(专辑: Trail Of Destruction: A Chronicle Of Epic Disses - 2013)
Hey there SwizZzle, guess who it is? It's your old pal Jokerr and I'm giving you the
biz Cause socio-politcally, we're never eye to eye But you're not a
bad guy, and I
consider you a
friend And Frie-friends don't tell friends what they want to hear They always said a
good friend is a
good mirror I
don't know who you have, but I'll be there for you I
know it's gotta be tough (In the
background) Looking at the
crowd go nuts (Over that sound) And show after show, that you never headline, which how you long to do Woah, I
know it's gotta be sad (In your minds eye) Seeing what you want so bad (From the
sideline) Ohh poor SwizZzle, I
can't even imagine, what you go through, I
mean... It's gotta be, so so hard To be a
sidekick, stuck living in the
shadow of a
giant So so hard With everybody watching cause you know they'll never understand It's gotta be, so so hard To be a
sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might get So so hard When you're whole identity's defined by the
efforts of another man It's gotta be It's hard on tour, knowing in your mind, if you didn't show up, the
show would go along fine Cause, nobody wants to hear the
right hand man, you and Krizz Kaliko could probably start your own hype man band Oh sure, you could both tour, go and hit the
road and everything you've hoped for could be so yours Oh man, it'd be so grand, think about performing at a
whole damn show of only your fans There'd be no Hop, no Dizzy, no Dame No half of ten percent of half the
dough that the
show bringed Everybody singing out your songs, buying your merch, girls wearing your shirts, screaming you're name Ooh-Ooh, think of that show, when the
opening act's closed, the
lights turn low, and you step on stage to that crowd dream And all ten crickets in the
crowd sing It's gotta be, so so hard To be a
sidekick, stuck living in the
shadow of a
giant So so hard With everybody watching cause you know they'll never understand It's gotta be, so so hard To be a
sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might get So so hard When you're whole identity's defined by the
efforts of another man It's gotta be It's gotta be tough on the
sidelines, watching other rappers grind, tryna' get a
little something going When you just sit there in your room on your lazy ass, getting thousands of dollars of free promotion I
couldn't help but to notice how you talk about rich folks never give enough to help the
people at the
bottom Hey, but you sitting getting your career fed to you on silver spoon of courtesy of Hopsin It's got to be hard It's got to be hard It's got to be hard Hey there SwizZzle, what's there to do, when the
whole world's moving on without poor you? While Dizzy already dropped his album Four years and you're stilling sitting there without one Now I
hate to be the
one to break it to you baby boy, but I'mma make you face a
fact many may avoid You're not as good an artist as you think you are. (As you think you are.) You don't shoot your own videos, Hop produces every beat you ever rocked, and even does your mixes, so How much expecting to be given yo, I
mean are you gonna be able to stand up and take it upon yourself to get your own? No, no, no I
didn't figure so, so until you get your own fans, bitch zip it closed My apologies, I
shoudn't let it bother me, I
mean after all It's gotta be, so so hard To be a
sidekick, stuck living in the
shadow of a
giant So so hard With everybody watching cause you know they'll never understand It's gotta be, so so hard To be a
sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might get So so hard When you're whole identity's defined by the
efforts of another man It's gotta be
