Dangerous Minds movie - Problems lyrics

rate me

Song by Rappin' 4-Tay<br /><br>

No, I can’t run, I can’t hide from all of this pressure<br>

If I sell out, that means I’m copping to a lesser charge<br>

And whenever there’s a will, baby<br>

There’s a way<br>

Each one, teach one - I always say<br>

The murder rate is rising, society can’t scare me<br>

Life is like a puzzle, ain’t no telling when they’ll burry me.<br>

They wanna tell me how to live<br>

But I’ve got dues to pay<br>

Now how much money you gonna give<br>

For my PG and me bill, cos it’s a week late<br>

Leave the hustler alone, fool don’t procrastinate<br>

Because, I’m a get mine and that’s the way I was taught, fool<br>

Now what you thought?<br>

That I was born and raised in a big house<br>

While you were asleep up in the bed<br>

I slept on the couch<br>

I tried to study but was often interrupted<br>

Because the neighborhood I’m from is so corrupted<br>

Rats and roaches creeping through the cracks in the walls<br>

While my folks down the street, breaking plenty laws<br>

Tried to count as much as they can count is like hell<br>

It’s kind of hard being raised off up in the cell, get on your own<br>

And get you some business, black<br>

Stay sucker-free and by all means, watch your back<br>

You ain’t gotta listen<br>

But take it from your boy, 4-Tay, fool<br>

You think you promised another day?<br>

<br>

Each piece of life is like a puzzle, can you solve ‘em<br>

Stress’ll drive you crazy when you’re dealing with these problems<br>

Problems, problems - How you gonna solve ‘em<br>

Man, I’m going crazy trying to deal with these problems<br>

<br>

Each and every day on these streets, the game is gettin’ sicker<br>

Thicker then a king-size snicker<br>

And I know who’s got the plug, don’t need a witness<br>

Cos your business ain’t everybody else’s business<br>

Snichers, and gothams, and gangstas, they’re so conniving<br>

In 1995, only the strong are surviving<br>

Every time I open up something, somebody wants some<br>

So I could be broke, all on my lonesome<br>

Too many critics, too many debaters<br>

And when they don’t hire us, that makes me think they hate us<br>

But that’s just another problem pushing through my brain<br>

And it wouldn’t change no matter how much I complain<br>

Why would you care if I was living on welfare?<br>

You act like you gon’ move me and my family elsewhere<br>

Allow me to make this conversation more concrete<br>

Too many formalities and I find that so obsolete<br>

But I’m a keep striving cos it couldn’t get no worse<br>

Ain’t robbing no banks or snatching nobody’s purse<br>

I finally made me a profit so now I can really chill<br>

Check my mail box, spoke too soon, there’s my phone bill<br>

Trying to look out for number one and that’s my Mother<br>

And if it ain’t one thing, fly, it’s another<br>

<br>

Each piece of life is like a puzzle, can you solve ‘em<br>

Stress’ll drive you crazy when you’re dealing with these problems<br>

Problems, problems - How you gonna solve ‘em<br>

Man, I’m going crazy trying to deal with these problems<br>

<br>

Each piece of life is like a puzzle, can you solve ‘em<br>

Stress’ll drive you crazy when you’re dealing with these problems<br>

Problems, problems - How you gonna solve ‘em<br>

Man, I’m going crazy trying to deal with these problems<br>

<br>

Problems, problems - How you gonna solve ‘em<br>

I’m a handle mine<br>

Problems, problems - How you gonna solve ‘em<br>

Take ‘em one at a time<br>

<br>
