YO Someone call Nas and tell him Hip Hop is dead
No time for good music, We too busy chasing money instead
He told me I can be what I wanna be, but I'm feeling mislead
I keep on chasing a dream but I can't get ahead... Count Of people supporting me
It's probably destroying me
Nah, it's mostly annoying me
Cuz legends avoiding me
While critics exploiting me
My knowledge prevails but my revenue stale
Either way, I'm still tippin the scale
Cuz I got no tolerance
For the ones who ain't followin
Pretty soon they'll be hollerin
When they see that I'm prospering
No brakes... I'm just steadily throttling
Never milking the beat, I'm lactose intolerant
Now take a dose of this medicine
I promise it's moderate
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
I'm off beat, off key, and awfully... Talented
That last one should never be challenging
1 verse could leave you paralysis
I'm eating up beats they calling me ravenous
Kill me with kindness or find out who the savage is
Born a hero but dyin antagonist
Love it or hate it... I'm incredibly passionate
Searching for good music, I'm always an advocate
More like an activist
But it's... taking too long, I'm in need of a catalyst
Now peep the hypothesis
I'm... headed for dominance
Cuz my... lyrics are monstrous
Never... lacking in confidence
Even when I'm... sounding preposterous
Never... fearing the consequence
Why they call me Micnificent??
Cuz nothing synonymous
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
I'm praying success for you
Even when you... wish me the opposite
Destined for greatness, I... thought it was obvious
My... music original, the rest of y'all copiers
Instrumental so sick you... feeling the nausea
Now. get out yo seat and jump around like you live with insomnia
Can't sleep with the thoughts in my reservoir
Too much material inside of my repertoire
But it's never enough, so what am I doing this for?
Aaaaa What am I doing this for?
Like a... blind man drawing, I... don't see the picture
So I... guess I'm conflicted
Questio... ning my existence
Declining all help like I don't need no assistance
Mad at the circumstance so they call me vindictive
Imma Triple XL slim fit, never fit the description
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
Tell me Now
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
