I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in
No excuses I'm learnin' how to lose 'cause That's the only way to fine tune and make improvements Critics keep on chippin' in their two cents But they got their record for free- shoot- Nowadays music's like sewage, nasty and polluted Over saturated I don't want nothin' to do with it So when they ask the question who my influence is I go back to the 90s and tell 'em Brand Nubian Gave radio a shot but got fooled again All it is is a bunch of hootin' hollerin' hooligans Cryin' like babies, actin' like they two again Pardon my rudeness but ya ruined my mood I don't just Do this for food there's more to it than the music So I got be intuitive to use this Gift, it's like fluid when it oozes But writers block will gridblock and leave you clueless My ambition's to use and not abuse it Me without grooves is like mechanics without their toolkits Can't work without my tools, man
I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in Industry tried to play me, left me with some bruises Must have thought I was stupider than the Three Stooges They tried to hang me I slipped out of their nooses So I pulled a Chris Brown, I'm throwin' up my deuces Downsized like rice to couscous Spit that lightweight bullet-proof truth in the booth Cooped up for months tryin' to spit fiyah they can ride to Pull up to that drive thru, tell 'e this dat new dude! True, can I really get more clear? Make it boom so loud shake your rearview mirror Unless you got car speakers like the ones I owned Had to pain it to left 'cause the right one was blown You ridin on chrome? I was ridin' on plastic Two of 'em were cracked 'cause I hit a curb distracted Yea, but it ain't no big deal I may not have a nice whip but I still have whip appeal
I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in
Alright alright I write raps for a livin', perhaps I've been given A gift that is envied by mathematicians But are we that different? We both work in labs While they dissect formulas I dissect rhythms But I don't get paid much and that'll keep you humble son Radio won't play me much, that's causin' me trouble some People wanna nay-say, play me like a dumby-dumb Tried to shut me down so I Dikembe Mutumbo'd 'em Backhand it right back at 'em like Wimbledon That's for trying to tell me what I shouldn't have or should have done Anyway my time it will come I can smell it from a mile away like Cinnabon
