Therapy

Yo it's therapy, most the rappers I know got problems
why you think we frowning when we putting out these albums
you would think we selling units way up in the hundred thousands
most of them I know a show away from public housing
back in Richard Allen, similar to Ram Squad
see me, believe me, it ain't easy, it's damn hard
then why you do it? I don't really know the answer to it
heard some kid recite my lyrics, saw some chick dancing to it
I don't know, guess it's sort of borderline comical
laugh until you hurt your abdominal, this ain't optional
it's mandatory, shorties jockin' for the hell of it
watching, waiting for some jaw dropping developments
a little good news but I'm relying on embellishment
wonder if they know that I'm lying when I tell'em shit
I'm hittin' in New York, they love me down New Orleans
popped in, did a intimate acoustic performance
impromptu, we seduced them with the chorus
then we had the whores waiting for us on the tour bus
they yelled 'encore' and cried out for more of us
how can I ignore this, I live for this sort of rush
Say why they keep testin' me, stressin' me
tryna figure out the recipe, I learned this out of necessity
and some of y'all respect me, others will think less of me
and question me, dude I do this out of necessity
why they keep testin' me, stressin' me
tryna figure out the recipe, I learned this out of necessity
and some of y'all respect me, others will think less of me
and question me, dude I do this out of necessity
We must be crazy
maybe bumped our head or mama dropped us as babies
raised by a pack of wolves infected with rabies
I don't know, all I know is I been doing it since the 80's
and still love it like the ladies
love Cool James, we up in school bangin' Wu-Tang
pants hang, the dean said stop walking on the back of your jeans
I act strange and so fly at manipulating Black slang
that you can't deny my critical acclaim
so worthy, flow dirty as work gloves
girls that used to front, now I'm giving them church hugs
so distant with it, took a compliment and dissed them with it
young, black, and educated, how you still so ignorant with it?
dude it's easy when you're 'round the wrong crew
and when you live in shit you bound to get some on you
heard you're on your grind, they claim they're on they jawn too
but can't match your drive, they're rack and pinion is gone too
can't see the dude, tryna house me, nigga ain't even pre-approved
they hate you like MOVE or Mumia Abu-Jamal
had to warn her, hard to make a chick believe
leave 'fore he start beating your head like a itchy weave
I tell'em back up, you're breathing my air
OG legend status, there's a reason I'm rare, yeah
see it's more than rap young fella
talkin' bout you're the closing act
fool you couldn't close a umbrella
Say why they keep testin' me, stressin' me
tryna figure out the recipe, I learned this out of necessity
and some of y'all respect me, others will think less of me
and question me, dude I do this out of necessity
why they keep testin' me, stressin' me
tryna figure out the recipe, I learned this out of necessity
and some of y'all respect me, others will think less of me
and question me, dude I do this out of necessity

Yo, what I write is some shit they gonna eat up
Haj in the basement choppin' a breakbeat up
bul should of known better talkin' that tough shit
now your hard image too hard to keep up with
probably wanna hug a sensitive thug
clenched up, end up drenched up in blood
spit shit that'll pistol whip dent up your mug
have your chick hate my guts then we end up in love
it start off soft in a intimate setting
when I'm done it look more like a internet beheading
I be the black sheep that's far from the flock
be the Chi Ali fresh out the bing on your block
walk like I'm floating emperor in new clothing
cats either too new for me or too olden
me I'm from the golden era of fly spittas
old enough to know better, young enough to fry niggas
Hook:
I tried to tell your dumb ass a long time ago
tell ya daddy, I'ma go let ya mama know
you done messed up now you learn the hard way
you tired yet homie? we can do this shit all day
tired yet? we can do this shit all day
wanna rap? we can do this shit all day
wanna scrap homie? we can do this shit all day
get dumb high? yeah meet us in the hallway
See I knew when I first slipped in
when I seen them shiny Buick's sittin' on them big rims
Park Ave, Bonneville, Grand Marquis
looking like your borrowed your grandpaw's keys
know how to spot a Philly cat when I see'em
been around the world seen Asians and Europeans
my African homie from Djibouti said your booty
your groups unruly and your loops all fruity
can't argue with that, that's what I told the kid
tat on your neck, so much for the corporate gig
damn that shit wack, I don't even sorta dig
man where you live at? cause poppin' that over here
will get you fucked up, oh you thuggin' for real
come out back bet it sounds like we're clubbing a seal
this a Dumhi show, when we open for fools
they don't need a soundcheck just a rope and a stool
Hook:
I tried to tell your dumb ass a long time ago
tell ya daddy, I'ma go let ya mama know
you done messed up now you learn the hard way
you tired yet homie? we can do this shit all day
tired yet? we can do this shit all day
wanna rap? we can do this shit all day

