Trouble On My Mind - Blueprint[00:00:01]
Yeah ah-hah[00:00:21]
Yeah ah-ha What [00:00:29]
I got so much trouble on my mind refuse to lose [00:00:36]
Since I brought you up to speed in '99 my name's been news[00:00:41]
Got my label off the ground put on my folks[00:00:46]
Dropped some classic but right now we're all still broke[00:00:51]
And everybody's still lookin at me - because I took the lead[00:00:55]
And taught 'em to believe tried to maximize what my crew could be[00:01:00]
A wise man once said with great power comes great responsibility[00:01:04]
Sometimes I wish it was somebody else instead but I took it on willingly[00:01:09]
My mom showed me the path to follow how to be a role model[00:01:14]
Now I can't do a show without hittin the bottle[00:01:17]
Come home and pass out like my father would do[00:01:20]
Up at 9 A M load up a van drive to another city do it again[00:01:22]
Sell a couple CD's get a couple more fans[00:01:27]
Watch people criticize me like they know who I am[00:01:29]
Blueprint you spit too slow your vocals are mixed too low[00:01:32]
The basslines in your beats be makin my speakers blow[00:01:34]
Aesop put you on track RJ got you on his back[00:01:36]
Stick to production stop tryin to rap[00:01:39]
Another good album with bad distribution[00:01:41]
Another 100 magazines my music's not reviewed in[00:01:43]
By the time the fans impressed realize I'm the best doin it[00:01:46]
I'll be makin shitty music[00:01:49]
I got so much trouble on my mind refuse to lose [00:01:55]
Since I brought you up to speed in '99 my name's been news[00:02:00]
Got my label off the ground put on my folks[00:02:05]
Dropped some classic but right now we're all still broke[00:02:09]
Too many people got their hands out feel like I've been takin inventory[00:02:13]
Not too many livin off of hip-hop all I hear is hard luck stories[00:02:18]
You're either too depressed to make a record or way too broke to put it out[00:02:22]
Or too proud to get up off your ass and go the independent route[00:02:27]
I used to wanna be signed I don't think it's meant to be[00:02:32]
Most signed cats I know got less money than me[00:02:34]
Checkin they mailbox for checks they never see[00:02:37]
Might as well be puttin they records for free [00:02:39]
When they wanna sign you they'll put anything you ask for in the contract[00:02:42]
But when the same cats owe you money - they never call you back[00:02:46]
All the fans you had from day one start to reject you when your shows get packed[00:02:50]
They say you're sellout cause you got more fans[00:02:55]
And they never did like you and thought you was whack[00:02:57]
Damned if you do damned if you don't[00:03:00]
I'll be damned if it don't feel just like a setup[00:03:02]
But my suggestion box is closed[00:03:04]
And I wish I could make everybody just shut up[00:03:06]
The first thing I learned about this rap game[00:03:09]
Is sometimes it's best to be quiet and listen[00:03:11]
There's a whole lot at stake[00:03:14]
So don't be a bigmouth that makes bad decisions[00:03:15]
Don't get caught up in the hype[00:03:18]
Talk numbers before your music is sent in[00:03:20]
Sometimes the numbers ain't right[00:03:23]
So when you get a bum deal send it back with revisions[00:03:24]
Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrop[00:03:27]
