Still there be people that would die for less
You can boom shalock and jump to the sounds I pump
And in any cases that feel is what you want
You ain't promise nothing but a pocket full of stress
You never played a venue local college or a stadium
Follow this down no question, no doubt check it out
A young boys fiddin' pad fad is now a grown mans profession
Still there be people that would die for less
And I was right there on the first floor of the Palladium
If they don't like the demo make a new one tomorrow
They should be fired you're officially retired
You ain't promise nothing but a pocket full of stress
Chrome down with the leather package
Still there be people that would die for less
Playing hard rock surrounded by body guards
And once the crew hits the stage the crowd gets involved
I got it made, season tickets to the Knickers and the Lakers
Your penile style is now hanging from a tier
'Cause once they watch you rise they wanna watch you fall
You all clockwork apocalypse you about to implode
You got a home of your own, you're holding acres
Crowd scream decibels, Crowd scream decibels
We keep the sh*t right we don't be starting no fights
I see you make a little cash and start showing your ass
They play their caps backwards still saying wack words
This skills have me guessing learn 'cause I'm testing
You ain't promise nothing but a heart full of sorrow
Playing both coasts closed and European festivals
But you just cant figure how your flavor went sour
When you socialize with other MCs
Now you wanna know fear to impress your peers
Built on lies don't apologize
[Incomprehensible]
In your ear you wanna make rapping your career
You ain't promise nothing but a heart full of sorrow
Collapsing on yourself 'cause your whole foundation is
You ain't promise nothing but a pocket full of stress
If they don't like the demo make a new one tomorrow
You ain't promise nothing but a pocket full of stress
Back in 89 PE fought the power and in 86 Big Daddy Kane was raw
She want to make money, money and take every honey
Rap charges ain't funny but it boost your career
You ain't promise nothing but a heart full of sorrow
Hoping no one pulls your cord you got me laughing pretty hard
No power to durhust just a few yes men
Raising the question of who gave you a contract
And boast your rhymes to company enemies
I be the wet dream making cream for promoters
And what they call a knick-knack is really your career
Now your ass outta here the rap game goes on
You get laced up with jewels your crews acting like fools
You ain't promise nothing but a heart full of sorrow
If they don't like the demo make a new one tomorrow
But I ain't quitting till I'm shitting on Donald Trump
So take heed to the verses and styles and versions
You be either rhyming in code or on some gangster node
When it's time to rise I'll open the archives
From Arkansas to Minnesota I sell out the quota
Thinking you're the white hot man of the hour
To earn this is a blessing
When you be in dreams you got 85's
And he wont hold out my dough 'cause I'm a put out his lights
We show love they show it back all problems solved
And place it on their mantle like a souvenir
And they'll all take a piece just like the Berlin wall
Still there be people that would die for less
