I Don't Understand It Lyrics - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor And Dangerous - Big L

There are too many MC's who are overrated 

You ask me, they wasn't even supposed to make it 

In the rap biz, they don't know what rap is 

So give it up, become a actor or a actress 

Or a producer, 'cause you fail to use the 

Mic right, so take flight before I bruise ya 

For sayin' those bull crap wack raps on wax 

You need to get smacked, sit back and rip that contract 

Hey yo, I'm serious, Big L ain't playin' games 

I should get foul and buck wild and start sayin' names 

But deep down inside you know who you are 

Your rhymes are not up to par, you fake superstar 

And that really gets on my nerve 

When a rapper gets the credit that he don't deserve 

Goin' platinum and don't have no soul 

Some rappers are mad nice and don't even go gold 

I don't like the way it's goin' down 

Because it should be the other way around 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

How MC's take this rap game for granted 

MC's, what's goin' on? 

I don't understand, man, how rappers cold transform 

One minute you're hardcore and raw 

That's what you was known for, but not no more 

You changed, you rearranged, you're not the same, your raps are blame 

That explain why you lost your fame 

Used to be on top, then you fell like rain drops 

You turned pop, now you no longer gain props 

Who's fault is that? Nobody's but your own, black 

Used to make fat tracks, jack, but now you're stone wack 

So MC's, don't ever step out your range 

Remain the same and only change with the time 

Unless you get dropped like a dime 

Go for yours like I'm goin' for mine 

But if you're rough, stay rough, if you're dap, stay dapper 

And never try to look or even sound like another rapper 

Just fulfill your own needs 

Some rappers wore gold chains, and now they're wearin' beeds? 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

How MC's take this rap game for granted 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

How MC's take this rap game for granted 

This is how it should be done 

I'm not the one, and my raps is strong like gum 

But some MC's grab the mic and sound dumb 

Plus slum, rap skills they have none 

(How come?) 

And I wonder how the hell they records sell 

They raps are stale and frail 

They're forced like fairy tales 

Your technique and everything you speak's weak 

You got a little airplay because of your beats 

Your fame and your name, but your lyrics are lame, black 

Step to this and get ran over like train tracks 

Your raps border wack, and you went on tour with that 

Crap, don't understand it, cause rhyme skills you lack 

I got more soul that Nike Airs, givin' MC's nightmares 

Rappers be frontin' hard, and rhymes they don't write theirs 

But still call themselves MC's 

Please, how could that be? 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

How MC's take this rap game for granted 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

How MC's take this rap game for granted 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

I don't understand it 

(I don't understand it) 

How MC's take this rap game for granted 

I don't understand it
