Could Lyrics by Eric West

2014

[Background Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Is someone there?
Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing my mind?
Am I all alone?
Won't you rescue me
Talking to myself staring at the sea

[Verse 1]
There's so many entertainers you'd think this was A&E
Other than Shady Records I can't name no true Emcees
Who are still alive and are around today
Hip-Hop had died and I found its grave
Dug it up, found a picture of Eazy-E
I think it was shitty how he died of HIV
My generation be praising people like Tyga and Wayne
Sorry Big and Pac, we're disgracing the name of the game
Whatever happened to people blasting NWA?
Whatever happened to rappers giving meaning to the things that they say?
We gotta start thinking about the bigger picture
Cuz I know Proof didn't die in a bar sipping some liquor
We forget how easy we could go down like Big L
But people forget that cuz they're blinded by big sales
I bet my peers never even heard of the brotha Mac Dre
He brought peace to rap, his death was a sad day


[Hook] x2
But what you guys don't see are the things that matter
All you want is to be caught up in laughter
Never paid attention to the things that you should
Don't focus on what will, focus on the things that could

[Verse 2]
What about the day they capped Freaky Tah?
That don't matter to you as long as no one's critiquing yall
Mausberg, Charizma, they ain't get to see their success
Sometimes I think famous people forget that they're blessed
I've never seen a spitter nowadays that's depressed
They get their paychecks and forget about all the rest
Like nothing matters to them cuz they're not affected
Sadness is a disease but they don't get infected
They got a vaccination, whatever's expected
To be handed to them is there but they don't feel connected
To those material objects just cuz that's all that surrounds them
I lost 3 pill bottles and now that I found them
I can pop these pain killers like I got nothing to do
If they heal physically they should work emotionally too
Damn, can't tell if I've ever heard some Subroc
He reminded us to stay alert when we're walking down the block

[Hook]
