Don't Understand

(album: Disposable Arts - 2001)

And I don't understand, why
Yes, you are now rocking with the best

I don't do white music, I don't do black music
I make rap music, for hip hop kids
Y'all know what it is when I get biz with this
Flows that's hard enough it could hit your kids with this
Thugs walk through Queensbridge with this
Italian cats drive through Bay Ridge with this
Pump it in they IROC, your block to my block
I make hits like Chuck Knoblauch
But don't make no error or get it confused
You'll find yourself gettin abused, you fitting to lose
I'mma send this out to everybody
Every nigga, every chick, every person up in every party
For all the shorties in the tight denim
And all the hood rats getting jealous startin to start a fight with' em
And to the D's in the black Taurus
Loading up the lead in the clip put a gat for us [*echos*] for us

And I don't understand, why
Yes, you are now rocking with the best

Oh! [*echos*]
When ya pump it in ya BM's ya pump it like this
When ya pump it in ya Range, pump it like this
When ya pump it in ya Cadillac, pump it like this
Way out from Brooklyn, pump it like this
To my people out in Queens, pump it like this
To my people in the boogie down pump it like this
People uptown, pump it like this
Pump it like this, yeah, pump it like this

I get the feeling that these cats is thinking, that I might be on the verge of sinking
Either they weeded or they heavily drinking
Niggas know that I'm steadily seeking to readily weaken
These so-called thug cats with a melody beacon
That the world hear, loud and clear over the airwaves
I move up on the charts like stairways
I bus raps like trailways and greyhound
This is for them kids that was shot on the playground
Yo, don't know why the streets is so evil
To this ghetto shit there's no equal, them yo people
I love rap no matter how much I say I hate it
Some support it, some cats player hate it
But understand that I'm very thorough
And I'm not gon' stop 'til my name is heard in every borough
Every borough
Every borough

And I don't understand, why
(Oh, oh, take that turn it up now)
Yes, you are now rocking with the best

To my people out in Cali, pump it like this
To my people down in Boston, pump it like this
My people out in D.C. pump it like this
My people down in Atlanta pump it like this
To my people down in Philly, pump it like this
To my people out in Texas, pump it like this
To my people out in Queens, pump it like this, hey
Pump it like this, pump it like this

There's a lot of love that's lost when you start being the boss
And ya name start to be in The Source and UGNR
Cats just start teeing off and taking shots
See you making knots now they waiting in vacant lots
Yo, I just want to rock the newest sneaker
Or own a beeper, and hear my song come out the speaker
I never knew there'd be so much drama
I'ma send this out to all my niggas and all my niggas' babies mamas
On the block with the newest Prada
Getting a lotta, chips like Eric Estrada
Uh, what's up miss, put me on your list
So when ya pump it in your Beamer, ya pump it like this
Like this
Like this

What? What? What? What?
Turn it up now, stop playing
Turn it up now, stop playing
Turn it up now now, turn it up now now
Turn it up now now, stop playing

And I don't understand, why
Yes, you are now rocking with the best

If ya sitting on ya 20's, pump it like this
If ya getting cash money, pump it like this
If ya way out in Brooklyn, pump it like this
If ya chilling in the club, pump it like this
If ya chilling in ya mansion, pump it like this
If ya puffing on trees, pump it like this
If ya sipping on sizerp, pump it like this
What? Pump it like what? Hey pump it like what, like
Makes no sense just standing around
Pump yo fist, jump up and down
Makes no sense just standing around
Pump yo fist, jump up and down

Mashed by the sounds of the M to the A y'all

And I don't understand, why
Yes, you are now rocking with the best

Stop playing, blow it up now, it's ya birthday...
