What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's like writing to the dead, dear people
2
I don't know if you'll hear my last plea
3
But somebody needs to be a little concerned about me
4
It's like I'm standing on the edge of a high tower by K'neen
5
Y'all are rootin' me to jump, and nobody stoppin' me
6
It's like a drug filled rock and roll documentary
7
Just wait till the world knows what's inside of me
8
'Cause you'll be sorry when I'm gone and I'll be gone so very soon
9
If the pressure on my diaphragm keeps resisting
10
If the feds keep my brothers stompin' up and down prisons
11
If you can't understand my offerings and deep mission
12
No label is willing to see my unique vision
13
(If metro housing keeps threatening my poor mother with eviction)
14
You'll be sorry, you'll be sorry
15
You'll be sorry if I stay so poor
16
I can't afford my own medicine to cure my ulcer
17
And get vexed at every rich person that walks past
18
That won't blast
19
Just yet I don't even have enough gas
20
To pass the exit, so don't laugh
21
Don't laugh
22
I think a smile is a charity
23
But fuck, don't laugh my anger
24
Resulted from pressure, exhaustion
25
My boys be orphans
26
My voice is all bent
27
I'm tired, I'm coughing
28
My daddy's divorcin'
29
My momma is hopin'
30
My eyes be so open
31
For chances, I'm walkin'
32
I'm walkin' and talkin' and boxing my shadow
33
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
34
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
35
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
36
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
37
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
38
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
39
It's like the possibility of making it in the industry
40
Is just around the corner now, it's just about your ability
41
But see, it's like an enigma, an insomniac singer
42
A dream, a figment of your imagination it seems
43
It'll never be successful
44
Please protect your neck before they squeeze
45
I'm your biggest hater, you suck
46
And even if you don't, you know your luck
47
You'll probably get run over by a truck before your first label meeting
48
Meeting is the issue, you prick
49
Yo, yo, you really make me sick
50
No, no you make me sick
51
I can't stand this argument
52
See this is what happens when my mind starts to dwell
53
And my strength starts to fail
54
And I get an anxiety resulted in panic attacks, exhaustion
55
I might as well look for a fence
56
My health is dissolving
57
I am tired, I'm coughing
58
My wife is divorcing
59
My girlfriend is open
60
'Cause I gotta so open
61
Over these niggas, walkin'
62
I'm walkin' and talking and boxing my shadows
63
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
64
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
65
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
66
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
67
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
68
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
69
And now I sing about the poor, and I sing about the war
70
And how can I not represent when I'm the most critically acclaimed
71
Put most emcees to a lyrical shame
72
Get some, um, fame, express my pain and still keep this shit raw
73
How can one person be so poor?
74
Look at it, you're better off without me
75
I mean even I doubt me
76
My own dreams mock me
77
The snicker and talk about me
78
They want me to suffer about me
79
Take my life around me, rob me
80
They got me boxing my own shadow
81
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
82
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
83
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
84
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
85
I hate you, I hate this, I hate food, I won't eat
86
In case you offend me, I wait you, so don't sleep
