If Rap Gets Jealous |
| So good things comes for those wait, sure |
| I’ve waited about pop pop pop pop |
| That’s four cousins shot |
| I got grudges, let’s discust this |
| My music needs no touch ups |
| I got a long record of fuck ups, trust me |
| You don’t know who has this weight of mine, |
| Or a life as hard as mine |
| I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind |
| Whatever you wanna call it is fine, |
| But just listen |
| And don’t prejudge |
| I don’t want anyone dissmissin' me as another thug or some shit like that |
| No sir, if I fall I will get right back |
| I got circumstances, but let me stop dancin' around the issue |
| And tell you straight forward, I’m poor |
| A refugee been in prisson and survived the war |
| I come from the most dangerous city in this universe |
| You’re likely to get shot at birth |
| So how could rap quench my thirst? |
| ! |
| I don’t even hear verses no more! |
| I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses! |
| I don’t see nobody operating shit anymore I see nurses! |
| Fuck that! |
| I’m gonna stay alive! |
| I’d rather do a stage dive! |
| And if rap gets jealous |
| 'cause I rock heavy |
| It don’t worry me if motherfuckers don’t get it |
| Yo if rap gets jealous |
| 'cause of where I’m headed |
| I used to be public enemy, don’t forget it |
| And if rap gets jealous, 'cause rock heavy |
| It don’t worry me if motherfuckers don’t get it |
| Yo if rap gets jealous |
| 'cause of where I’m headed |
| Aggression! |
| Obsession! |
| With pain! |
| Live a game! |
| So yeah |
| Basically I gotta realease, occasionaly |
| I gotta let you know what’s goin' on with me |
| And facing me, 'are some tough choices |
| I got a good side and bad side, inside my head |
| I hear screams and loud voices |
| And I can’t lie I ain’t got shit, I ain’t got to brag, |
| I’m hard pressed for some cash to send to my I’ll dad |
| You’re so superficial?, of course it’s for shizzle? |
| Now my choice is to piss on you, boy |
| 'Cause my mission is the world |
| To know, my name, my aim, is plainly success |
| But I still gotta come fresh! |
| So how could rap quench my thirst? |
| ! |
| I don’t even hear verses no more! |
| I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses! |
| I don’t see nobody operating shit anymore I see nurses! |
| Fuck that! |
| I’m gonna stay alive! |
| I’d rather do a stage dive! |
| That’s what it is, it’s pain, you know what I’m saying? |
| I don’t know man it’s like |
| You spend years developing your artistry |
| Know what I’m sayin'? |
| Perfecting your skills |
| Yeah, you can’t do shit with it, |
| That has gotta be Fucked up!, know what I’m sayin'? |
| That’s gotta be Fucked up, you know |
| Just imagine like, imagine you build a Fuckin' castle |
| And you can’t live in it, That’s what it is |
| You can’t live it, you know |
| And you got problems, you got family |
| I got family, moment of truth right? |
| And I still gotta come fresh! |
| So how could rap quench my thirst? |
| ! |
| I don’t even hear verses no more! |
| I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses! |
| I don’t see nobody operating shit anymore I see nurses! |
| Fuck that! |
| I’m gonna stay alive! |
| I’d rather do a stage dive! |
| And if rap gets jealous, 'cause rock heavy |
| It don’t worry me if motherfuckers don’t get it |
| Yo if rap gets jealous |
| 'cause of where I’m headed |
| Aggression! |
| Obsession! |
| With pain! |
| Live a game! |
