The ARE - Questions lyrics

[Intro] Last time around we hit you with a big question We asked do you wanna be an mc And now with the past of times There's still a lot of questions that have gone un-answered There's not enough answers but so many questions [Verse 1] Who what when where why Be an mc if you can't vocalize When will you visualize with your third eye Whey are you rappin if you don't qualify Why do all rap guys try to be fly Why Lie Why you writing rhymes when you're high Who keeps it live from west coast to NY K to the O T to the I I to the X notify next of kin When's the next trend Who's the next Rakim Who's the next greatest mc of all time Who's the next overrated mc to shine Who told these lady mc's that they were fine Why make a record when you're way past your prime How ya stackin dollars when ya barely droppin dimes How come all these hardcore brothers are straight lying Who's the next wack cover act to get signed Stacked on the record rack for a limited time Why'd they push the price back to $9.99 When the cd's supposed to be top line [Verse 2] Where's the mc that's supposed to be tight with the rhyme Why on radio you say the same damn rhymes Why do female mc's rhyme half naked Why use R&B to have a hit record Why does evrybody and their mama mc Why does new hot sh** sound wack to me How am I a hater if I hate your cd How you more bout it bout it then Master P [Verse 3] Why ya askin me What's up with all these biters Why do rap superstars hire ghostwriters Why does everybody seem to kinda sound the same Why can't these rappers try to stick with one name Why are so many careers ending soon How come everybody's tryin to sample showtunes Why do most artists make albums that don't move me How come everybody thinks they gotta do a movie Why do underground rappers always get neglected How come everybody's comin with their last record How come wack rappers never know when to chill How come you don't make a name 'til you get k**ed [Verse 4] How ya call yourself God when you talk senseless How are you a player when your album's on the benches Why drop a record with a song full of disses But when it comes to callin names ya actin like b**hes How ya goin platinum when ya hits are all misses Aand every song sounding like a wish list from Christmas Why mc's more concerned about getting checks Why mc's wonder why they get no respect Why do rap groups break up to go solo End their careers puttin out weak promos Why are all the wack rappers in it for the money Why all the wack rappers think their rhymes' funny Why do mc's freestyle too long Why their interludes sound better than their song [Verse 5] And how come on every music show that I know In every video you got a million cameos When artists gain a following within the underground Why's the next album got the crossover sound Why do groups break up to break contracts Why do wack rappers try to make comebacks How do wack rappers sell records off the hype Why does everyone seem to look and sound alike Why is everyone on everybody else's cuts Why is everyone on everybody else's nuts Why are most of ya'll even still in this profession There's not enough answers for so many questions