get dumb high? yeah meet us in the hallway

I'm just warming up see, I ain't even begun to start
make'em wonder how that ol'head stay so young at heart
my brain is chiseled and my tongue is sharp
is you dumb or smart
try to say my verse that shit'll blow your lungs apart
I'm in the sky flying high landing somewhere sandy
the clouds melting on my tongue like it's cotton candy
while you back up on the block taking shots of brandy
asking your mom for gas money for your pop's Camry
son it's the principle it ain't about the money
a nigga say that, you know it's all about the money
you say you put in work, but you call out when it's sunny
taking shorty to Hibachi like that's ballin' on a honey
you're freestyle sound to me like same sex vowels
you're lame and they make me wanna aim projectiles
Side is the truth they can't accept it
so in statistician terms that gotta mean they fail to reject it

Verse 1:
I’m in my own category
they try and do it like me but they do it so poorly
they sample obvious while we do it obscurely
Feelin’ like a king doing my thing better yet I'm more like Prince how they adore me
home watchin’ Everest commercials during Maury
Put this to your chest, bang yourself do that for me
much appreciated, pressures alleviated
and yes we told ya guests you requested to be cremated
even though you didn’t, got burned from my spittin’
learn your position, now you’re in a urn in my kitchen
how come the ones who ain’t vote is always bitchin’
Objectin’, riffin’ always expecting something different
when Terrence speak, advanced degrees in philanthropy
free CD’s hand to hand out on Sansom street
damn you deep, even hood cats and random geeks
can’t stand this heat, plus Haj make them slammin’ beats
Hook:
I though you said you sick & tired of being sick and tired
get off your ass get inspired start spittin’ fire
they used to say that nigga crazy like Richard Pryor
I ain’t crazy you just lazy fuck gettin’ by
I though you said you sick & tired of being sick and tired
get off your ass get inspired start spittin’ fire
they used to say that nigga crazy like Richard Pryor
I ain’t crazy you just lazy fuck gettin’ by
Verse 2:
Terrence, King Tee, I be the east coast version
‘Act a Fool’ ‘At Your Own Risk’, control your urges
See, I aint the one you wanna experiment your words with
mix verbs with obviously you ain’t heard shit
‘bout me, doubt me, many made the same mistakes
But now they workin’ at the zoo, them niggas bathing apes
cleaning cages, I been this way for ages
it all blur together I really can’t recall the stages
constant elevation, positive, energy, activated
And I ain’t talking jheri curls, or wonder twins
can’t lie yeah I had a couple them
wanna wrestle its all fun till somebody got pinned
belly to belly suplex, group sex, telly to the duplex
bend you like a mic on my gooseneck
chicken heads get the duck alert
fix your wig pull up your skirt
Girl you such a flirt I gotta go to work
Hook:
I though you said you sick & tired of being sick and tired
get off your ass get inspired start spittin’ fire
they used to say that nigga crazy like Richard Pryor
I ain’t crazy you just lazy fuck gettin’ by
I though you said you sick & tired of being sick and tired
get off your ass get inspired start spittin’ fire
they used to say that nigga crazy like Richard Pryor
I ain’t crazy you just lazy fuck gettin’ by

Dude, I got these little ghetto poems that turned into songs
grew up and left home, start a life of they own
got a wife and a loan that they need to help me out with
poppa need brand new shoes and a fly outfit
used to doubt quick and say Side ain't bout shit
5 albums later, damn he bout to put out 6
add'em all up and see the catalog husky
trust me, I got'em mad and all ready to cuss me
out, listen up I know things about stuff
had the 40 inch chain hanging down 'round my nuts
I talk the major shit, bul with the spacious crib
ladies said my flow is beautiful as biracial kids
I rap rare, they gotta know they wack, yeah
cause they up in this booth with a kodiak bear
uh, it ain't a equal balance, it's gonna lead to violence
I play my part and I stay sharp as eagle talons

