[00:08.10]i’m supposed to be a professional
[00:10.41]i ain’t tryin’ to be one of them dudes
[00:12.09]that make hundreds of new songs and none of them are good
[00:14.79]some of ‘em are cool but ain’t say nothin’ new
[00:17.31]runnin’ through a verse just for somethin’ to do
[00:19.65]i wanna be the cat that put the straw on the back
[00:22.11]of the camel and send him to the chiroprac
[00:24.72]i wanna write a line that’s in your head all day
[00:27.06]songs that make you say you never felt that way
[00:29.40]like i’m tryin’ to give myself goosebumps ok
[00:31.83]find the truth inside me and put it on display
[00:34.62]many dedicated folks listen to me close
[00:36.99]i open my inner soul and slip it in my clothes
[00:39.51]some flood the blogs some flood the streets
[00:42.06]i don’t flood nothin’ i’m watering the seeds
[00:44.43]i walk away from emcees offerin’ me cheese
[00:46.86]to author a 16 and drop it on their beat
[00:49.38]and it’s not like money ain’t somethin’ that i need
[00:51.90]there’s a business side and i wanna succeed
[00:54.39]plus i got a wife and a couple kids to feed
[00:56.61]but if i sell my love then what’s left for me
[01:00.30]sometimes i don’t write a lot
[01:02.31]i know some folks call that writer’s block
[01:05.19]i just call it my process
[01:07.08]it comes out when it’s ready to i guess
[01:09.93]i don’t wanna let nobody down so
[01:11.76]here’s some new shit you tell me how it sounds
[01:14.58]i ain’t tryin’ to be difficult or no shit
[01:16.89]it just hurts too bad to try and force it
[01:18.99]had a week off
[01:21.51]i flew out to  seattle to go and build with jake
[01:23.88]he can make a break that make the famous do a take
[01:26.43]i’m hyped  imaginin’ the magic that we’ll create
[01:28.98]i love my family but damn they distract me
[01:31.50]when i’m at home someone’s always yellin’ daddy
[01:34.29]need to get away badly and focus
[01:36.27]but it’s been a couple weeks since i really wrote shit
[01:39.36]i’m strugglin’  up late hummin ’
[01:41.37]pace around the hotel the words  ain’t comin ’
[01:43.95]wrote a  little somethin’ throw it away **** it
[01:46.23]have an artist freak out moment and start buggin’
[01:48.81]maybe it’s the  my fire’s just lost
[01:51.24]i’m probably a fraud that got lucky before
[01:53.73]if i let everybody down then what’s it all for
[01:56.28]lookin’ at seattle from the twenty third floor
[01:58.77]cracked the window and swung open wide
[02:01.23]nothin’ between me and the world outside
[02:03.63]what if i decide to lean forward and fly
[02:06.09]they say that’s the way donny hathaway died
[02:08.61]such a beautiful life ended in suicide
[02:11.07]maybe tryin’ to write was tearin’ him up inside
[02:13.53]maybe tryin’ to write was tearin’ him up inside
[02:15.90]i swear that tryin’ to write is tearin’ me up inside
[02:18.42]i bet that i’d regret it  the second that i did it
[02:20.94]wish that that instant  i could continue livin’
[02:23.40]i pushed the window closed said man you trippin’
[02:25.89]sat down on the bed and wrote this one
[02:29.37]sometimes i don’t write a lot
[02:31.20]i know folks out there call that writer’s block
[02:34.29]i just call it my process
[02:36.15]it comes out when it’s ready to i guess
[02:38.97]i don’t wanna let nobody down so
[02:40.86]here’s some new shit you tell me how it sounds
[02:43.56]i ain’t tryin’ to be difficult or no shit
[02:45.99]it just hurts too bad to try and force it
