What Is This Songtext
von MJG

What is this that I′m approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?


I'm a Memphis born pimp
Nigga don′t nobody wanna flex
Raised up in Orange Mound, live in T-E-X-A-S
Breakin' necks
Ain't no tellin′ what the future holds for thee
When he or she tries to bring they stupid shit to MJG
I thought that we could win the war
Conquer the battle, take the pain
Struggle through the fuckin′ strain
Beat the heat, soak the rain up
Ahh, I feel I wanna breathe again
But soon as I come up in life you tend to watch my dividends
Hopin' I slip and fall just so you can capitalize
Can′t fade my shit, it's legit, plus it′s nationalized
In the skies, phony sheisters take you right before your eyes
No surprise, all they ever wanted was a money ride
Sunny dried out game hustlers on they last leg
Game dead, all the shit they say be that same said shit
Sometimes, sometimes I feel I'm at the bottom of the list
What is this?

What is this? (Reality or just a dream?)
(Everything ain′t what it seems pictured on the TV screen)
What is this? (Visions of a broken hope)
(Strategies up in smoke, seriousness to every joke)

What is this that I'm approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?


Who woulda thought that in the midnight hour I could exercise a pen
Bring to life the sound effects to feel the thunder and the wind
In sets of ten, I lift your mind, strengthen up your weakened cells
Generate your inner spirit, leave you with some shit to tell
But still it seems all my dreams come with fuckin' side effects
I thought I seen the worst but I ain′t seen a damn thing yet
A lotta thieves outta nowhere
First time MC′s should thank God for first time platinum
That shit is hard, hell, let me put a bug in your ear, catch the buzz
What a lotta MC's portray today ain′t what they was
Or what they is, the lessons I learn is my life I live
Ain't worried ′bout when I'm gon′ receive it, I gots to give
Where your conscience at? How do you expect to prosper long
When blessings that were sent to you for reasons got you gone?
Damn, I thought I had the game tight in my fist
Came to find that I was tight in a twist
What is this?

What is this? (Reality or just a dream?)
(Everything ain't what it seems pictured on the TV screen)
What is this? (Visions of a broken hope)
(Strategies up in smoke, seriousness to every joke)

What is this that I'm approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?

How come every MC feel he got the skill to sell a mill
But when my record sell a mill, "
Aw hell, that shit just can′t be real"
I′m flabbergasted, am I the only rapper not afraid
To come with what I feel in my heart and get paid?
No enemies, at least that I know of, I'm for sure of
If you hate, I′ma show love, kick back and blow bud
I look over the shit that the people say who don't know me
Just like the hustlers who looked over them before me
You owe me, I owe you, we owe each other
So how the fuck you think I owe you somethin′
'Cause you don′t owe me nothin'?
You bluffin' with your career, still steps to be taken
I′m in it for the longevity
You racin′, misplacin' things you was taught
For the things of the world, gettin′ sold, bein' bought
Resist temptation ′cause temptation is a bitch
Where am I? (Where am I?) Am I?
What is this?

What is this? (Reality or just a dream?)
(Everything ain't what it seems pictured on the TV screen)
What is this? (Visions of a broken hope)
(Strategies up in smoke, seriousness to every joke)
What is this? (Reality or just a dream?)
(Everything ain′t what it seems pictured on the TV screen)
What is this? (Workin' hard to pass the cause)
(Try your best to do your part, try to be a megastar)

What is this that I'm approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?
What is this that I′m approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?
What is this that I′m approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?
What is this that I'm approaching?
What is this approaching me?
All the time of mine, well mine
Now what is this supposed to be?
