Yo, let me calculate how my struggles began |
| [00:32] |
In a foreign land, with no family - no friends |
| [00:35] |
Wanna be a rapper, yeah that's right |
| [00:37] |
Never had the chance to start the thing twice |
| [00:40] |
My situation crucial, I'm to blame |
| [00:42] |
didn't know what I was in for, rings o' pain |
| [00:45] |
The promise was made, yo, they felt real sugar |
| [00:48] |
They're like, come on, Tiger One be a real sport |
| [00:50] |
The partner jacked me, I was new to the game |
| [00:52] |
You feeling me sob for you, what's my name |
| [00:55] |
I had to chill, you wasn't ready for me yet |
| [00:57] |
Too much skill swept me when I hit the sack |
| [00:59] |
Bad contracts, yeah I signed |
| [01:02] |
You know you all, you can kiss my What! |
| [01:04] |
It ain't a pain to say, you know the game |
| [01:08] |
Can you feel my pain, tell me what's my name |
| [01:17] |
No more pain, baby |
| [01:27] |
Tiger One, baby |
| [01:30] |
Talk about all you whack producers |
| [01:32] |
Has no real talent, yo, you straight up losers |
| [01:35] |
To all you so-called singers who lip sync every show |
| [01:37] |
You come to my studio |
| [01:39] |
we throw them "whoo!" out the door! |
| [01:40] |
Back in the days when I was on the go |
| [01:42] |
I used to sing my demos to those white studios |
| [01:45] |
They call us saying "We like you but you sound too black" |
| [01:47] |
And I hit them real fast, yo, what's up with that! |
| [01:50] |
You keep talking off the side of your neck |
| [01:52] |
Boy don't you know you're bound to get smacked |
| [01:55] |
So pop producers who don't know how to rap |
| [01:57] |
We had to rap a little something, went like this: |
| [02:00] |
I love you, sky is blue, |
| [02:02] |
Girl I want to be with you |
| [02:05] |
Driving me insane! |
| [02:06] |
Can you feel my pain? |
| [02:08] |
What's my name? |
| [02:09] |
Tell me can I change the game? |
| [02:50] |
All I'm saying is, that I'm free from the chain that |
| [02:53] |
Simply straight up locked my brain |
| [02:54] |
I got my own now, no more shame |
| [02:57] |
You can sit back and cry, cause I know the game |
| [03:00] |
It's Tiger One, baby, my style, Mr. Release |
| [03:02] |
Count the album, I know you're gonna feel it |
| [03:06] |
No more "I love you - sky is blue" |
| [03:08] |
We got it locked now! |
| [03:08] |
Tell me whatcha gonna do |
| [03:10] |
What! |
| [03:13] |
You know for real though, you know what I'm saying |
| [03:13] |
How y'all gonna keep a artist locked up in a cage |
| [03:16] |
Have him do this propaganda, you know what I'm saying |
| [03:19] |
Now I'm free! The real artist is open! |
| [03:21] |
Tiger One baby, feel it! |
| [03:23] |
I'm telling you ain't no more of that "I love you - sky is blue" boo |
| [03:26] |
You know what I'm saying, I'm bringing it to you real |
| [03:28] |
