeah, one more time, check it out |
Sometimes you may hear me writin that next shit |
Different from how some rhyme |
You like it when I write that hit |
You love it when I write that shit |
Sure you do, don’t try to fight that |
So when I hear a beat, an idea appears (suddenly) |
Then another rhyme is written (suddenly) |
I put it down, put it out, you listen to it then it hits your soul |
(Suddenly) Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah…) |
Sometimes I write about a theme |
From out a motion picture or somethin out a dream |
Or in a chosen scripture, a fictional novel |
The WAIT your alive so |
Like a revival, Jesus and rival |
There’s really no rival |
I’m too diverse, when I do my verse |
You, you, die worse |
Rather rap shit or battle, decoy, slowly rot |
Like it or not boy, it’s gon' be hot |
Street shit, club shit, the flow blow the spot |
Like it or not boy, it’s gon' be hot |
Girl shit, brag shit, your boy knows me not |
If he ever doubts (boy it’s gon' be hot!) (hot) |
Suddenly — repeated until the end |
