Stop Complaining |
Back beginning in college, and it’s been a minute since then |
But the principal challenge, it ain’t really that different |
It’s about me not repeating myself at all |
Or at least repeating myself the least amount possible |
The reason being is that we need some songs |
That lead us off the beaten path between my rhymes |
But listen though, it’s difficult nowadays |
To really go against the grain, get you some accolades |
Especially with these frigid, finicky, fickle-ass motherfuckers |
Think they finally figured you out, the fake-ass fuckers |
Stop complaining (I know, it’s just that certain shit pisses me off) |
Stop complaining (What am I gonna do? I mean) |
Man, fuck that shit, I pay my taxes when I’m asked to |
I’m not enthusiastic about it, but shit I make it happen |
Yeah, it’s last minute, but goddammit they cash it |
«This is fiscal harassment! |
They keep touching my assets!» |
Now I imagine I might be feeling different about it |
If it was given outright, witnessing it helping somebody |
But it just so happens in life, the school district’s too crowded |
There ain’t no teachers in sight, that’s why the kids are so rowdy |
I just imagine some asshole with glasses on up at the capital |
One of a thousand pawns packed in an office, cramped up like animals |
Pictures of his sister, his mixture Lhasa Apso poodle |
His 2.6 kids and the missus thumb-tacked to his cubicle |
So damned detached from the average man’s planet he can’t fathom |
That we can ever be anything other than stats, fat and taxable |
He’s getting his usual, ritual two o’clock cup of noodles on |
Fucking you with your W-2, with his John Denver music on |
«Hey, umm… Ooh, I love this one. |
Hey Lil? |
Can you get me the file on…» |
«Blah blah blah blah blah?» |
«Yeah, he’s making a little too much money» |
Stop complaining (I know, ladies, it’s just) |
Stop complaining (I'm trying, I’m really trying) |
Stop complaining (Yeah I know, let’s give it) |
Stop complaining (I wonder what do they say about me?) |
Is he a role model we can all follow full throttle |
So we don’t bother having to create our own model |
That we go by — A fall guy I can hold accountable? |
'Cause I don’t want to hold the bottle for my own child |
Is it really my place to raise little Billy |
When Hilly and William should be building with him in the living room |
Instead of bailing on him, alienating him, basically failing him |
Sending him sailing on a mission to oblivion? |
Then, inevitably on his day in court and Billy ain’t to blame |
The bailiff asks him to raise his arm and say his name in court |
Of course his parents ain’t in court, they play it off |
Saying it ain’t his fault |
Blame it on Asia Born or his favorite artist |
Beg your pardon? |
Now, I do admit that in the music business |
People do and say some really stupid shit |
Kids are zooming in and using what we do and say |
I can see how you can say «Do not abuse your influence» |
But to all the Hillaries and the Williams of the new millennium |
If you really aren’t feeling if living with the children will be a fulfilling |
experience |
Or something you envision yourself willingly |
And unconditionally committed to from the beginning |
Maybe you shouldn’t be bumping bellies from the giddyup anyway, dummy |
Stop complaining (Well, for now) |
Stop complaining (Man, you stop complaining) |
Stop complaining |
Stop complaining (Whatever) |
