QBoy—Even The Women Like Him

¼ Life Crisis

Worry plays and lays real heavy on my mind
I worry about if this world is ever gonna be alright
If she will ever put down her glasses of wine
If he will learn to let his stubborn male pride
While I remain unsatisfied inside
About demons they pound at my door every night
I worry if I'm ever gonna be able to do it right
And if go wrong will I notice or be blind?
I try not to lie to anyone but me
Honesty plays host to my integrity
Standing near me you'll feel new energy
Accepting consequences and responsibilities
There's no key, guide, map or secret
Just look at yourself for real but don't dream it
Take those emotions now, begin to feel it
Think it, say it, do it, be it.

HOOK
This is my ¼ life crisis
I'm slowly finding
Knowledge through rhyming
Ain't about the stylin'
It's all about climbing up out of this hell
And tryna find some faith in myself

I can't remember clearly most of my younger days
My memories are blurred opaque and all fazed
Sounds and smells throw me back to times I'd forgotten
Before I had credit, pubic hair and was hip-hopin'
Childhood is all you ever knew in your life
Then you are an adult with no manual help or guide
Suddenly you hit about the age of 25
You now realise with some experiences on your side
That life ain't easy and it works much differently
It feels like it smiles at the same time it's kicking me
Struggling real hard with debt and money management
Tryna change the unchangeable factors of my environment
For so long now I've been steady fighting
When I should have been rhyming, being not trying
I feel like we're trapped in the cage we build ourselves
And why do I smoke if it's bad for my health

REPEAT HOOK

Power is given unto you so great
Tangible fantasy is what you can create
Lead a better life with only one rule
Love you. Love me. Love us. Love all
Let positivity start right here with you
It don't matter if you couldn't fit on the tube
Or if he accidentally stepped on the back of your shoe
Or when she's being unnecessarily rude
Be true to your self and work on accepting
Life is remembering not learning a lesson
These words I write mean nothing as real
As the thoughts, experiences and feelings I feel
Words are just versions of these true three
Let expectancy be your psychology
Gotta keep going don't get down and depressed
Sit there unwashed not eaten not dressed
Look at life fresh, approach new angles
Learn to be less so emotionally tangled
Get up, get out and change all into positive
You've the power to do whatever your heart may wish
Let no one tell you different, they haven't realised
That you're as grand as the sea land or sky
So very beautiful like a dew covered rose
And as special as the first day this I do know

REPEAT HOOK

Oh Yeah!
from the forthcoming album due Spring 2005

I'm making contact with you like I was Jodie Foster
To let you know it's QBoy the hottest homo-hoper
Ripping this track like paper, for you I cater
I'm serving up tunes like I was a hip-hop waiter
My fan base is real yo! Didn't you get it?
'Even The Women Like Me' and they heavily committed
The guys as well, straight or gay it's a fact
As long as I'm providing then they got my back
And with their support I strive for something else
Got media combat skills and 'PR' black belt
Plus flows that bring droves and hoards of fans
From US, Australia, UK and Japan
Croatia, Spain, France, Germany, Norway, Canada
Their people want my people to talk to their managers
Gaining crazy interest like a Swiss bank account
Everybody worldwide wanna know what I'm about

(HOOK)
Switch up your hand and say you don't care
Keep on moving till the beat ain't there,
If you feeling me then shout oh yeah!
Say what? (oh yeah!) say what? (oh yeah!)

Stimulating growth in the game like regain
Re-educating the masses music direct to the brain
Messages I'm bringing helping break down some barriers
If hate was a virus you'd no longer be a carrier
Boundaries and lines disperse on the dance floor
You loving this track - gay or not - you want more
Leave prejudices at the door relax and have fun
If you've made up your mind then get it undone
You've no real reason to dismiss diss or slate this
QBoy's rapping joy, take me off your hate list
I'm bringing positivity, I'm really a nice guy
Don't try and bring me down cause I believe in aiming high
Look I don't want your attention if I don't deserve it
That's why I stepping up my game watch me now I can work it
Beats are phatter this time round can't get no thicker
While some flows are in remission mine just keep on getting sicker

(REPEAT HOOK)

I'm very necessary like my homegirls Salt 'N' Pepa
Broadening the range 'one, two, one, two' of mic checkers
Some haters wanna step to me and criticise with small lies
But don't recognise the prize has always been in my eyes
Plus they all mouth - coz answer back and they dispel -
No good owning the trousers mate if you ain't got the belt
I'm dynamic not a gimmick - so hot I can't go wrong
Not middle of the road like cats eyes or chevrons
Funny like Kath & Kim; "Nice, different, unusual!"
Friendly, clever and hey some even say I'm beautiful
Think it's just sex I'm pushing well you're wrong
Why doncha "Check my lyrics!" like I was '3 Non Blondes'
Bringing acceptance and unity under one roof
Dance your hate away to a heavy QBoy tune
So switch ya hand relax and follow my rap
Like Madonna's teeth and ad, you just fill in the 'Gap'

(REPEAT HOOK)
