What I Write
Elzhi

[Intro: Female voice sample]

Suddenly? [x8]


[sample repeated throughout the song]


[Verse 1:]

Sometimes I write about the streets and how life is expirin

Mainly through a choir then

Neighbors inquirin, hearin shots firin

Police sirens, been in car chases, I be in Scarface's tire and

Snitches per-spirin, cause they wearin wires when

They know they can be killed by who built the steet empires and

It's hard to get a job, cause ain't nobody hirin

And more people get laid off, than retirin

I write about the liar, the preacher with the choir and

The church who didn't soul search and never was desirin

How money's inspirin, the youth and the environment

Just tryin to get flyer than the elders they admirin

Don't want to be a fireman, cause dealers get you high and

Spend dough, buy a Benz and furnish they entire den

Look into my eyes again, see it for yourself

See the jewel is for your brain, the G is for your wealth


[Chorus: w/ ad libs]

Sometimes you may hear me writin that next shit

Different from how some rhyme

You like it when I write that hit

You love it when I write that shit

Sure you do, don't try to fight that

So when I hear a beat, an idea appears (suddenly)

Then another rhyme is written (suddenly)

I put it down, put it out, you listen to it then it hits your soul

(suddenly) Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah...)


[Verse 2:]

Sometimes I write about the ladies, the ones with the tatas and the apple bottoms

They ones I gave the eye highs to when I got on

Because before they didn't cherish me

I write about the smart ones, the ones that need therapy

Them hoodrat broads, them afrocentric queens

And them ones that let you get between their jeans for the green

I wrote about my exes, Takara, Alexis

To write about the next miss and how great the sex is

Ones who were sexist, those who throw hexes

Crack Beckses and ask you were your Lex is

That baby mama drama, them drama mama babies

The skeez, the ones who like to tease, but are the maybe's

The independent ladies, hookers and them daisies


The sane ones, the crazies, the straight ones, the gays, deez

Are women that have been in my life

Now will it end when I begin with a wife?

I don't know


[Chorus: w/ ad libs]

Sometimes you may hear me writin that next shit

Different from how some rhyme

You like it when I write that hit

You love it when I write that shit

Sure you do, don't try to fight that

So when I hear a beat, an idea appears (suddenly)

Then another rhyme is written (suddenly)

I put it down, put it out, you listen to it then it hits your soul

(Suddenly) Yeah, yeah, one more time, check it out


Sometimes you may hear me writin that next shit

Different from how some rhyme

You like it when I write that hit

You love it when I write that shit

Sure you do, don't try to fight that

So when I hear a beat, an idea appears (suddenly)

Then another rhyme is written (suddenly)

I put it down, put it out, you listen to it then it hits your soul

(Suddenly) Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah...)


[Verse 3:]

Sometimes I write about a theme

From out a motion picture or somethin out a dream

Or in a chosen scripture, a fictional novel

The WAIT your alive so

Like a revival, Jesus and rival

There's really no rival

I'm too diverse, when I do my verse

You, you, die worse

Rather rap shit or battle, decoy, slowly rot

Like it or not boy, it's gon' be hot

Street shit, club shit, the flow blow the spot

Like it or not boy, it's gon' be hot

Girl shit, brag shit, your boy knows me not

If he ever doubts (boy it's gon' be hot!) (hot)


[Outro: Female voice sample]

Suddenly - repeated until the end
