Nay Nay, Hopsin - I Hear Them lyrics
[Nay Nay, Hopsin - I Hear Them lyrics]
Yo (Tell ‘em how it is Hop)
For all you young rappers out there
Who dream about blowin' up one day (Mm-mm-mm)
Just be careful man
This shit ain’t all fun and smiles
(Mm-mm-mm) and giggles and all that shit
It really isn’t it hurts and it’s scary
Shit, you can learn from my mistakes
I hear them callin' me (I can hear them call)
Will I answer? (Will I answer?)
Answer (Will I answer?)
I see them chasin' me (I see them chasin' me)
Will I run from them? (Will I run from them?)
Run from them (Will I run from them?)
Yo, this rap game is shady
It's triflin' what they did it to me
Took away my whole fuckin' life
And then showed no sympathy
They'll trash you in a blink of
An eye for another entity
And I always thought that me and this
Rap game were meant to be
Every day I sit alone in a dark room
Mad at my fucking career
Just hoping it starts soon
So I put these white contacts in
That I go berserk wit'
Then wile out on rappers who made
It that don't deserve it
I needed cash so I signed over
My soul to earn it
I'm writing flows dead as I lay
In a hole of curses they promised fame
I ain't spend five minutes on it's surface
My life is a bogus circus
I'm trying to hold my purpose
I'm writing the dopest verses
Inspired and so assertive
But, I'm broke as fuck
Washing my laundry with no detergent
They told me, "Hopsin you're the best MC
The next big thing to blow up
From the west indeed!" Shit
I hear them callin' me (I can hear them call)
Will I answer? (Will I answer?)
Answer (Will I answer?)
I see them chasin' me (I see them chasin' me)
Will I run from them? (Will I run from them?)
Run from them (Will I run from them?)
To music my life was dedicated
I never hesitated
Givin' up my friends for these beats, mics
Plus pens and pages
Now each day seems like the worst day ever
I sit and think bout how they
Say it always gets better
But, I don't see it like they do
How come my dreams never came true?
And how come every time I walk
Around I never get waved to?
See this industry is shifty with their
Deals and it's a pity
Even though I'm spittin' gritty in this
City that don't get me
Its like, lookin' back at all my work
Was it worth all the effort I put forth?
Trying to heal and change the Earth and
Make some use out of my birth
Or was it all for nothin'
Puttin' my name out in public
The times I spent writin' something through
The night while wolves were huntin'
Yeah, these blood thirsty record labels
With contracts stapled on tables
Won't go for one though I'm able 'cause
I can't fall for their fables
So I'ma do it independent
I'ma try until I get it
When I do then I'ma spend it
On what I want, I'm through pretendin'
I hear them callin' me (I can hear them call)
Will I answer? (Will I answer?)
Answer (Will I answer?)
I see them chasin' me (I see them chasin' me)
Will I run from them? (Will I run from them?)
Run from them (Will I run from them?)
Yeah, so just take warnin'
The world isn’t always as it seems
Not everybody out there’s good man
Yeah, Nay Nay, Hopsin, Kid Cudi, yeah
For all you young rappers out there
Who dream about blowin' up one day (Mm-mm-mm)
Just be careful man
This shit ain’t all fun and smiles
(Mm-mm-mm) and giggles and all that shit
It really isn’t it hurts and it’s scary
Shit, you can learn from my mistakes
I hear them callin' me (I can hear them call)
Will I answer? (Will I answer?)
Answer (Will I answer?)
I see them chasin' me (I see them chasin' me)
Will I run from them? (Will I run from them?)
Run from them (Will I run from them?)
