《Writer’s Block》歌词

[00:00:00] Writer's Block - Brother Ali

[00:00:02] If I don't get this in one take imma quit rappin

[00:00:06] The whole song I swear to god

[00:00:08] I'm supposed to be a professional

[00:00:10] I ain't trying to be one of them dudes

[00:00:12] That make hundreds of new songs and none of them are good

[00:00:15] Some of them are cool but ain't saying nothing new

[00:00:17] Running through a verse just for something to do

[00:00:19] I wanna be the cat that put the straw on the back

[00:00:22] Of the camel and send him to the chiroprac

[00:00:24] I wanna write a line that's in your head all day

[00:00:27] Songs that make you say you never felt that way

[00:00:29] Look I'm trying to give myself goosebumps okay

[00:00:32] Find the truth inside me and put it on display

[00:00:34] Many dedicated folks listen to me close

[00:00:37] I open my inner soul and slip it in my quotes

[00:00:39] Some flood the blogs some flood the streets

[00:00:42] I don't flood nothing I'm watering the seeds

[00:00:44] I walk away from mcs offering me cheese

[00:00:47] To author a 16 and drop it on the beat

[00:00:49] And it's not like money ain't something that I need

[00:00:52] There's a business side and I wanna succeed

[00:00:54] Plus I gotta wife and a couple kids to feed

[00:00:56] But if I sell my love then what's left for me

[00:01:00] Sometimes I don't write a lot

[00:01:02] I know some folks call that writers block

[00:01:05] I just call it my process

[00:01:07] It comes out when it's ready to I guess

[00:01:10] I don't wanna let nobody down so

[00:01:12] Here's some new sh*t you tell me how it sounds

[00:01:14] I ain't trying to be difficult or no sh*t

[00:01:17] It just hurts too bad to try to force it

[00:01:19] Had a week off and a short tour break

[00:01:21] I flew out to seattle to go and build with jake

[00:01:24] He give me the breaks that the famous dude would take

[00:01:26] I'm hyped imagining the magic we'll create

[00:01:29] I love my family but damn they distract me

[00:01:31] When I'm at home someones always yelling daddy

[00:01:34] Need to get away badly and focus

[00:01:36] But it's been a couple weeks since I really wrote sh*t

[00:01:39] I'm strugglin'

[00:01:40] Up late hummin'

[00:01:41] Pace around the hotel the words ain't comin'

[00:01:44] Wrote a little something threw it away f**k it

[00:01:46] Have an artist freak out moment start buggin'

[00:01:48] Maybe it's a wash my fire's just lost

[00:01:51] I'm probably a fraud that got lucky before

[00:01:53] If I let everybody down what's it all for

[00:01:56] Looking at seattle from the 23 rd floor

[00:01:59] Crack the window it swung open wide

[00:02:01] Nothing between me and the world outside

[00:02:03] What if I decide to lean forward and fly

[00:02:06] They say that's the way donny hathaway died

[00:02:08] Such a beautiful life ended in suicide

[00:02:11] Maybe trying to write was tearing him up inside

[00:02:13] Maybe trying to write was tearing him up inside

[00:02:16] I swear that trying to write was tearing me up inside

[00:02:18] I bet that I'd regret it the second that I did it

[00:02:21] Wishing that instant that I could continue living

[00:02:23] I pushed the window closed said man you trippin

[00:02:26] Sat down on the bed and wrote this one

[00:02:29] Sometimes I don't write a lot

[00:02:31] I know some folks out there call that writers block

[00:02:34] I just call it my process

[00:02:36] It comes out when it's ready to I guess

[00:02:39] I don't wanna let nobody down so

[00:02:41] Here's some new sh*t you tell me how it sounds

[00:02:43] I ain't trying to be difficult or no sh*t

[00:02:46] It just hurts too bad for me to force it
