$MARCx - Taboos or Cliches (Bonus) lyrics

(2Pac interview) That's why have you to be real. Instead of a role model, I want to be a real model. Because a role is a role Know what I'm saying? If I play like I'm so goody, goody..then somebody will see me doing something bad That every human being has to go through, then they'll go "Wait a minute, he ain't cool" Know what I'm saying? [Hook] Taboos or Cliches? My n***a what you need? Taboos or Cliches? Please tell me what they want from me He say, she say? Women & Green Leaves it completes my day You'll find a critique for anything we say So the question remains: Taboos or Cliches? Taboos or Cliches? My n***a what you need? Taboos or Cliches? Please tell me what they want from me He say, she say? Women & Green Leaves it completes my day You'll find a critique for anything I state So the question remains: Taboos or Cliches? [Verse 1] Should I talk about greed? How we the richest nation in the world But it's people starving, beg your pardon? Should I talk about weed? Now even kids blaze them trees. No stems--or should I try to teach n***as to raise their seeds?? Which crowd am I trying to reach? My hip-hop heads said they want something deep When I do just that, all my n***as in the Jack say "Marc that sh** wack, we don't feel that in the streets!" Try to claim that I don't make songs for the b**hes. Females ask me "why you gotta call us b**hes?" Part of my dilemma, guess it's part of the business. Everytime you gain a fan, another lose interest For instance, fans love you until you get the fame--seems they'd rather see you go broke then go mainstream They used to praise you, your mixtapes too. But when your album drop, will they pay you for your debut? Problem is artists don't maximize their talent. Can't be one-dimensional, music gotta have a balance! Some lyrical rappers can't even write a full song, but these scrub n***as make one smash-hit and they on! Ad-libs alone sell records these days, while the real CDs make damn good weedtrays You'll find a critique for anything we say, so the question remains: TABOOS OR CLICHES? [Hook] [Verse 2] "Maybe you should talk about cheese! Or moving them ki's overseas, then you'll have a platinum CD! Cuz n***as ain't geeks, we don't want to hear you preach about how we still slaves or what we need to do to be free! You call it Sextape but the hoes won't shake none, I bet it ain't one single track that I can get laid from Or just a dope beat for me to sit back & blaze one, You call yourself Money: hit me up when you make some! Don't play dumb, n***a you ain't even a thug! We don't jam you in the hood cuz you grew up in the subs Dropping all them big words, trying to blow my buzz. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT IF IT DON'T TURN UP IN THE CLUB ni**a!" He say, she say. Women & Green Leaves it completes my day. You'll find a critique for anything I state So the question remains: TABOOS OR CLICHES? [Hook] [Refrain] Taboos, Cliches. Turn me up DJ They say knowledge is the key, drop it low for that degree I'm out for dead f**ing presidents to represent me Teach a cla** on s**, as I pop this Malcolm X (Repeat) © $MARCx 2013
