Desired Effect

Lyrics

(Intro) Yeah I wanna break this down for you Listen up Yeah (Verse 1) I had this album called the desired effect Put it together with (?) This was late 2004, you bet I had some big ideas On some (?) new manager to protect My vested interest's on my old label, check Yeah I was in Honolulu writing Couldn't wait to return the rebirth was exciting A 50/50 deal with a major Now I got some money for the mixing and working radio Low and behold motherfuckers change their tunе Talking about how this shit wouldn't work how I'm doing it My nigga was broke and decided to listеn The whole shit got dragged out and it started pissing me off Especially when cats delayed My American release, how much longer the wait? The album finally came out up North Didn't do a whole lot and the shit made me sore Never shouldn't fucked around and changed shit But you know the score sometimes when you're hungry you go for it So I reworked the whole damn album New shit same title and you know the outcome See if you dig it on the (?) and book me for the raps I'm never gonna get caught in that trap again Cause this is what's happening (Hook) This is the desired effect The uncut raw not inspired by a check Money comes money goes but y'know The music stay around and that's what I do it for Just let to you know That's what I do it for Just let to you know That's what I do it for (Verse 2) The secret subtitle is an epiphany Waking up realize that there's no serendipity If you be listening to someone else's plans for your own life (what?) That's like removing your backbone Sometimes we go straight but we can come back home (true) Home for me is the dirty beats dirty sound Some ill melodies and it's still my journal now And you know we're only as old as we say we are I think I'm 25 again, you see the way we are? It's so forgetful and fickle and passive Cats that used to believe in the ill shit Is now moving with masses like look where the cash is Cash is critical but so is the art I made my decision and I ain't gonna starve Work hard to make the world open this jar It's like that (Hook) This is the desired effect The uncut raw not inspired by a check Money comes money goes but y'know The music stay around and that's what I do it for Just let to you know That's what I do it for Just let to you know That's what I do it for This is the desired effect The uncut raw not inspired by a check Money comes money goes but y'know The music stay around
