Στοίχοι: K'naan. 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 it
my mucis needs no touch ups
I got a long record of fuck-ups
trust me, you don't know a pst as weird as mine
or a life as hard as mine, I had to hustle,
chop, sell drugs, grind
whatever you wanna call it that's fine, but just listen
and don't pre-judge
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 on this universe
you're likely to get shot at birth
[bridge]
so how could 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 even seen no body operation no more I see nurses
fuck that, I'ma stay alive I'd rather do a stage dive
[chorus]
And if rap gets jealous
'cuz I rock heavy
that don't worry me if ma' fuckers don't get it
and if rap gets jealous
'cuz of where I'm headed
I use to be public enemy don't forget it
and if rap gets jealous
'cuz I rock heavy
that don't worry me if ma' fuckers don't get it
and if rap gets jealous
'cuz of where I'm headed
agression, obsession with pain never gain
Yeah, so basically I gotta release occasionally
I gotta let you know what's goin' on with me and
facin' 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, I ain't got shit, I ain't gotta brag
I'm hard pressed for some cash
dissent for my ill debt
you're so superficial
of course it's for shizzle that my choice
is to pass on you boys
'cuz my mission in the world
to know, my name, my aim
is plainly success, but I still gotta come fresh
[bridge]
[chorus]
It's what it is, it's pain
you know what I'm sayin'?
I don't know man it's like
you spend years developin' your artistry
you know what I'm sayin? perfectin' your skill
and you can't, do shit with it
that's gotta be fucked up
you know what I'm sayin'?
that's gotta be fucked up
so just imagine, like imagine you build a fuckin' castle
and you can't live in it
that's what it is, you can't live in it
and you got problems you got family?
I ain't got faimly
moment of truth right?
and I still gotta come fresh
