So many... so many, so many questions
|
So many... so many, so many questions
|
|
[Verse 1: MURS]
|
One of a kind so there's nobody like me
|
And I guess thats the reason that nobody likes me
|
Or is it that I don't like anybody else?
|
Can't quite figure it out so I keep to myself
|
Too street for the sheltered, underground fan
|
Too intelligent for play on your FM band
|
So I thought to crossover, but I left them plans
|
My resolve's to do me and do the best I can
|
And yes I am, aware that most of my fans are white
|
But I'm love em all, scope em, and open 'em when I write
|
Some may chastize, from the side, crack jokes
|
Say I'm not black cus I rep with white folks
|
MAN PLEASE!
|
I hear the hate in your voice when you say it
|
So I'ma keep makin music for whoever wants to play it
|
If I dont go gold, then my people say I flopped
|
But if I go triple platnum, I'm not Hip-Hop
|
|
[Chorus]
|
So I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't
|
But I got it in my heart so I'll be damned if I won't
|
Make my dreams come true, my team come through
|
Man take it how you feel it; on the real it's on you
|
|
I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't
|
But I got it in my heart so I'll be damned if I won't
|
Make my dreams come true, my team come through
|
Man take it how you feel it; on the real it's on you
|
|
{*vocal sample*}
|
So many... so many, so many questions
|
So many... so many, so many questions
|
|
[MURS]
|
Man! Motherfuckers always be comin up to me, you know
|
Askin me how come I dont kick no rhymes for the struggle
|
Or no conscience, revolutionary raps man...
|
|
[Verse 2: MURS]
|
Look; I'm not your average rapper talkin shit about the government
|
Its not that I'm lovin it; it's where I live
|
They tried to bomb the place where I wanna raise my kids
|
I dont know what everybody seems to think this is
|
It ain't a game, ther is no reign, they want America crushed
|
If you don't like Bush, you still dyin with us
|
And trust I haven't forgotten bout the schemes they been plottin
|
On my people for centuries, I know that eventually we'll be on top
|
So what they fightin overseas? Hell, they fightin on my block!
|
The black sheep of America's family. We are the flock
|
Gettin lead to the slaughter
|
Have to work twice as hard to keep our heads above water
|
And god forbid we start to rise through positive means
|
They'll send out a whole black operative team
|
Everytime a black leader steps up, he gets trampled
|
Do I start makin speeches or just lead by example?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't
|
But I got it in my heart so I'll be damned if I won't
|
Make my dreams come true, my team come through
|
Man take it how you feel it; on the real it's on you
|
|
I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't
|
But I got it in my heart so I'll be damned if I won't
|
Make my dreams come true, my team come through
|
Man take it how you feel it; on the real it's on you
|
|
{*vocal sample*}
|
So many... so many, so many questions
|
So many... so many, so many questions
|
|
[MURS]
|
So many questions. So what man? You hangin with El? You signed to Def Jux?
|
How much you get for your advance man?
|
|
[Verse 3: MURS]
|
Off this album right here I probably won't see royalties for 2 years
|
But shit I'm a straight up hustler! Aint nothin queer in this
|
Oops! I shouldnt've said that cause it disses on my publicist
|
I dont give a fuck! Cuz this is one man's view
|
And with this mic I'ma show what one man can do
|
I'ma hustler motherfucker like this world has never seen
|
Could sell Chloroform to a room of Evergreens
|
Toured around the globe with my legendary team
|
So I shouldnt have to beg to get a G a show
|
500 people pay ten bucks, then where does it go?
|
In the fucking promoter's pocket?!!?
|
That aint how its supposed to be
|
Nobody paid to see him; they paid to see me!
|
I'm not a full-of-myself, arrogant emcee
|
I'm only askin for a fifth, a measly 20 percent.
|
Im not tryin to get over, I'm just tryin to pay rent!
|
Right now I wanna thank ya'll for lettin me vent
|
And I'ma catch ya next show at the bar gettin bent
|
Notice I put my heart in every word I meant
|
Presentin |
