"Who You Talking To?" lyrics
(feat. Freddie Old Soul)
[James Baldwin:]
A man is built as he's built
And there's nothing one can do about that
And whether he's wrong or right
[Rhymefest:]
If you see me talkin' to myself in the middle of the street
Who can answer my questions better than me?
Self? 'Yesss Fessss' Is we working out today
Or laying 'round scrolling on the 'Gram - working out the day
I got some rhymes to write and I got some bills to pay
Then I turn the PS5 on, aiight - well not today
I ain't like this usually, talkin' to the future me
That's lookin' at the present me, like bro, 'what you do to me?'
Me!? What's in it for me? 'What's in it for me nigga?!'
What's in it for me? 'What's in it for me nigga?'
I sat around procrastinatin' smokin weed witcha
Me, my self and I, fake smiling in a team picture
I could've made a couple mill a long time ago
I could've did the same deal a long time ago
Begging on my death bed
Lord it ain't my time to go
Jesus laughing at yo ass - 'Boah what you cryin' fo'?'
'Member we was 22, wilding out drinkin' goose
Bein' loose, gettin' high as hell without a parachute (Brand new)
Cars and designer suits
Wish I had the discipline to be a president like Obama do
Living on front end, better look behind you too
Now you want the time to do, the things you had the time to do
What's in it for me? 'What's in it for me nigga?'
What's in it for me?! 'What's in it for me nigga?'
Ya diabetes type 2
Can't even see nigga
How you survive Chicago
And let the sweets getcha?
[Freddie Old Soul:]
Niggas took them Debbie Cakes too far, listen
Remember days you would lock yourself in your room, and write bars
Dinner was ready you starved for MF Doom
You was that hungry and all you had was school
Ain't even have to wash them dishes like your older sister do
You used to dream into existence
Mama paid college tuition
Had a crib, but you was smoking weed and focused on them bitches
Well what's in it for me
You could have got a degree
Went to Chicago for the summer and got lost in the scene
I was mad whole time Clark Atlanta said you can leave
GPA 3.5 you chose to learn from the streets
YCA done dried up this is not 2014
You tried to move to LA but got pregnant before the leave
Now every time you try to write the baby cries
Went from ditching the studio to never having the time
Well what's in it for me what's in it for me nigga
Yo babies sleep turn on that beat and get deep nigga
You in Chicago the winter ain't for the weak
Every time you Netflix and chill is a winter you gon' see
I ain't tryna say you failed but you made it harder
I ain't saying don't have fun but you got a daughter
So many legends still here stuck in the Chi
I wanna live all of my dreams can't keep them locked up inside
So what's in it for me? What's in it for me nigga?
What's in it for me? What's in it for me nigga?
[Nikki Giovanni:]
But that has to be dealt with because they're constantly being fed that their ego
Needs to be supplemented to what is constantly called 'The Energy'
Which makes no sense to me
Because why should somebody that doesn't even know you, run your life
You know why should I run some young kids life
And I feel ya know imenately equipped
A man is built as he's built
And there's nothing one can do about that
And whether he's wrong or right
[Rhymefest:]
If you see me talkin' to myself in the middle of the street
Who can answer my questions better than me?
