K'naan If Rap Gets Jealous Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
So good things comes for those wait, sure
I've waited about pop pop pop pop
That's four cousins shot
I got grudges, let's discust this
My music needs no touch ups
I got a long record of f___ ups, trust me
You don't know who has this weight of mine,
Or a life as hard as mine
I had to hustle, chop, sell drugs, grind
Whatever you wanna call it is fine,
But just listen
And don't prejudge
I don't want anyone dissmissin' me as another thug or some s___ 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 prisson and survived the war
I come from the most dangerous city in this universe
You're likely to get shot at birth

So how could 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 operating s___ anymore I see nurses!
f___ that! I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage dive!

[Chorus:]
And if rap gets jealous
'cause I rock heavy
It don't worry me if m_________ers don't get it
Yo if rap gets jealous
'cause of where I'm headed
I used to be public enemy, don't forget it
And if rap gets jealous, 'cause rock heavy
It don't worry me if m_________ers don't get it
Yo if rap gets jealous
'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression! Obsession! With pain! Live a game!

[Verse 2:]
So yeah
Basically I gotta realease, occasionaly
I gotta let you know what's goin' on with me
And facing me, 'are some tough choices
I got a good side and bad side, inside my head
I hear screams and loud voices
And I can't lie I ain't got s___, I ain't got to brag,
I'm hard pressed for some cash to send to my I'll dad
You're so superficial?, of course it's for shizzle?
Now my choice is to p___ on you, boy
'Cause my mission is the world
To know, my name, my aim, is plainly success
But I still gotta come fresh!

So how could 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 operating s___ anymore I see nurses!
f___ that! I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage dive!

[Chorus]

That's what it is, it's pain, you know what I'm saying?
I don't know man it's like
You spend years developing your artistry
Know what I'm sayin'? Perfecting your skills
Yeah, you can't do s___ with it,
That has gotta be f___ed up!, know what I'm sayin'?
That's gotta be f___ed up, you know
Just imagine like, imagine you build a f___in' castle
And you can't live in it, That's what it is
You can't live it, you know
And you got problems, you got family
I got family, moment of truth right?
And I still gotta come fresh!

So how could 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 operating s___ anymore I see nurses!
f___ that! I'm gonna stay alive! I'd rather do a stage dive!

[Chorus x2]

And if rap gets jealous, 'cause rock heavy
It don't worry me if m_________ers don't get it
Yo if rap gets jealous
'cause of where I'm headed
Aggression! Obsession! With pain! Live a game!

I'll admit it I could spin it like a fitted knitted cap. That means tight and won't stop like a fifty cap
That means I'm not white but I figured do a bit because the sun needs me
So instead of getting a beat from Kanye(eezy) who would probably take half my budget,
I could save the back end and send it back to modishul(?) and my family and friends getting patched up again you can ask over?
The hood is harder than you thought like a fifty chain getting s_____ed?....

I don't expect you to feel my pain, but with respects to the rules of the game, They don't apply because I made it this far, stage dive like a ghetto rockstar

And if rap gets jealous cause I rock heavy, it don't worry me if m____fuckers don't get it
So if rap gets jealous, cause of where i'm headed, 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____fuckers don't get it
So if rap gets jealous, baby I'm a menace you know I came to bring the pain.

(You know)x4
(Kirk Hammett solo)

So don't tell me I gotta be the same, I'm tryin to get you to know my name, And with respects to the rules of the game, they don't apply because I came this far, stage down like a rockstar

And if rap gets jealous cause I rock heavy, it don't worry me if m____fuckers don't get it
So if rap gets jealous, cause of where i'm headed, 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____fuckers don't get it
So if rap gets jealous, baby I'm a menace, you know

Here we go
And if rap gets jealous
So if rap gets jealous baby I'm a menace, you know
I came to bring the pain
