I Don't Understand It

[00:19.76] There are too many MC's who are overrated
[00:22.45] You ask me, they wasn't even supposed to make it
[00:25.13] In the rap biz, they don't know what rap is
[00:26.94] So give it up, become a actor or a actress
[00:29.60] Or a producer, cause you fail to use the
[00:32.48] Mic right, so take flight before I bruise ya
[00:35.14] For sayin those bull crap wack raps on wax
[00:37.89] You need to get smacked, sit back and rip that contract
[00:40.53] Hey yo, I'm serious, Big L ain't playin games
[00:42.38] I should get foul and buck wild and start sayin names
[00:45.01] But deep down inside you know who you are
[00:47.76] Your rhymes are not up to par, you fake superstar
[00:50.45] And that really gets on my nerve
[00:52.26] When a rapper gets the credit that he don't deserve
[00:54.92] Goin platinum and don't have no soul
[00:58.55] Some rappers are mad nice and don't even go gold
[01:00.33] I don't like the way it's goin down
[01:03.02] Because it should be the other way around
[01:04.84] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[01:07.50] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[01:10.21] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[01:12.01] How MC's take this rap game for granted
[01:14.73] MC's - what's goin on?
[01:18.34] I don't understand, man, how rappers cold transform
[01:21.49] One minute you're hardcore and raw
[01:23.28] That's what you was known for, but not no more
[01:25.97] You changed, you rearranged
[01:27.75] You're not the same, your raps are blame
[01:29.50] That explain why you lost your fame
[01:31.33] Used to be on top, then you fell like rain drops
[01:34.04] You turned pop, now you no longer gain props
[01:36.76] Who's fault is that? Nobody's but your own, black
[01:38.59] Used to make fat tracks, jack, but now you're stone wack
[01:41.28] So MC's, don't ever step out your range
[01:43.90] Remain the same
[01:45.79] And only change with the time
[01:46.66] Unless you get dropped like a dime
[01:48.44] Go for yours like I'm goin for mine
[01:51.19] But if you're rough, stay rough, if you're dap, stay dapper
[01:54.79] And never try to look or even sound like another rapper
[01:56.53] Just fulfill your own needs
[01:58.30] Some rappers wore gold chains, and now they're wearin beeds?
[02:01.16] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[02:03.89] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[02:06.57] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[02:08.39] How MC's take this rap game for granted
[02:21.74] This is how it should be done
[02:23.91] I'm not the one, and my raps is strong like gum
[02:27.51] But some MC's grab the mic and sound dumb
[02:29.39] Plus slum (How come?) Rap skills they have none
[02:32.91] And I wonder how the hell they records sell
[02:34.72] They raps are stale and frail
[02:36.50] They're forced like fairy tales
[02:37.44] Your technique and everything you speak's weak
[02:40.15] You got a little airplay because of your beats
[02:42.80] Your fame and your name, but your lyrics are lame, black
[02:45.52] Step to this and get ran over like train tracks
[02:48.22] Your raps border wack, and you went on tour with that
[02:50.05] Crap, don't understand it, cause rhyme skills you lack
[02:52.72] I got more soul that Nike Airs, givin MC's nightmares
[02:55.46] Rappers be frontin hard, and rhymes they don't write theirs
[02:58.10] But still call themselves MC's
[03:00.89] Please, how could that be?
[03:02.65] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[03:05.38] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[03:07.19] I don't understand it (I don't understand it)
[03:09.85] How MC's take this rap game for granted
[03:12.54] I don't understand it
[03:41.34]
