Matter 101
You have you fight for her
Yeah, but I try, I try hard
Try harder
No but you don't know, you don't know
I don't know what?
Yeah, you don't know what it's like
When you try and you try, and you try
And you try but you don't ever get there
You can say what you want
You can pose and front but yo
It don't really matter, you can scream
You can yell, succeed or fail
But you'll slowly start to shatter
You can fight, you can write
You can piss and gripe
And try to climb up the ladder
But know this, the abyss will swallow
And kiss as you become decomposed matter
I don't care if my record sells
Or if thousands crowd and they yell
I don't care if the hip-hop heads turn away
And say, "Pigeon John has turned gay"
See I don't care workin' as an office clerk
To pay rent and to save my sense
And I don't care if only two people come to my show
I'll still make dents come
You can say what you want
You can pose and front but yo
It don't really matter, you can scream
You can yell, succeed or fail
But you'll slowly start to shatter
You can fight, you can write
You can piss and gripe
And try to climb up the ladder
But know this, the abyss will swallow
And kiss as you become decomposed matter
I don't mind not being known
But being an example that will only be cloned
I don't mind being myself
Even if it holds me from possible wealth
See I don't mind living true life
And having that peace and the presence of strife
And I don't mind if it's night or day
Because in the end we will all pass away
All my niggaz in jail come sing my song
All my niggaz that don't know that daddy's singing
All my niggaz that don't got no money sing along
Sing my song, you like her, she don't like you
Sing it, they don't know, same old times
Same old times gonna be all right
