1
Hey there SwizZzle, guess who it is?
2
It's your old pal Jokerr and I'm giving you the biz
3
Cause socio-politcally, we're never eye to eye
4
But you're not a bad guy, and I consider you a friend
5
And Frie-friends don't tell friends what they want to hear
6
They always said a good friend is a good mirror
7
I don't know who you have, but I'll be there for you
8
I know it's gotta be tough
9
(In the background)
10
Looking at the crowd go nuts
11
(Over that sound)
12
And show after show, that you never headline, which how you long to do
13
Woah, I know it's gotta be sad
14
(In your minds eye)
15
Seeing what you want so bad
16
(From the sideline)
17
Ohh poor SwizZzle, I can't even imagine, what you go through, I mean...
18
It's gotta be, so so hard
19
To be a sidekick, stuck living in the shadow of a giant
20
So so hard
21
With everybody watchin' cause you know they'll never understand
22
It's gotta be, so so hard
23
To be a sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might get
24
So so hard
25
When you're whole identity's defined by the efforts of another man
26
It's gotta be
27
It's hard on tour, knowing in your mind,
28
If you didn't show up, the show would go along fine
29
Cause, nobody wants to hear the right hand man,
30
You and Krizz Kaliko could probably start your own hype man band
31
Oh sure, you could both tour, go and hit the road and everything you've hoped for could be so yours
32
Oh man, it'd be so grand, think about performing at a whole damn show of only your fans
33
There'd be no Hop, no Dizzy, no Dame
34
No half of ten percent of half the dough that the show bringed
35
Everybody singing out your songs, buying your merch, girls wearing your shirts, screaming you're name
36
Ooh-Ooh, think of that show, when the opening act's closed,
37
The lights turn low, and you step on stage to that crowd dream
38
And all ten crickets in the crowd sing
39
It's gotta be, so so hard
40
To be a sidekick, stuck living in the shadow of a giant
41
So so hard
42
With everybody watchin' cause you know they'll never understand
43
It's gotta be, so so hard
44
To be a sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might get
45
So so hard
46
When you're whole identity's defined by the efforts of another man
47
It's gotta be
48
It's gotta be tough on the sidelines, watching other rappers grind, tryna' get a little something goin'
49
When you just sit there in your room on your lazy ass, getting thousands of dollars of free promotion
50
I couldn't help but to notice how you talk about rich folks never give enough to help the people at the bottom
51
Hey, but you sittin' gettin' your career fed to you on silver spoon of courtesy of Hopsin
52
It's got to be hard
53
It's got to be hard
54
It's got to be hard
55
Hey there SwizZzle, what's there to do, when the whole world's moving on without poor you?
56
While Dizzy already dropped his album
57
Four years and you're stilling sitting there without one
58
Now I hate to be the one to break it to you baby boy, but I'mma make you face a fact many may avoid
59
You're not as good an artist as you think you are. (As you think you are.)
60
You don't shoot your own videos, Hop produces every beat you ever rocked, and even does your mixes, so
61
How much expecting to be given yo, I mean are you gonna be able to stand up and take it upon yourself to get your own?
62
No, no, no
63
I didn't figure so, so until you get your own fans, bitch zip it closed
64
My apologies, I shoudn't let it bother me, I mean after all
65
It's gotta be, so so hard
66
To be a sidekick, stuck living in the shadow of a giant
67
So so hard
68
With everybody watchin' cause you know they'll never understand
69
It's gotta be, so so hard
70
To be a sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might get
71
So so hard
72
When you're whole identity's defined by the efforts of another man
73
It's gotta be
