Yo, I can hear you but listen up...while you were rapping about shit, shit was going down
while you were rapping, shit happened

Better believe that a man was murdered for protesting
while you were rapping about the different ways you like to be dressing
Woman watched her husband killed on TV
while you rapped about how freakin rich you wanna be
I mean I'm seeing more children begging then ever before
while you're rapping about your balls dripping sweat on the floor
I'm seeing drugs and liquor taking bodies and brains
while you rap about them kicks them caps and them chains
these stains on the street from all the blood still spilling
while you rap about acting like you know about killing
spitting in the face of all the old timers
these murder raps coming from juvenile rhymers
coz while you rhyme about who wrote the illest line
they were lining up the money that they make from weak minds

while you were rapping, shit happened
while you were rapping about shit, shit was going down

I see you rap in the accent of some first world nation that wipes its ass with the human rights decleration
and then you tell me that I'm being too freaking righteous
while secretly deep down you're planning to bite this
rhyming about how I should respect your wealth
i'm thinking more fire paper burn minerals melt
coz while you were rapping about your gems and everything that's glitter
I studied cats I faced a book while all the little birds just twitter

I won't be a fence sitter
I choose my team with pride so when the dark days come I'll be a brother by another's side and together we'll stand forming strength like steel
while you fantasy rap about keeping it real

while you were rapping, shit happened

transport my train of thought beyond these falling stars
while you were rapping about who's pushing what type of cars
and the you tell me that you should be free to rhyme what you like
exactly
so f**k off when I'm on the mic
if you don't like what you hear then don't lend me your ear
while you were rhyming about danger but it sounded more like fear
truth be told
while you rhyme about holding it down
I broke out I broke free see me I break new ground

while you were rapping, shit happened
while you were rapping about shit, shit was going down

I see you putting up posters for that same played out show
while kids are strapping bombs to their chests waiting for their chance to blow
and hear you flow about your flow and how you're all about the dough
I'm watching bulldozers and kids as they tear down their homes
burn those headphones banging those blinged out beats
while you were eating eMCees kids were just trying to eat
taking turns trying to rip mics and leave them all torn
I'm seeing children dying mothers crying why was I ever born standing in this fire storm
while you flashy some flashy forms of fashion that you floss with and flex from your necks coz you think it spells cheques
but check who burns next
coz when they're done with the poor
when they put them to sleep
that's when the beast is gonna turn on you f**king sheep
coz its hungry and you're looking phat like you wannabe
rhyming how you're full well some bellies are empty
so don't f**king tempt me to target these blind eyes
these naais
small fries acting like they're super sized
I'm watching flies settle on the lips where you s**t talk
while you practice your pimp walk little girls are getting stalked
by grown men f**king them for viral cures
and then you rhyme about fame like its a f**king cause
taking a turn to stand in line and be nothing but whores
like bend over stick it in show me where to sign
I'll blow my mind when I do another line
coz your lines don't do s**t
your rhymes don't do s**t
coz you rhyme like with wet lips you still couldn't spit

you're rhyming in the clouds man, while the world's down there
please don't freaking breath
you'll be wasting air

while you were rapping, shit happened
while you were rapping about shit, shit was going down
