lyrics

What Good is it?

(Verse 1)

Cause I’m not only a participant but student of the subject
So I’m not interested if it’s been proven unproductive
Just look at all I’ve been able to pull without a budget
Plus not to mention all the endless bullshit I’ve put up with
So if success I don’t achieve for my dream’s sake
I’ll still have plenty reason to believe and to keep faith
Regardless if I’m missin’ or I’m meetin’ release dates
If you didn’t listen then it would be a complete waste
But fortunately the more that I struggle
All that torture only forces me to pour in it double
And I don’t have the money yet but thank God for my fans
Cause unlike my friends I can’t count ‘em all on my hands
And just doin’ it for me isn’t enough
Well it was until I discovered my listeners’ love
As they tell me it’s important and I felt you were right
So every rhyme that I design is meant to help you in life

(Verse 2)

Cause otherwise all this time would not be justified
And must confide that most these rhymes were written drunk and high
But never prone to decreasing my honed skill
Cause that’d be like me writing to a beat that I don’t feel
Reachin’ for a deal that’s as cheap as any thrill
Or seekin’ for appeal if the reason isn’t real
A soulless mannequin because you’re livin’ spiritless
But couldn’t handle what you wished if you were given it
So what good are a lyricists words?
If in turn the verses don’t increase the listener’s worth?
It wouldn’t be complete until they understood what you speak
Like what good is a beat you wouldn’t want to put on repeat?
And stood to your feet and lifted up your tush from the seat
Yet so smooth too that it could probably put you to sleep
That’s why I’m slept on, which provided me with pressure
And can argue is the reason that I’ve gotten even better