I was a youngbul in Philly
pop a wheelie, fence hoppin'
corner store quarter hug drinkin' thinking 'bout shoppin'
downtown spend my lil papes on records and tapes
respectin' the greats, reppin' on consecutive dates
up late, never slumber find me in a grimy place
make me wonder how I escaped the 90’s unscathed
tryna hook up in the club I was 'wookin pa nub'
saw this sweet light skin shorty lookin' for thugs
I can’t front I like when they bowleg and walk stanky
walk fast, talk kinky, fat ass like Pinky
yeah, fine as fuck, cant front she was a hottie but
dropped a couple seeds and them kids tore her body up
her baby daddy ridin' dirty through the hood fam
damaged women in they 30’s cant find no good man
Terrence Wood damn you nice with the flow
how I been sleepin' on ya ass this long? I don’t know
She said whatcha wanna be? I said alive
she said you gotta want more than that outta life
girl I can’t survive workin' no 9 to 5
see I just wanna make music and hold ya tight
she said sho ya right, and I feel ya fight
boy you nice on the mic I can’t deny
but will them skills pay the bills and keep on the lights
she said whatcha wanna be? I said alive
We on the love seat makin' love lookin' at Crooklyn
watched that movie so much you think we grew up in Brooklyn
nah, we just some 70’s babies feelin' nostalgic
relatin’ to ghetto livin' where would I be without it
probably somewhere crowded, getting a lap dance from y'all
with hood tats she got baby names and panther paws
seen it all see I don’t know what all the hype for
“this is for my niggas” but most your fans is white buls
learn your demographic, then play to your strengths
learn about this rap shit, then play Cuban Linx
calm ya ass down that shit you spit is too intense
It’s fun to watch but lyrically it don’t make no sense
told my girl trust me I ain't out there flirtin'
just be a little patient we gonna be aiight for certain
I'm tryna get us to a spot where we ain't even hurtin'
so when we home sleepin' my music is still out there workin'
She said whatcha wanna be? I said alive
she said you gotta want more than that outta life
girl I can’t survive workin' no 9 to 5
see I just wanna make music and hold ya tight
she said sho ya right, and I feel ya fight
boy you nice on the mic I can’t deny
but will them skills pay the bills and keep on the lights
she said whatcha wanna be? I said alive
I think I’m fly yeah, telling girls my eyes are up here
you been a mixtape rapper for the last 5 years
ain't making no progression at making this your profession
I tried to give advice, but you ain't taking no suggestions
you heard and doubt the power of word of mouth
people in these streets spread me out west and further south so
keep that in mind when you tryna get this money
if it’s live they tell 5, if it's wack, they tell 20
believe that, and I don’t need no bad market feedback
them parkas that they got up Neiman Marcus yeah I need that
that's why over boom bap, I spit poison sumac
aggressive reaction same way the boys in blue act
you just a bunch of rats tryna avoid the glue trap
we was hip hoppers then but they ain’t even call it that
Rick Ross naw, Slick Rick Doug E. beat box
this real dope shit ain’t gonna show up with no cheek swab
She said whatcha wanna be? I said alive
she said you gotta want more than that outta life
girl I can’t survive workin' no 9 to 5
see I just wanna make music and hold ya tight
she said sho ya right, and I feel ya fight
boy you nice on the mic I can’t deny
but will them skills pay the bills and keep on the lights
she said whatcha wanna be? I said alive

Ayo dig it I'm ugly with it, it came from the city
this rare flow make a scarecrow look pretty
gorgeous even, my demeanor's more deceiving
ain't believing the fire this buls breathing
they stay cautious 'round the bosses eating
but got nauseous at the thought of me leaving
bit my hand now who the hell gonna feed'em
thought he was my dawg found out I don't need'em
as long as I'm breathing and feeling philanthropic
had to separate the real friends from the toxic
it's Silkk Shock shit it ain't my fault
they ain't put the same work in, but want the same results
I'm tryna show'em something, he one them niggas think white people owe him somethin'
but they don't owe you nothin'
getcha mind right, more right
my hindsight can be your foresight
why you think this bul write
