The Price Of A Rapper

The Price Of A Rapper

(Introduction)
Have you ever been hated
Discriminated against
I have
I've been protested
Demonstrated against

(Verse One)
Listen to my wicked rhymes
In these times
There are just so many crimes
Too many whack rhymes
So while you listen to this track
Take the time to close your eyes
And picture somethin' of beauty
And watch as it's torn from your vision
I've been worn from the shit
That goes on in this world
This world is cold
There are so many bold
That live on the edge
They don't need meds
Don't need to lie people on their death beds
They just keep on livin'
When I die
I hope none of ya'll cry
'Cuz my life will be too sad to cry for
I sometimes look at my father
And hope he would just die
I'm with Faith now
I'm in front of the crowd
About to take another bow
But now
I see what it takes
To be an MC
Now don't you think I'mma step down
And hand over my crown
I'm here to stay
No matter how long I stay in a state of dismay
No matter how much I wonder
What is asunder
I will not make another blunder
Like I did in my startin' days of rap
So what if I had to rhyme
For a short time
Before I was all ready hated
All ready bein' discriminated upon
Now I've seen this guy named Ron
He was nothin' but a
Lil' bitch
Who could call me nothin' but a poser
But he could not rap for crap
Every whack rhyme he ever spit
Made me just want to hit
His worse rhyme
And make it a cool verse
But no one would listen
Some would christen me
Another whack MC
But now you see
Me makin' my first album
A Rapper's Ambition
Now I've got a slight intuition

(Chorus)
I’m not like any other rapper
My life had started out good
It wasn’t like I lived in the Hood
I never meant to be a crude man
So rude
That you would cry
Or just want to diss me
Now don’t miss me when I die
‘Cuz I keep on livin’ in your heart
And if your smart
You won’t live the life I did

(Verse Two)
This boy Ron
He was so phony
A bony lil’ white boy
Rappin’ like he was a gangsta
But everyone knew he was nothin’ but a wanksta
A pranksta
He tried to make my life a livin’ Hell
Well
He failed
He one day mailed
Me his resignation
He said his new destination
Was a life better then this
Now at the time I did not realize what he meant
Until one day I saw on the news
Somethin’ that horrified even the TV crews
Ron was dead
I had been read
A note he had tucked in his pocket
With his old locket
Of his old girl
All the pain inside him
Had begun to manifest
Into somethin’ suicidal
He was once my rival
But now I’m sittin’ there
Starin’ at my TV
Not even darin’ to tare my eyes away
From the screen
I could never have dreamt
That he would attempt
To end his own life

(Chorus)
I’m not like any other rapper
My life had started out good
It wasn’t like I lived in the Hood
I never meant to be a crude man
So rude
That you would cry
Or just want to diss me
Now don’t miss me when I die
‘Cuz I keep on livin’ in your heart
And if your smart
You won’t live the life I did

(Verse Three)
Now I hope
To never be taken in the Devils snare
I cannot bare
To let another die in this game
Just because they want fame
They want a betta life
I’ve known guys all ready seekin’ a wife
But throughout my time
That I’ve made rhymes
I am still payin’ the price
For bein’ a white rapper
Bein’ bright
A tight rhymer
Means nothin’ in this biz
My life is on a timer
So what if I use old words
That were once slurred
For a third time
It’s not like I’m committin’ a crime
I’m admittin’ anyone who wants to be a homie of mine
I hope you never claim
That I got my fame
From bein’ a gangsta
Now, I’m no wanksta
But I never touched a gang in my life
Now sometimes I think I hear
Someone load another shot in the chamber
Of that Glock I fear the most
That one that’ll put me in danger
While I’m just standin’ on the block
Now don’t take me for a pussy
Or as some would call me
A stupid wussy
I just don’t wanna die yet
You may bet it’s ‘cuz I’m scared
It ain’t ‘cuz of that
I got a beautiful girl
Who I will not let go of
Now as I rap to this flow
The flow of this beat
I try not to repeat
The mistakes I made in my history
I hope to make a multiplatinium sellin’ CD
But even if I do, I’ll still be the same man
The same MC I am today, you see
Just a lil’ richer
Now there are all ready some people dissin’
But they’re just missin’
The meanin’ of this rhyme
Maybe it’s time I put down this mic
And head back to the place
That I had lived in for so many years
Where so many cheers
Can still be heard
Since the day I was born
I’ve been torn up inside
But no longer
I’m here to stay
Even when you say I am too young to rap
I brung up my rep not just for nothin’

(Chorus)
I’m not like any other rapper
My life had started out good
It wasn’t like I lived in the Hood
I never meant to be a crude man
So rude
That you would cry
Or just want to diss me
Now don’t miss me when I die
‘Cuz I keep on livin’ in your heart
And if your smart
You won’t live the life I did

(Outro)
Yeah
That's just somethin' of my life
I want ya'll not to use me as a role model
But somethin' not to become
You can take my good qualities and use 'em
But never use the bad shit that I live through now
Yeah
