Let Me Explain Lyrics
[Hook]
You got the glamour, the glitz, the fortune and fame
But was it worth the sacrifice for the portion you gained?
You live the high life, and now it's taking a toll
But that's the price you got to pay for forsaking your soul
But wait a second, give me time to explain
Women and fast cars and diamond rings could poison a rap star
But wait a second, give me time to explain
Women and fast cars and diamond rings could poison a rap star
[Verse 2]
So the decision was made and now you sealed your faith
Only concerned with going platinum and the mills you make
You chose the path, but it was out of pure desperation
Thinking you might get rid of all the stress that you were facing
But as a result the pressure is only escalating
You used to drop jewels in your rhymes, educating
Now the image of a thug is what your pen is portraying
So you could get some royalty checks while your record is playing
You a little too obsessed with the attention you gaining
And maybe getting money is why your perception is changing
Plus your friends are saying you're living foul and reckless
Sleeping with groupie chicks who always surround your presence
Your girl found out and now she's moving out your residence
Took your child, split your bank accounts and investments
People that you call your friends got foul intentions
They only stick around when they see you counting presidents
But you don't care, you're just enjoying your success at this
Living out the dream you write about in your sentences
A little fame and you haven't been the same ever since
But now your whole music career is losing relevance
Forcing you to wake up and come back to your senses
Got you looking back thinking how much you regretted this shit
You came from the bottom and you travelled far
Only to see the fast life could poison a rap star
You got the glamour, the glitz, the fortune and fame
But was it worth the sacrifice for the portion you gained?
You live the high life, and now it's taking a toll
But that's the price you got to pay for forsaking your soul
But wait a second, give me time to explain
Women and fast cars and diamond rings could poison a rap star
But wait a second, give me time to explain
Women and fast cars and diamond rings could poison a rap star
[Verse 2]
So the decision was made and now you sealed your faith
Only concerned with going platinum and the mills you make
You chose the path, but it was out of pure desperation
Thinking you might get rid of all the stress that you were facing
But as a result the pressure is only escalating
You used to drop jewels in your rhymes, educating
Now the image of a thug is what your pen is portraying
So you could get some royalty checks while your record is playing
You a little too obsessed with the attention you gaining
And maybe getting money is why your perception is changing
Plus your friends are saying you're living foul and reckless
Sleeping with groupie chicks who always surround your presence
Your girl found out and now she's moving out your residence
Took your child, split your bank accounts and investments
People that you call your friends got foul intentions
They only stick around when they see you counting presidents
But you don't care, you're just enjoying your success at this
Living out the dream you write about in your sentences
A little fame and you haven't been the same ever since
But now your whole music career is losing relevance
Forcing you to wake up and come back to your senses
Got you looking back thinking how much you regretted this shit
You came from the bottom and you travelled far
Only to see the fast life could poison a rap star
