Lyrics Somethin' That Means Somethin' - J Dilla

Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'

I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'

Wasn't a black prophet, wasn't in it for the profit?
Had a talk with Charlie Brown, he was like yo' man get off it
It's a business
The record companies are quick to end the fantasy
You're trapped in and he tapped in my frequency

Now I'm frequently goin' over such and such ends
That such and such owes
It's later for the fly girls and hoes
'Cause in this capitalistic society, money is all

Fuck continuing college, I was too small to play ball
So I grabbed the mic device
Never thought about it twice
If you think this is a game nigga, you better think twice

I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'

Now time is just a faze and
Life is just a riddle like
If you build a twinkie there's
A man in the middle with a

Chick on the side that's along
For the fun so I see her as a stallion
And I ride everyone, ban together
If you're in the same level

Most of us are free based
On bring rebels fightin' causes
Against the devil in the
Heart of round meadows

Either verbally or with the silhouettes
Eyes cold as dark parks or
Steel metal the world is never
Settle 'cause it rotates like

Ho cakes under glass, it's all
About ya future yet it's all
About ya past like how many
Faces did ya mold in ya mask?

Before your free at last
Eye ask, to be or not
People like ta
See ya rot and die
(See ya rot)

I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'

I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'

I'm the F the A the T the L the I the P
And everything I say be either fat or fly
You best believe, I put in time to conceive
Deep concentration from sunrise to eve

And even in my sleep sometimes
Rhymes formulate
Free form, lyrical storms fallin'
From a cloudy brain

In my dream like state
Then I awake
To make these silly saps collapse
As I dilapidate the wack

When it comes to rhymes, I'm kind of like a Mack
I got these flows strollin' up and down the track
So the dough I stack up in piles and piles
For my lyrical creation

Travel miles and miles
To reach my destination
Been through so many trials
And many tribulations

But I do this shit, I do this shit, I do this shit
For the people of my nation

I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'

I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
I gotta kick somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
Somethin' that means somethin'
