[Big Daddy Kane]



It's Hard Enough For A Black Man Tryin To Make It Today



Strugglin To Find The Right Way



So I Say, Times Is Hard, Word To God



Recessions, Depressions, The Whole Nine Yards



That Itself Makes A Brother Wanna Break



But Bein An Entertainer Puts The Icin On The Cake



Cause I Can Remember When I Looked Up To Kurtis Blow



And Said That's Where I Gotta Go



So Here I Am, Paid In The Rap Trade



But Still Gettin Played, For My Darker Shade



That's Not The Only P-R-O-B-L-E-M



Man, That's Just The Beginnin Of Them



For Example, I Can't Walk The Streets Alone..



.. Without Bein Known



Don't Get Me Wrong, Cause Deep In My Heart I Do Love It



But I Can't Even Dig Up My Nose In Public, Huh



MC Rell Couldn't Have Said It No Plainer



Yeah, That's The Life Of An Entertainer



And The Times Are So Hard To Understand



That 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 Womankind



Love Can Be Just Too Much For The Mind



Cause I've Toured The World From State To State



And Wouldn't Lay Down Tonight Without Havin A Mate



Married Girls In Tight Miniskirts



That Left They Husband Waitin At The Concert



I Don't Discriminate With Girls That I Talk To



I Take Em Mello-Yello To Chocolate Yoo-hoo



But Now I Couldn't Find The Right Girl To Fit Me



Not Even If She Walked Into My Face And Bit Me



You See It's Hard To Make A Woman Your Wife



When You've Been Humpin Married Woman The Most Of Your Life



You Better Believe That's True, Word Up



Cause If It Happened To Me, Then It Can Ha
