Danja Mowf - Question lyrics

rate me

[mowf's grandfather]

I've never had any uhh..

Healthy degree of respect forrappers

Because they was rappin the wrong kind of thing..

Or that old bad languagefoul language

I never cared for that.. bad language

I don't care if you make ten million dollars a day

It ain't worth it

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world

And lose his soul? nothing

Rap about that

[danja mowf]

Yojust a thought but I was wondering

What if underground were to hitwould commercial be the shit?

A universal role-reversal -- imagine that

Where a cipher's too commercial and some corny rap is fat

Would hammer then get propsand did ras kass sell out?

Your moms pumping organized konfusion through the house?

St. ide's was a soda and they legalized the blunts

And everybody smoked em and the president had fronts

Would niggaz sportin afros and dreads and the braids

Switch to jheri curlsand high-top fades?

And rappin bout the streets wasn't cool

The underground would pump non-violencesafe sexstay in school

So who? be realcould you choose? (nah)

When re-al-ity and commercial-ity both fuse?

But I've got news check it out we're on the way (what? )

To making this happen everydayso I say

Question: do you have to be from the hood

In orderto knowhow to rap good?

Question: do you have to pack a tec-9

Serve jail timeto learn how to rhyme?

Question: do you you have to be a gang banger

Or drug slangerto be a rap singer?

Question: do you have to be an alcoholic

Or a drug fiendto make green on the rap scene?

Check it outI was chillin in my crib

With my hand on the dialbout to watch a video for a while

Freestyle rulesyes indeed

The song's about hustlerssmokin mad weed

And how many gats you can tote in your coat

And how quick you pull itand discharge the bullet

Are real o.g.'sthe real mc's?

A brother out the pen with the pen writin sin

Can you tell me then -- if you knows why the do's always close

When I shows with my demossuppose it's the clothes (nah)

Shoulda choose those timbo's

Or talked about some hoes in my flows (that's how it goes)

Yo it's cool if you live that

If I can't relateare my rhymes less fat?

Cause I'm not a hustlera gangstera player or a g

I'm just an mc bein meso I ask

Question: do you have to be from the hood

In orderto knowhow to rap good?

Question: do you have to pack a tec-9

Serve jail timeto learn how to rhyme?

Question: do you you have to be a gang banger

Or drug slangerto be a rap singer?

Question: do you have to be an alcoholic

Or a drug fiendto make green on the rap scene?

I don't wanna sell my soul to go gold

Or pack a gat to ummgo plat-i-numm

If my pockets fat then ummlet it be from how I come

A smart intellectu-alpoet of the streets

Recitin over beatsrepresentin with the pen

I don't pack ninesbut known to carry tens

In fingersten funk bringersthey known to bring

Funk to a punk like a trunk full of skunkpee-eww

I see youpeek-a-boowho

Got a weaker crewhere's a technique or two

Pay-per-view niggafor the true niggaznot the ones

Pullin triggers but the ones whose the father figures

Whoathat's a radical ideaimagine that

But who would wanna hear

Somethin in they ear positive

Instead of somethin glorifyin just how triflin they liveso..

Question: do you have to be from the hood

In orderto knowhow to rap good?

Question: do you have to pack a tec-9

Serve jail timeto learn how to rhyme?

Question: do you you have to be a gang banger

Or drug slangerto be a rap singer?

Question: do you have to be an alcoholic

Or a drug fiendto make green on the rap scene?
