What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back
2
Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped
3
Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing
4
Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in
5
No excuses I'm learnin' how to lose 'cause
6
That's the only way to fine tune and make improvements
7
Critics keep on chippin' in their two cents
8
But they got their record for free- shoot-
9
Nowadays music's like sewage, nasty and polluted
10
Over saturated I don't want nothin' to do with it
11
So when they ask the question who my influence is
12
I go back to the 90s and tell 'em Brand Nubian
13
Gave radio a shot but got fooled again
14
All it is is a bunch of hootin' hollerin' hooligans
15
Cryin' like babies, actin' like they two again
16
Pardon my rudeness but ya ruined my mood I don't just
17
Do this for food there's more to it than the music
18
So I got be intuitive to use this
19
Gift, it's like fluid when it oozes
20
But writers block will gridblock and leave you clueless
21
My ambition's to use and not abuse it
22
Me without grooves is like mechanics without their toolkits
23
Can't work without my tools, man
24
I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back
25
Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped
26
Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing
27
Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in
28
Industry tried to play me, left me with some bruises
29
Must have thought I was stupider than the Three Stooges
30
They tried to hang me I slipped out of their nooses
31
So I pulled a Chris Brown, I'm throwin' up my deuces
32
Downsized like rice to couscous
33
Spit that lightweight bullet-proof truth in the booth
34
Cooped up for months tryin' to spit fiyah they can ride to
35
Pull up to that drive thru, tell 'e this dat new dude!
36
True, can I really get more clear?
37
Make it boom so loud shake your rearview mirror
38
Unless you got car speakers like the ones I owned
39
Had to pain it to left 'cause the right one was blown
40
You ridin on chrome? I was ridin' on plastic
41
Two of 'em were cracked 'cause I hit a curb distracted
42
Yea, but it ain't no big deal
43
I may not have a nice whip but I still have whip appeal
44
I take 2 steps forward, 5 steps back
45
Lately I've been lazy like the way Mase rapped
46
Or lazy like the way Johnny Cash used to sing
47
Maybe lately that's the reason cash ain't been comin' in
48
Alright alright I write raps for a livin', perhaps I've been given
49
A gift that is envied by mathematicians
50
But are we that different? We both work in labs
51
While they dissect formulas I dissect rhythms
52
But I don't get paid much and that'll keep you humble son
53
Radio won't play me much, that's causin' me trouble some
54
People wanna nay-say, play me like a dumby-dumb
55
Tried to shut me down so I Dikembe Mutumbo'd 'em
56
Backhand it right back at 'em like Wimbledon
57
That's for trying to tell me what I shouldn't have or should have done
58
Anyway my time it will come I can smell it from a mile away like
59
Cinnabon
