Wale - Rhyme N Reason lyrics

See it's sorta like the beat cryin' Better it than me cryin', keep quiet The red head step-son of the industry, I'm in, rap fans meet Ron Howard Far from an oppie Mind like the sword of shinobi But a 9th rappers can't clone me A little more Talib less Jay-Z A little less Na**ir more AZ A little more consequence than Kanye The underdog from the underground, Wale You don't know about the box that they put me in Sank a pair of sins every time they say my name You see I seen the lane, that I had to take Underground n***a, pop fan base Stop that saying, I ain't cop out man I'm hip-hop still, I do pop champagne Still holla at the broads who the fattest Get over on the broads who in awe of my status Force is a habit Jaws to the floor when I'm rappin' Now I got support from the ma**es Of course when there's capital the haters come after That's why the court's cryin' and I'm laughin' They gonna keep blogin', I am and not chattin' Think Barack got it bad, try bein' a rapper [Chorus - Tre:] If you know what was goin' through my mind You would understand Well maybe there's gruel to help you feel what I'm sayin' Maybe you get the reason for my rhyme And in love of my fans And I do what I do, the rest is out of my hands And I don't care what they say cause it's my time So pressure busts pipes In that regard this is Mario 5 The product from DC delivered to y'all Difficult odds never seemed to hard When in tune with my God I see no problem Though I understand the views of a Solange sh**, see this pressure I'm used to Signed to a Grammy producer When Rhyme Fast dropped and the magazines loved him Hip-hop talk but the fans ain't budge So I feel a little pressure, for me to do better To be more pillar, spend a G on a sweater Double my effort, that's why I go harder Investin' my energy to be a bigger artist It's hard to get shine when your city so dark Not to mention got the same manager as Sean Carter sh** How the hell I'm gonna top that Lookin' at this contract like aww sh** I sign ROC Nation anyways And told Minili I foresee a lot of better days And told Rich to believe in it everyday As me and Dan try to keep the same energy The price of fame no it isn't cheap I swear the industry don't even know the industry [Chorus]
