the problem

This isnt no griot but a mere portion of a semi-important life
Far from a complaint, but a mere look at the present showin you the changes that
I made The proverbial lemonade that
I made I made my mistakes, you see lifes lemons often times come in a abundance,
In conjunction with the pressure that were under
Underrated some would say, hated, and some say its the things
I say or how
I say em.
And I admit, in this race
I tend to struggle to relate in words
Its like
Im an alien who alienates by the herd, so as far as being heard
I guess I gotta wait, deprived by the stations eye
Wale, more times than not, am not for whom the air waves
Thank God for the free thinkers, for you keep me in mind,
In this state of mind that
Im in, for you keep me in the race with the baton that yall give
And they hype beat, street wear,
Versace and
Vuitton that
Im in And really dont matter unless yall comin with
No days off, may we rip the face of the whole game off,
Im gon say it to yall,
Im gonna put my faith in yall when
I dont understand me
They say Im runnin hip-hop but
Id rather unify with yall then stampede
And lastly for everybody who doubted
I cant live without you, please
Continue to inspire the fire that is my re-dedication to greatness yall
Paint a picture to
A.D. to freestyles to famous songs we out chere
Unforgettable gestures, unmeasurable effort, to pleasurethe masses with impeccable work ethic
Lets get it,
I go hard, no days off
Paint on my face, layin back rollin the
J Feelin like these rap niggas aint as real as they say
Thats why
I keep my friends limited,
Keep them hoes interested
Resented by the game like
Im Pete Rose in this bitch
Aint nothin stoppin us, tell you what the problem is
Im on top of my game but these niggas wont acknowledge it
So a nigga hungry as a plastic hippopotamus
So stoppers better take it in the blood like a phlebotomist [Skit]

I walk around understandin the politics
Wish you niggas father understood where the condom was 06 came, had all kind of buzz, and
Isaiah say one day your time will come
Then 09 came, them bad record sales, the silver-linin couldnt find him up on any shelf
Im in the mirror like 'this a product of my skills?' and
I fear that my fans say
I failed Its just my fate, lemme chill, nah flip, my shit was submarine like, under ship
Look at what
Im up against, scrutiny, criticism, everybody judgin off a single
I aint even pick
Now my eyes
Chinese, keep the lau in, now
Im takin these pills and
I aint even sick
Ice and Rain,
Letter, Center of
Attention,
I wanted them on my debut, but they aint wanna listen
You know I love my team, but they couldnt see my vision,
Interscope is my fam, so
I aint tryn make no issue
Im just tryin to paint that picture,
When Im rhyming up in this booth
Imma try to rhyme and get through, but
Im documentin the truth
Men lie. Women lie.
Numbers wont forsaken, the only album flop is the album niggas hate so
A.D. two, oh no way, lets do this and
God willin niggas gonna triple up the munnies
Triple up the munnies, wisdom is improvin, if no ones there to listen guess
Ill put it in the music
Triple up the munnies, wisdom is improvin,
Im headin to
Vienna since yall niggas aint doin shit
