If Rap Gets Jealous Lyrics

So good things come to those who wait
Sure, I've waited about pop, pop, pop, pop
That's four cousins shot

I got grudges, let's discuss this, my music needs no touch ups
I got a long record of f**k ups, trust me you don't know who has this
Weight as mine, or a life as hard as mine
I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind
Whatever you want to call it is fine

But just listen and don't preach us
I don't want anyone dismissin' me
As another thug or some shit like that
No, sir, if I fall I will get right back

I got circumstances but let me stop dancin' around the issue
And tell you straight forward, I'm poor
A refugee, been in prison and survived the war
I come from the most dangerous city in this universe
You're likely to get shot at birth

So I can rap quench my thirst
I don't even hear verses no more
I hear jerkin' off, punks with lip glosses and purses
I don't see nobody I can reach anymore
I see nurses, f**k that, I'm gonna stay alive, I'd rather do a stage live

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted
I used to be a public enemy, don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous 'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain

So, yeah, basically I gotta release occasionally
I gotta let you know what's goin' on with me
And facing me are some tough choices
I got a good side and a bad side

Inside my head, I hear screams and loud voices
And I can't lie, ain't got shit
I ain't got to brag, I'm hard pressed for some cash
'Cause that's where I'm at with that, you're so superficial

Of course it's for shizzle, now my choice is to pa*s on you
Voice, 'cause my mission is the world
To know my name, my aim is plainly success
But I still gotta come practice

So I can rap quench my thirst
I don't even hear verses no more
I hear jerkin' off punks with lip glosses and purses
I don't see nobody I can reach anymore
I see nurses, f**k that, I'm gonna stay alive, I'd rather do a stage live

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted
I used to be a public enemy, don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous 'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted
I used to be a public enemy, don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous 'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous, words that were admitted
I used to be a public enemy, don't forget it

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous 'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain

And if rap gets jealous 'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m'aa f**kers don't get it
Yo, if rap gets jealous 'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression, obsession, we're pain in the gain
