Don Blackman - So You Wanna Be a Rapper lyrics

Yeah boy, everybody over there So you wanna be a rapper, baby Said you got to be a rapper, baby So you wanna be a rapper, baby This my first time rapping never did before Got the mike in my hand in the middle of the flow I'm trying to see what the rapping game is all about Gonna give the rap game a change no doubt no doubt You see, I just didn't understand why you'd pay 30 dollars Not to see a live band, a big old stage with no feels on it Just a bunch of dude's mikes turntables dumped on it You see, don't get me wrong, I begin the rap game With Curtis build the Fat Boys can't remember all their names Songs I've written sampled by some Dope and Master P I'm sure there's other samples so I ask where's my money There's one good thing about the game there are so many freaks It make you wanna hold them close and kiss them on their cheek Riding in style in my Mercedes Benz with all the money coming And you think it never ends So you wanna be a rapper, baby Said you got to be a rapper, baby So you wanna be a rapper, baby Now, looking down the road, say five of ten years from now Things are gonna change and you'll be wondering how The only excuse you got is rap and being a DJ And now you've got a family and got bills to pay All the young bloods out there want to drop out of school They see the rappers on TV and think it's cool They're seeing all the money and the glitter and gold But there's a few things in this life that they have never been told Sooner or later what goes up must come down There's soon to come a time you won't be rapping around So tell me my peeps then what you gonna do No money coming in this ain't no honest way to scoop But what you see in this life you've no choice to survive Trying to do the right thing just to stay alive Get an education that's what James Brown said Cause without an education might as well be dead So you wanna be a rapper, baby Said you got to be a rapper, baby So you wanna be a rapper, baby
