9th Wonder - Tell Me What It's Like lyrics

[Hook] [XV]: So I heard you getting out there, finally getting shine Your CD coming out, yeah?! Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like I seen you on that TV, that article was nice Red carpets, white parties Tell me what it's like What it's like n***a?! Tell me what it's like [Verse One] [XV]: Well oh well, I promise to tell no tales This game ain't what it's cracked up to be, LOL Seinfeld Is canned laughter to this rapper Even fans be bugging (how?) Like Stan spelled backwards Watching my back like a man ran backwards Never hit the trees, stay away from them trappers Can't go out to parties People who know me make people who don't know me uncomfy And that ain't fun for nobody I keep my circle tight like a virgin Cause certain n***as I let in come out to be spy n***as working And that's why I ain't got no friends Picture a n***a trying to separate me from my paper like recycling bins And I ain't signing, I'm making music I wanna make And ladies is just frosting on the doe like funnel cakes Sometimes I wanna break Like Crazy Legs But it's cool cause it was a long road to make it here [Hook] [XV]: So I heard you getting out there, finally getting shine Your CD is coming out, yeah?! Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like I seen you on that TV, that article was nice Red carpets, white parties Tell me what it's like What it's like n***a?! Tell me what it's like [Verse Two] [D. Black]: It's like pulling teeth with a knife and a string The joys of success is only possible after acknowledging pain Couldn't numb it with an ice pack, in search of the right track Picked up with affliction, I'm admitting it was like crack Had me on this mission with an addict It's sitting at the MPC Putting that loop on that Dramatics sh** Penning some traumatic sh** Illest sh** I ever wrote Link with illmind now I'm under the telescope Khrysis said I'm "hella dope", deserving of 5 mics Did a song with Skyzoo, now I'm on these blog sites Dopeboyz, Nahright, OnSmash and DX I'm a song away from penning my way out the BX Manic saying, "We next" He heard me on Prove Something Albums can't get right Now I can't do wrong Flow is getting too strong I am far from ave-y I'm Stunting Like My Daddy I'm in the booth with XV [Hook] [XV]: So I heard you getting out there, finally getting shine Your CD is coming out, yeah?! Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like I seen you on that TV, that article was nice Red carpets, white parties Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like Tell me what it's like
