If Rap Gets Jealous

So good things come to those who wait

Sure, I've waited about pop-pop-pop-pop

That's four cousins shot!

I got grudges, let's discuss this, my music needs no touch ups

I got a long record of fuck ups, trust me

you don't know who has this weight as mine, or a life as hard as mine.

I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind, whatever you want to call it is fine,

But just listen, and don't preach us

I don't want anyone dismissin' me as another thug or some shit like that,

No Sir! If I fall I will get right back,

I got circumstances, but let me stop dancin' around the issue

And tell you straight forward, I'm poor

A refugee, been in prison and survived the war

I come from the most dangerous city in this universe

You're likely to get shot at birth!...

So I can rap quench my thirst

I don't even hear verses no more

I hear jerkin' off, punks with lip glosses and purses

I don't see nobody I can reach anymore

I see nurses, fuck that!,I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage live!

[Chorus]

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if m'aa fuckers don't get it

Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted

I used to be a public enemy don't forget it.

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if m'aa fuckers don't get it

Yo, if rap gets jealous,'cause of where I'm headed

Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain.

[K'naan]

So yeah, basically I gotta realease occasionaly

I gotta let you know what's goin' on with me

And facing me are some tough choices

I got a good side and a bad side

Inside my head,I hear screams and loud voices

And I can't lie,ain't got Shit!

I ain't got to brag,I'm hard pressed for some cash

'Cause that's where I'm at with that,you're so superficial!

Of course it's for shizzle,now my choice is to pass on you

Voice! 'Cause my mission is the world

To know my name!,my aim!,is plainly success!

But I still gotta come practice!...

So I can rap-Quench my thirst

I don't even hear verses no more

I hear jerkin' off,punks with lip glosses and purses

I don't see nobody I can reach anymore

I see nurses,Fuck that!,I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage live!

[Chorus]

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if M'aa Fuckers don't get it

Yo! if rap gets jealous,words that were admitted

I used to be a public enemy don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if M'aa Fuckers don't get it

Yo! if rap gets jealous,'cause of where I'm headed

Agression,Obsession,we're pain in the gain

[K'naan]

He,He,He,That's what it is,it's pain,know what I'm sayin'?

I don't know man it's like...

You spend years developing your artistry

Know what I'm sayin'?,perfecting your skills

You can't do shit with it,Ha!

That's gotta be Fucked up!,know what I'm sayin'?

Ha! That's gotta be Fucked up

You know,just imagine like,imagine you build a Fuckin' castle

And you can't live in it,Ha! That's what it is

You can't live it you know

And you got problems,you got family,I got family

Moment of truth right!

And I still gotta come practice!...

So I can rap-Quench my thirst

I don't even hear verses no more

I hear jerkin' off,punks with lip glosses and purses

I don't see nobody I can reach anymore

I see nurses,Fuck that!,I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage live!

[Chorus](x2)

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if M'aa Fuckers don't get it

Yo! if rap gets jealous,words that were admitted

I used to be a public enemy don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if M'aa Fuckers don't get it

Yo! if rap gets jealous,'cause of where I'm headed

Agression,Obsession,we're pain in the gain

[K'naan]

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy

It don't worry me if M'aa Fuckers don't get it

Yo! if rap gets jealous,'cause of where I'm headed

Agression,Obsession,we're pain in the gain
