Yo, let me calculate how my struggles began

In a foreign land, with no family - no friends

Wanna be a rapper, yeah that's right

Never had the chance to start the thing twice

My situation crucial, I'm to blame

didn't know what I was in for, rings o' pain

The promise was made, yo, they felt real sugar

They're like, come on, Tiger One be a real sport

The partner jacked me, I was new to the game

You feeling me sob for you, what's my name

I had to chill, you wasn't ready for me yet

Too much skill swept me when I hit the sack

Bad contracts, yeah I signed

You know you all, you can kiss my What!

It ain't a pain to say, you know the game

Can you feel my pain, tell me what's my name

No more pain, baby

Tiger One, baby

Talk about all you whack producers

Has no real talent, yo, you straight up losers

To all you so-called singers who lip sync every show

You come to my studio

we throw them "whoo!" out the door!

Back in the days when I was on the go

I used to sing my demos to those white studios

They call us saying "We like you but you sound too black"

And I hit them real fast, yo, what's up with that!

You keep talking off the side of your neck

Boy don't you know you're bound to get smacked

So pop producers who don't know how to rap

We had to rap a little something, went like this:

I love you, sky is blue,

Girl I want to be with you

Driving me insane!

Can you feel my pain?

What's my name?

Tell me can I change the game?

All I'm saying is, that I'm free from the chain that

Simply straight up locked my brain

I got my own now, no more shame

You can sit back and cry, cause I know the game

It's Tiger One, baby, my style, Mr. Release

Count the album, I know you're gonna feel it

No more "I love you - sky is blue"

We got it locked now!

Tell me whatcha gonna do

What!

You know for real though, you know what I'm saying

How y'all gonna keep a artist locked up in a cage

Have him do this propaganda, you know what I'm saying

Now I'm free! The real artist is open!

Tiger One baby, feel it!

I'm telling you ain't no more of that "I love you - sky is blue" boo

You know what I'm saying, I'm bringing it to you real

Check this out, What!
