C'mon tell me bout your problems C'mon tell me bout your problems C'mon tell me bout your problems
The problem with me is that I think too much Relying on this pen and this ink too much And I do too much, I'm always on tour Accumulating points 'til I forgot about the score And the problem with you is you don't think at all Your brain is dead weight, so you sink and you fall You drink and you smoke 'til your motivation's gone And you know this is true, so you hate this song
The problem with me is co-dependancy So afraid of the day that you wont remember me Knee deep in anxiousness, needy like an infant Escapism, beats, rhymes and women The problem with you? You let yourself stop believin' And now you're afraid of your own thoughts and feelings Forgot how to share what i loved most about you Lost your voice, now no choice but to doubt you
Now, the problem with the world? The lack of respect For our earth, for our children, for the future we neglect For the morals, for the values, for the god that we select Millions die everyday without a cause to effect. The problem with the revolution? It's never gonna happen Through these marches, through this music, through these motherfuckas rappin' Through these communists, these socialists or any other faction Armchair activists, all talk no action
The problem that I stay surrounded with? They all wanna replace faith with a psychologist Bring the evolution where the thinkin' is pollution Where they're swallowin' the balance and they're drinkin' the sollutions The problem with the people that I wont stand next to? They don't hear the songs that we sing for the rescue The keys of life, the basslines of sadness So people that don't have, reach out and grab it
The problem with hip-hop? Nothin' at all It's an artform, it ranges and it changes, it evolves It's not always for the better but be patient with it y'all For our time will come and the wicked will fall The problem with this song is it's not long enough to say How fucked up it is that we livin' this way Nothin' is alright but everything is okay So we plan for tomorrow but we live for today
The problem with sex is self respect calibration The orgasm serves as your validation The problem with love is that it lives in a book now The problem with drugs is that they're too fuckin' good now The problem with logic is there's too many loopholes And the problem with truth is that it's usually brutal The problem is I cant trust most of what I see So fuck it.. all the problems of life must be me
Momma said she'd kiss it all away Biggest lie she ever told Papa said he'd bring us brighter days Biggest lie he ever told When they said this world was ours Felt like we got bought and sold They said they had a cure for pain Biggest like they ever told
