Track #2 on J Burns' debut album, 60 Hours of Freedom

lyrics

What Am I

(Hook)
What Am I supposed to do, when I feel like I'm running out of time and the clocks tickin down on me?
Got a wife and a daughter and a full time job, and everybody's counting on me
Got no seconds for no games, people lookin at me strange, so at night Ima walk these streets
Aint a damn thing changed, ima still remain the same, Til they bury me, and rest in peace

(Verse 1)
Business is good, it could be better
love where im sittin', but damn nothins forever I,
promised my family that we would do this together
I wanted to be the leader but woke up as the professor now..
I'm here to teach, thats why I broke in this hook, and this life here it ain't as dope as it looks,
See there was, murder and mayhem dope and there's crook,
and these are the lessons im layin out im hopin you took
a couple of em, so just open ya book, and pick u a verse
Cuz even the best, they go through issues at first, I'm different it hurts, this hip hop is a gift and a curse,
they see my trail as im shiftin from first,
im pickin up speed, not hittin reverse
move out the way or go get u a nurse,
set up a funeral and pick u a hearse (homie) my bloods boiling' 110..
And I'm in the back gettin blunted again so tell me tell me tell me!

(Hook)

Aint a damn thing changed, ima still remain the same, Til they bury me, and rest in peace

(Verse 2)
Feel like I gave you everything that I had to,
now I gotta get past you, thats why I passed through
a phase where I felt like i was the best on the avenue
My attitude was fuck it, I don't care if I'm bashful
I can be bad too... Shit, I'll turn to an ass who is, allergic to makin music as simple as hatchoo
I am, that dude that be killin these tracks to,
keep my focus as bout as permanent as your tattoo, ooh
They really want it, they get crushed like a cashew,
the kill flow, turn ur shirt the color of Ragu,
a mad zoo, outkast, minus the badu, the big boys face, it was turning a tad blue,
huh is that true? How long in jail did his dad do?
Tryin to be a father now, I think that he's past due
Just let the interest grow
I heard the wise men once told him damn kid, you got tremendous flow, but dont pretend to know
cuz when your eyes widen up and the light hit the blue, it turns to indigo, yeah, and i swear to god I been down since
I stopped worrying about the dollars and I found sense
Uh, I swear to god I been down since
I stopped worrying about the dollars and I found sense..

What am I?
Who am I?
Where we goin... That's all that matters
60 hours
Stand up Portland
