Nobody Can Relate

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been in love with hip-hop for the past 13 years of my life Rap music has always been a dream Here in my life looking for a door to climb in Every time I would look I would find new things Have a passion for the sport then you'll find everything that you need This community is really quite big Ever since hip-hop became the brand new thing Kids jumped on quick like a brand new swing And what's a kid gonna think when he hears bling bling Too young to even know that it was Little Weezy Who wrote the chorus on B.G.'z cd On the record label imprint of Cash Money Mannie Fresh made the beat when the single hit the streets People knew, that bling really meant wealthy This was unhealthy, cuz' when the change came Went from gangster to pimps in the same decade House moms knew the game of the new rap names Wishing that the young kids wouldn't curse all day Never Kid 'n Play, never Tribe Called Quest How's an 8-year old gonna understand Dipsets Understand Brickset, understand Purple Haze I never understood shit back when I was their age Understand what I'm saying, I am not placing blame But variety can spice up this hip-hop game And I know it exists, but it's hard to mark it When people only buy their cd's from Target Nobody can relate to the hip-hop game Why do we all pretend like we actually can Back when Snoop was still young he had fourties in his fridge And that made sense then because we could afford them [Chorus] Now the underground's bitter and mainstream's rich Gotta find a new way to make music different Look at me in between I'm not mean I'm not bitter But we gotta get better just to get a little bigger [Outro] My skin is tan When I stand above ground And it helps roots grow When the sun comes out I said it with a straight face
