[Intro]
Yeah, I ain't tryna diss you
I just wanna know the issue
Yeah, got some sh** on my mind
Yeah yeah, got some sh** on my mind
Uh uh, sh** on my mind
Issues
[Verse 1]
Uh, first off, this song, meant to be tooken wrong
Bad intentions and all, don't want the problem resolved
Heard it was you, I'm like "No, not my dawg"
Went to school together took the bus and all
Back of flashing cars, tryna be a boss
Tryna fit in with the hustlers, they told us run along
Tryna learn to shoot dice, got my bike stolen dawg
Used to wanna gang bang, ride deep in cars
'Til I see the n***a wrong, wrong hat, now his head off
Picked up a notepad, thought you gon' do the same
Wrote down the sh** I saw, now I don't look at sh** the same
Now how am I to blame for you choosing a life you made?
n***a you a man too, why you mad at me?
Same gravity hold you down, that's embarra**ing
Your comments was hilarious, not even congratulations
Told n***as we're related, even when I made it
Had nothing but good things to say about you even though you still hated
And I know you think 'cause this fame I'm probably jaded
Ain't get a chance to see your daughter, tell her happy belated
For me, I don't care if that car lease, you in it you own it
And that's all me, being smart don't mean cheap
You could take a life sitting in that driver's seat
Take your shades off, I'm like, remember me?
Looking at my story, breaking down my glory
Judging my highlights when it's shots like Horry
Always trying to take from me, criticize, hate on me
Wanna call me fake 'cause you really can't relate to me
Your remarks, playing league out of character
Your social past couldn't make a dollar in America
On your keyboard 'cause I blew up like a keloid
Me boy, why you gotta be a k** joy?
I gave you n***as something to ride to
Gave you n***as something to get fly to
Gave you n***as something to die to
n***as want the fast life, and they barely in the drive-thru
I advise you, do what your life allow you
You're a fare noob, man? It's cool, I was once too
All that feedback, don't really need that
Oh yeah, you like it? Buy it
You don't? You don't cop it
Continue to be great but my, aye, eyes lit
Ignorance is bliss so I can't blame your ignorance
It's irrelevant, I'm relevant
I'm a big event so go ahead and vent
Yeah
[Bridge 1]
I'm a big event so go ahead and vent, Issues
It's where we at, Issues
[Verse 2]
Bells ring, let the birds sing
Had to sacrifice, never knew what pain will bring
This moment of clarity
I had to do it for my auntie's nephew, never had a niece
They call it spoken word, I don't want it to speak
Don't mix them colors with whites as if it was bleach
Back of the bus, n***as fighting over window seats
Tryna compete, make this idea complete
Ryan just got k**ed, who is he to blame?
God rest his soul, tryna protect his gold chain
It's rules to the sh**, but it ain't just a game
Give or take, n***as still gon' violate
Not up for discussion, load and co*king and bussing
You tough? It's always saying
Someone's tougher that saying that, "f**, we's in public motherf**er"
I kept it one thousand to be exact
Went from hood racks to Maybach's, how real is that?
Plaques on the wall, wall match the chrome gat
Got backpack backpack, whenever I rep
That's whenever I rap-rep rap that
n***as firearms like they f**ing fist gone
These simple heartbeats, that's a real diss song
He's dissing me now, but ten minutes from now
Will somebody please show me how
Go intimate
Get intimate and equivalent when I be dissing hard
k** everybody
They each got a city to pick to make it our part
I'm dissing f*gs over, but that's what he liked her
I'm dissing a coyote that's why I'm rhyming slowly
Man a G, I'm in the city; that's something you can't see
Like I went to Sierra Leone in a homecoming dress
You write a rap dissing me then it's graded with an F
Like dissing Benny and 420 weren't enough
I'm tryna follow money, she tryna fall in love
Ignoring my dissing keeping outta beefing
9 months later, can't
Car, can't afford a son
Come be my hero you can take your cape off you don't need that to save my heart
Go into it, get intimate and equivalent when I be dissing hard
Switch it up
Well, um, there's a but
Ain't loyal cuz the way they front
A happy home, that's my fantasy
Not gonna lie, we're not happy family
Or as your loyal and loving pet
That I just haven't just came up with a name yet
All I know is bad b**hes, I got finally famous with me though
Cause we grew up on that bro code and are so loyal, it's way pa**ed what ya know
You acting like this, brothers acting stiff like cactus
Do not rap if you do not practice
[Bridge 2]
But it might lead to that R2D2, the mobsters creep through
Taught me what a loyal woman do
But you, you the only one staying up
I ain't telling you it's a cold world, b**h, stay in school
f**ing chicks is a rule
If my girl think I'm loyal, then that b**h is a fool
You wish she was loyal but she's a disobeying one
This meeting just begun, n***a I'm Satan's son
[Verse 3]
Uh yeah, Issues
I relieve my duties when she undress her sweats
No regrets when I cheat so relate me to Jay Z, but it ain't me you address
That's BS, my pics HD, your picks MLS
She don't want no jock, she don't want no j-walk
She rides my SLS like she rides my co*k, last night with her I slept
Girl secrets unfurl she talk with no one else
This verse must hurt MCs on the Earth that are fake AF
Society try to hide, block my IQ vexed
I'm free to agree to disagree, rhyme times three
My grades are high but deny me from an Ivy school
You're applying me to the street I slept
Call the cops and lock me but let me cop that TEC
Protect me from the ROTC stress, the President-Elect threats
I guess turn me into DMX
Make them bleed after PMS
Their fam real feel the KYS
I got the keys so meet me on the West S
Thus, I express with full excess let me be me and sh-sh**, b**h hold your breath
I sock thee and slit your neck, no need to reload what's left
Boo, I beat you in chess
Your room is def a mess no less
My dick is bigger than the Rock, while your dick ain't even co*k
Just ask me and I'll say yes
Except when I see you're LAPD
“Please show me your ID”
This b**h trip, I step
A gust, a breeze, a soul pa**ing past me
I do mind and like others I don't rep
Why ain't we in these streets more than Sesame?
They rely run by sly Crips and Reds
At least those deceased aren't really dead
And the Prophet has a Hadith where he says
Eventually h*mos**uality will be widespread
Rewind back from the end
And some people still ask, Hamza, don't even try
If you wanna cut ties, say your bye-byes and go get high
I hope you fall into waste that's toxic from a mountain
You're probably high from chocolate or drunk from a water fountain
Issues
[Outro]
Yeah, it's Issues
Yeah yeah, got some sh** on my mind
