writer's block

brother ali

i ain't trying to be one of them dudes

that make hundreds of new songs and none of them are good

some of them are cool but ain't saying nothing new

running through a verse just for something to do

i wanna be the cat that put the straw on the back

of the camel and send him to the chiroprac

i wanna write a line that's in your head all day

songs that make you say you never felt that way

look i'm trying to give myself goosebumps okay?

find the truth inside me and put it on display

many dedicated folks

listen to me close

i open my inner soul and slip it in my quotes

some flood the blogs

some flood the streets

i don't flood nothing i'm watering the seeds

i walk away from mcs offering me cheese

to author a 16 and drop it on the beat

and it's not like money ain't something that i need

there's a business side and i wanna succeed

plus i gotta wife and a couple kids to feed

but if i sell my love then whats left for me?

sometimes i don't write a lot

i know some folks call that writers block

i just call it my process

it comes out when it's ready to i guess

i don't wanna let nobody down so

here's some new shit you tell me how it sounds

i ain't trying to be difficult or no shit

it just hurts too bad to try to force it

had a week off and a short tour break

i flew out to seattle to go and build with jake

he give me the breaks that the famous dude would take

i'm hyped

imagining the magic we'll create

i love my family

but damn

they distract me

when i'm at home someones always yelling daddy!"
