[Verse 1]
One out of every two people that see me
In the street ask me about my CD
And what's the delay on the release date?
I hate to tell y'all the cold, cold truth
I'm a old nigga in the vocal booth
Coulda been a legend like Big and 'Pac
But I caught a bad case of writer's block
Writer's block, for those unaware
Is a condition that's hardly rare
Often compared to a tree that bears no fruit
The inability to produce a thought
Ideas get stale, brain cells rot
Failed attempts at concentration
I'm in a state of psychological stagnation
[Hook]
You try to write it but nothing will come to you
Don't try to fight it, tell me, what's it gonna be?
Don't lose your cool, I know it's usually so easy
But now you've been caught up with writer's block
[Verse 2]
Stuck on stupid, thinking bout the new kid
On the block, as the clock keeps ticking
Time is of essence, must maintain presence
Out of sight, out of mind
Still can't find the words to explain
My joy and my pain, I'm going INSANE
Like the nigga from The Shining
Everything on the line when I'm rhymin
The only way I pay rent, I represent
The only way I eat, I rhyme to a beat
The only way I buy clothes, I rock shows
Now you can see why the problem is posed
[Hook]
You try to write it but nothing will come to you
Don't try to fight it, tell me, what's it gonna be?
Don't lose your cool, I know it's usually so easy
But now you've been caught up with writer's block
[Verse 3]
Yo It's kinda crazy when you think about it
I mean niggas get paid just to say what they think about
This that and the other. It sound easy
But, on the real, everybody sound greasy
Talk gangsta when you really ain't one
The last gat you blasted was a paint gun
Paint fictitious pictures to get richer
When you really a bitch, I ain't mad witcha
I wish I could make people believe
That I slang keys and tote D's, but I'm sorta like a fuckin' dweeb
And that don't sell
I never been shot, or been to jail
But I'm beginning to wish I had been
Just to put it down on a pad with a pen
Cause right now all I wanna do is ball with the rest of 'em
Be inducted in the hall with the best of 'em
But for now, it's just a dream
Cause I can't think of one fucking thing
[Hook]
You try to write it but nothing will come to you
Don't try to fight it, tell me, what's it gonna be?
even thought a lot of emotions are running through his brain, happy and sad, he can’t harness these feelings and put them on paper
Writer’s block is an unavoidable part of life and the best way to beat it is to not get frustrated, but instead keep your cool and push through it. Writers have traditionally been unforgiving when it comes to “writer’s block”.
Writer’s block? I’ve heard of this. This is when a writer cannot write, yes? Then that person isn’t a writer anymore. I’m sorry, but the job is getting up in the fucking morning and writing for a living.
Making fun of rappers who talk about being a gangsta and shooting glocks but really are at the paint ball arena
There is a long list of fake gangsta rappers. Number one is Rick Roazy though
After Fatlip’s hiatus, he released his 2000 undergrund hit single “What’s Up Fatlip”. It took him 5 years to release this album, leaving fans wondering about the release date.
Back when Fatlip was in The Pharcyde he had a fair chance of becoming a hip hop icon but he was kicked out. Now hes stuck on what to write on his solo album. Safe to say writers block is the reason he made this song
you try to write some shit down, express your thoughts but nothing is coming to your brain

He talks about how much idolized the legendary B.I.G. because of the money, sex, and drugs. In his career he thought he had to have the street image to successful. But the dude hasn’t even been shot, or nothing.So being true to himself he couldn’t relate to “hood” culture.
Whachagonedu (Todays your day) the 5 track on this album
Rap is often based around expressing thoughts stylistically over a beat, and it’s pretty damn crazy to think that some people have made millions simply by rapping about everyday thoughts and feelings.
Rap is his main source of income he can’t live his life comfortably without it. Maybe of the reason why he re united with The Pharcyde for their 20th year anniversary.
At 0:17 He talks about how he thought about retiring everydya but has nothing else to do except RAP. “I Might as well hold a sign up that says will rap for food”

His brain feels empty, as if it’s not able to fulfill its purpose, similar to that of a tree that cannot grow fruit or an empty bank account. The creativity he can usually harness isn’t there anymore.
Writers Block happens to 99% percent of writers of all arts. Its more common than cancer.
Most if not all fake gangsta rappers who are actually bitches, make a fake image of themselves all for monetary purposes. but he can’t get mad its all part of the business.
Hes flusterd, writers block has become common keeping stuck in a bad mental routine
