I dont know
why you only just puff
when you really could blow
I don’t know
why you do a little bit
when you could do more
They basic just face it
there aint no replacement
they watch you keep chasing
the things that you don’t need
I meditate, can’t tolerate
can’t hold your weight
can’t demonstrate
the person that you claim you be
you live like
you’re stuck in a video
lost like a prime time TV show
confused but you already know
you fight the power
like you really don’t want none
struggle like the people that’s
trying to get some
man I don’t know
I dont know
why you only just puff
when you really could blow
I don’t know
why you do a little bit
when you could do more
watching exploitation movies
too many times
but they was probably high
did too many lines
I watch the tape
rewind it like a million times
how can he get all them girls
broke, naked, and quiet
not a damn thing to say
and he ain’t even fine
if he came up to me
he’d be wasting his time
I’d tell him get him a job
better get on the dime
cause nowadays its hard
and it don’t pay to do crime
you live like
you’re stuck in a video
lost like a prime time TV show
confused but you already know
you fight the power
like you really don’t want none
struggle like the people that’s
trying to get some
man I don’t know
I dont know
why you only just puff
when you really could blow
I don’t know
why you do a little bit
when you could do more
I’m self sufficient and independent
most of you talk shit
but you don’t live it
better thank god
I am an artist not the president
get you bent and wet
like on a porno set
and you think you slick
dealing with a trick
so you never have your own
make yourself a vic
that’s why I be saying
I got my own lit
and yours I don’t need it
and fuck a pimp cause he really do
think you a pimp
well then I’m talking to you
gon’ head slave do what you do
cause real cats know whats true
wishing he had legit shit to do
If you a millionaire then why
you pimping dude
calling women out their name
sounding real rude
and it’s sounding so lame
I dont know
why you only just puff
when you really could blow
I don’t know
why you do a little bit
when you could do more
too many bitch made dudes
I’m a switch blade chick
going for these rap figures
you just licking dirty clits
can’t believe you have the nerve to
fix your lips to dis
jumping on my shitlist
yall dudes is so ridiculous
start the shit I’ll end it
press me and I’ll send it
what you know
bout pimp shit
bought you hos for cheap
and you still need beats
you live like
you’re stuck in a video
lost like a prime time TV show
confused but you already know
you fight the power
like you really don’t want none
struggle like the people that’s
trying to get some
man I don’t know
I dont know
why you only just puff
when you really could blow
I don’t know
why you do a little bit
when you could do more
