Sometimes

Verse 1 Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick Sometimes I love rhyming, sometimes it gets me sick Sometimes I wanna skip the struggle and just be rich Win the lottery or something or move a couple of bricks but shit Sometimes I think about jail, when I get letters from my dog in the mail Sometimes I feel like I failed, because I'm eating, gaining weight But my dude next to me is starving, staring at my plate Sometimes I wanna reach 'em sometimes I wanna teach 'em Tell the kids stay in school, study hard, live decent But I was raised in these streets Where either we moving keys, shooting threes or you weak Sometimes I think how long I been doing music Back when I couldn't get a beat CD from any producer It makes me think about why I'm still doing it Sometimes it's for the children, they the future, other times it's for the loot I know you looking at me wishing that you had my job Thinking 'oh it can't be that hard To put words together and find more words that rhyme with those' But sometimes at 5'o'clock I wish I could go home You lucky Well not lucky, but your life has simplicity, mine doesn't and I'm so contradictory One day I wanna help, give to charities, spread out the wealth Next day I wanna make it, spend it all on myself Chorus Sometimes I don't wanna be alone then Sometimes I wanna be on my own and Sometimes I wanna have me a drink Sometimes I wanna smoke and just sit there and think about My life, knowing I'mma die, don't know when, don't know why No I can't change, no I can't cry But I sit and analyze a lotta things through my mind sometimes Verse 2 I think about my people's division Vice lords, gangta disciples, blooding and crippin' And would we be tripping on getting ice If we was still out fighting for civil rights? Sometimes I'm up at night, thinking bout my career I wonder will I make it this year Sometimes I wish the label wasn't so scared Of making something like this a single, but in the club this ain't what I wanna hear Some rhymes I wanna be like Mos Def and Kweli Another verse I'll sound like MOP God listen to me, does poppin' at people that's hating on me Mean eventually it's meant that the devil is waitin' on me huh? There's days I'm quoting biblical scriptures Other days I walk around toting militant pistols I spot a happy couple thinking ooh I want a commitment But then I see a fat ass and think I want someone different Sometimes I want a ho sometimes I like to trick Sometimes I want a woman sometimes I want a chick Sometimes I want somebody I can really kick it with Other times I want a girl that won't say shit I really wanna bless you wit knowledge You wanna vote? I want to break down thee electoral college But who the hell cares? I'll just tell you some garbage Like bust guns, stack ones, sell drugs Hit the club, that'll get you much farther you know Chorus Verse 3 Sometimes I wanna be so famous I can't go to the mall Sometimes I don't wanna be noticed at all I wanna fall so deep in love I forget other broads But then I get a phone call from a shorty wit no drawers Sometimes I want a smart girl with a nice brain Other times I just want some nice brain Or a light rain then a bright sun Sometimes I wanna have a daughter or a bright son It don't matter, sometimes I want a Benz or maybe a Cadillac Sometimes I wanna turn back time and bring Daddy back Sometimes I want real estate, stocks and property Other times I'm on some nigga shit chains and watches Pieces and bracelets, half my budget on colored diamonds With the transparent setting I told you I'm sometimey Sometimes it's Benihana's Sometimes it's Wendy's, McDonalds sometimes I'm making you dance Other times I tell you my problems Outro Sometimes I feel up Sometimes I feel down Somedays I feel like I still wanna get around Sometimes I wanna be mainstream Other days I'm underground Wanna be on the big screen Next day don't wanna be found Some days I don't wanna wake up Some nights I can't go to sleep At times I wanna be myself Other days I don't wanna be me
