Problem B from Manifest Destiny by Nick Pratt

Problem B
(Prod. By Solar Slim of Otaku Gang)


[Barry B Spoken Word]
I feel like everybody wants you to be fake and go far.
“Be fake. Go far. Be fake. Go far. Kiss some ass to get some results.”
Man, fuck that!
Why can’t I be real, stay on this lane that I’m on, and get the results that I need?
You already know what the fuck it is, like, we really not playin.
Shit’s gonna go the way we want it, because we know it is, because we’re gonna make that happen.
I’m not gon kiss ass out here.
I’m not gon do none of that.
Soo..
I don’t know if that’s my problem, but…


[Hook]
Lemme tell you what my problem be, tell you what my problem be,
I don’t give you what you want from me
Tell you what my problem be, lemme tell you what my problem be,
I ain’t exactly what you want from me
Tell you what my problem be, lemme tell you what my problem be,
I don’t give you what you want from me
Tell you what my problem be, lemme tell you what my problem be
I gotta keep these devils offa me
Tell you what my problem be


[Verse]
I spent way too much fuckin time worried bout doin y’all
That shit y’all makin might be bangin but that’s you and y’all
And my mistake was thankin that I need to do it all
Because I can, but if it ain’t right it won’t do at all
I had to cut off tha radio and get off tha blogs, I just ain’t feel them songs
How they be gettin all tha love but shit tha feelins gone?
They askin me for hits but that shit ain’t hittin for long
I got some country rap soul to get off in yo bones—instead
So take this to tha head, I rather gift tha fruit of life than get all of this bread
I rather be enlightened to tha ills than to be dead off to tha world
Because I chose to fuxk off all my time instead
And that feel like my problem


[Hook]
Lemme tell you what my problem be, tell you what my problem be,
I don’t give you what you want from me
Tell you what my problem be, lemme tell you what my problem be,
I ain’t exactly what you want from me
Tell you what my problem be, lemme tell you what my problem be,
I don’t give you what you want from me
Tell you what my problem be, lemme tell you what my problem be
I gotta keep these devils offa me
Tell you what my problem be


Why tha fuxk I can’t just be me when I’m wit you and yall?
Why I always gotta change my views and how I talk?
Why I always gotta smile when I ain’t cool at all? Ain’t in tha mood at all?
I got emotions I cant help it I’m just human y’all
You don’t live like me, you don’t look like me
You don’t get looked at by police and then get shook like me
So please just tell me how good life be
From the other side of that glass window
What that hit fo? You see me and my kinfolk lookin in close
TV say i can get close but history say we been broke
My pops say thangs dun changed since ‘58 but it ain’t shit tho
Cuz they still killin black folks in tha streets with no penalty
And thats tha shit my job want me to bend a crooked lip fo?
Mayne fuxk that
