lyrics

INTRO
Ay yo it’s about to go down right now, here’s the beat yall
Ha, yo so I guess it’s about that time for me to speak

VERSE 1
Why is the world so (crazy)? Why are some girls so (crazy)?
Why are some guys so (crazy)? Why are my rhymes so (crazy)?
I got this time yo to speak my mind so
I’m on the grind yo, I won’t recline no
I’m trying to figure just how to blow your mind yo
While all these other cats are looking to be signed yo
I’m trying to work it out so it can make sense
But this is so unreal just like a fake ten
The way that life gets somehow deflates us
But yo our faith must somehow remake us
And reinstate us or else they break us
Recognize that they aint doing us no favours
So I keep wondering, I’m sitting pondering
If this gone fade away or will it turn to fun again?
Don’t have an answer yo not one that’s tangible
So here I am alone, I’m just…

CHORUS
Scratching, my head I’m scratching my head (x6)
Scratching my head I’m (x4)
Scratching
Go (x17) Go (female x4)

VERSE 2
(Huh) Its like relationships what are they all about?
What’s with the arguments? Why do they kick us out?
Why do we kick em’ out? Why do we sleep around?
We say we love each other but it seems we having doubts
Why do we let emotions rule over the logical?
And when it comes to truth we can be economical
It’s psychological, but still we cave in
I’m saved from the days when I played all them games man
To my amazement I still get fazed when
Somebody does me wrong but still can act so brazen
And my relation’s no longer sacred
It don’t got that trademark, it don’t got that patent
And in the midst of all that that nonsense
That negativity will try to capture my circumference
Without an answer yo, we nothing valuable
It leaves me all alone, just…

CHORUS


VERSE 3
Yo, so now I witness the pain and suffering
That often gets applied to make a tougher man
And I’ve discovered man, just like the Government
We systematically controlling one another man
So to my Brothers and them Single Mothers man
And all the peoples who we know that really love us man
There is a lake of fire, they trying to shove us in
They say “Its comfortable” and they try and tuck us in
But they can’t suck us in, I aint that gullible
Though I am only human I do get vulnerable
I know which way I’m heading, I got it mapped out
I’m gonna follow it until I black out
But until I black out I try my hardest to
Become a legend who is so incredible
And if that day arrives my time was worth it
For all the years I spent just…


CHORUS


CHORUS OUT
Scratching, my head I’m scratching my head (x2)
Scratching (x13)
Go (x24) Go (female x8)
