Stop complaining
Stop complaining
Now many songs do you figure that Ive written
Since I originally started making records in this business
Back beginning in college, and its been a menace since then
But the principal challenge, it aint really that different
Its about me not repeating myself at all
Or at least repeating myself the least amount, I suppose
The reason being is that we need some songs
That lead us off the beaten path between my rhymes
But listen though, its difficult now a-days
To really go against the grain, get you some accolades
Especially with these frigid, finicky, fickle-ass motherfuckers
Think they finally figured you out, the fake-ass fuckers
Stop complaining I know, its just that certain shit pisses me off
Stop complaining What am I gonna do? I mean
Man, fuck that shit, I pay my taxes when Im asked to
Im not enthusiastic about it, but shit I make it happen
Yeah, its last minute, but goddammit they cash it
This is fiscal harassment! They keep touching my assets!
Now I imagine I might be feeling different about it
If it was given outright, witnessing it helping somebody
But it just so happens in life, the school districts too crowded
There aint no teachers in sight, thats why the kids are so rowdy
I just imagine some asshole with glasses on up at the capital
One of a thousand pawns packed in an office, cramped up like animals
Pictures of his sister, his mixture Lhasa Apso poodle
His 2.6 kids and the missus thumb-tacked to his cubicle
So damned detached from the average mans planet he cant fathom
That he can ever be anything other than stats, fat and taxable
Hes getting his usual, ritual 2 oclock cup of noodles on
Fucking you with your W-2, with his John Denver music on
Hey.um.oooh, I love this one. Hey Lil? Can you get me the file on.?
Blah blah blah blah blah?
Yeah.hes making too much money
Stop complaining I know, Ladies.its just
Stop complaining Im trying, Im really trying
Stop complaining Yeah I know, lets give it.
Stop complaining I wonder what do they say about me?
Is he a role model we can all follow full throttle
So we dont bother having to create our own model
That we go by? A fall guy I can hold accountable?
Cuz I dont want to hold the bottle for my own child
Is it really my place to raise little Billy
When Hilly and William should be building with him in the living room
Instead of bailing on him, and alienating him, and basically failing him
Sending him sailing on a mission to oblivion?
Then, inevitably on his day in court and Billy aint to blame
The bailiff asks him to raise his arm and say his name in court
Of course his parents aint in court, they play it off
Saying it aint his fault
Blame it on Asian Born, or his favorite artist
Beg your pardon?
Now, I do admit that in the music business
People do and say some really stupid shit
Kids are zooming in and using what we do and say
I can see how you can say do not abuse your influence
But to all the Hillaries and the Williams of the new millennium
If you really arent feeling like living with the children will be a fulfilling experience
Or something you envision yourself willingly
And unconditionally committed to from the beginning
Maybe you shouldnt be bumping bellies from the giddyup anyway, dummy
Stop complaining Well, for now
Stop complaining Man, YOU stop complaining
Stop complaining
Stop complaining Whatever
