What You Rappin’ For

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, check it, check it, check it out [Verse 1] Uh, check out the rhyme one more time So I ain't got to work at checkout, express line With 15 or less, let me express mine You've heard everyone else's style, except mine Yeah, ask the manager, I'm no amateur Wide lens aperture, world view capturer Still I'm at the Whole Foods after your paper or plastic please, so would you hurry up It's like I can't breathe 'til 6:30 up Link up with fellow MCs, drink a 40 up Burn up, like a flint of a candle The only thing I can do is ramble, the beats that I sample The shiver in the boots Movie-like flow call me river running through What you wanna do? Give up the only good thing that you ever knew It's time we stopped chasing a dream and see it coming true [Hook] Nobody's feeling that no more I said, go on tell me homie tell me what you rapping for? It's nothing like it was before I said, go on tell me homie tell me what you rapping for? Shit ain't even cool no more I said, go on tell me homie tell me what you rapping for? So don't be doing that no more I said, go on tell me homie tell me what you rapping for? [Verse 2] I still got a 9th grade mind state Throw the food from my plate If you get in my way They went from missing me to listening to my tape Now they want to kick it 'cause everything going so great But, when it was bad they were gone I was forced to go it alone But it's ok, it made me strong As long as I can write I'm never wrong With the knife to match your arm and call minister Farrakhan To squash it whatever the cost is It's hard to kick push when they're flipping like constant Broke the last straw, the last line they crossed it I'm just trying to wriggle on back before the worst This nonsense around us Just let the sound surround us If the music is your god, then we see him as boundless I found this out without a doubt for sure When I finish what I set out for My goal [Hook]
