The Questions
Audio Two Lyrics

Pins and needles, needles and pins
Feeling anxious or nervous

10, 9, 8, 7
Countdown to a moment of anger or frustration

6, 5, 4
Continuing countdown to a moment of anger or frustration

3, 2, 1
Moment of anger or frustration

Now what am I mad about?
Questioning the reason for the anger or frustration

In my particular style, I rhyme a while
Explains his rapping style and how he changes it up

Then I crack a smile, then I change again
Changing his style again and keeping things fresh

Now say, hypothetically, that I am medically
Asking a hypothetical question

Insane, then why are you still my friend?
Questioning why someone would still be friends with him if he were insane

I want an avenue far, far, away from you
Expressing his desire to distance himself from someone

But yet the audio two rehearse
Despite wanting to distance himself, the group still rehearses

You say it in front of me, try to make fun of me
Someone making fun of him

Sayin' I'm second, but who is first?
Someone questioning his ranking in comparison to others

The questions, the questions, the questions, the questions!!
Repeating the idea of questioning everything

In my particular way, I like to say, hey
Explaining his greeting style

To the people as I go by
Talking about greeting people as he walks by

If I'm actin polite and I say it alright
Explaining himself and his politeness

Then explain to me why you don't say, hi?
Asking someone why they might not say hello back

I'm livin' on a plateau, in somebody's shadow
Feeling like he's not achieving the success he wants and is being overshadowed by someone else

Yet I go on to reach my goal
Despite setbacks, he continues on to reach his goals

You robbin' and stealin', wheelin' and dealin'
Someone being dishonest and manipulative

Sayin' you straight, but who's in control?
Someone being dishonest, but claiming to be in control

Yo, I don't know what's goin' giz
Expressing confusion

I need a cup of milk
Asking for a glass of milk

Gimme a glass, a full glass!
Clarifying how much he wants

Yo, where's my girl? where is my girl?
Asking where his girl is

Come here sweetheart, I miss you!
Expressing affection towards his girlfriend

In my particular show, I say 'say ho!'
Talking about his performance style and catchphrases

You said I'm weak and wack, is that a fact
Someone insulting him by saying he's untalented

Who's clockin ducats while you're partyin?
Asking who is making more money while the other person is partying

You said you don't care about the clothes you wear
Someone taking the high road and claiming not to care about material possessions

But it's not fair because apartheid's wack
Calling out the hypocrisy of saying you don't care about clothes while ignoring the injustice of apartheid

You say milk is buggin, like milk is druggin
Someone accusing him of being irritating or a problem

Shakin your head but brother who's on the crack?
Asking who is really the one with a problem

With this particular beat, I got you movin' your feet
Talking about the music he's playing and how it's making people dance

And the heat in the room will make the devil grin
The music is good enough to make the devil happy

But wait, who paid their money, to get in?
Reminding everyone that people paid to come see them perform

You say you need a savior, with a different flavor
Someone needing help, but wanting it done in a different way

The road I'm pavin', is paved in gold
He thinks he's making great progress and paving the way for others

It's not around my neck, but mostly in my pocket
He's making money and financially successful

Compare the two images, now who is bold?
Asking someone to compare their respective success

The questions sucka the questions the questions the questions
Repeating the idea of questioning everything, in a playful way
