Big Daddy Kane - Troubled Man Lyrics
[singer wails for first 0:59 of song][big daddy kane]Its hard enough for a black man tryin to make it todayStrugglin to find the right waySo I say, times is hard, word to godRecessions, depressions, the whole nine yardsThat itself makes a brother wanna breakBut bein an entertainer puts the icin on the cakeCause I can remember when I looked up to kurtis blowAnd said thats where I gotta goSo here I am, paid in the rap tradeBut still gettin played, for my darker shadeThats not the only p-r-o-b-l-e-mMan, thats just the beginnin of themFor example, I cant walk the streets alone.... without bein knownDont get me wrong, cause deep in my heart I do love itBut I cant even dig up my nose in public, huhMc rell couldnt have said it no plainerYeah, thats the life of an entertainerAnd the times are so hard to understandThat it makes me a troubled man* mister cee cuts up chuck d saying I got so much trouble on my mind *[big daddy kane]I like women, but I hate womankindLove can be just too much for the mindCause Ive toured the world from state to stateAnd wouldnt lay down tonight without havin a mateMarried girls in tight miniskirtsThat left they husband waitin at the concertI dont discriminate with girls that I talk toI take em mello-yello to chocolate yoo-hooBut now I couldnt find the right girl to fit meNot even if she walked into my face and bit meYou see its hard to make a woman your wifeWhen youve been humpin married woman the most of your lifeYou better believe thats true, word upCause if it happened to me, then it can happen to youIm not tryin to say that a woman is scandalousIm just showin you who the troubled man is* mister cee cuts up chuck d saying I got so much trouble on my mind *[big daddy kane]Brothers from the past.... in the streets of bed-stuy or my ? sara j? classSome of them are cool, some of them at times can be a botherThinkin I got jobs to give like roy rogersI try to explain Im not on tour yetAnd they say, you think youre all that? yeah, I bet!So when I see em on the solo tipI gotta throw joints to prove my pointJust when I thought that I had the neighborhood supportHere comes another battle to be fought, huhYou know they even tried to start a aids rumorDiggin the kind of life, that would maybe doom aBrother of my priniciple, youd think some of these peopleWould be more sensisble, because a lie like thatDidnt bring my sex flow to an endMaaaaaaaan, Im still gettin skins!And the beat goes on until the thrill is goneAnd life is the same old songAnd maybe one day you can understandWhat its like to be a troubled man* mister cee cuts up chuck d saying I got so much trouble on my mind *
