@theprofessor,
Why Can't I (Remember What I Wrote)?
featuring "The Professor" Michael Dugas
[Hook]
How come, I can't remember what I just wrote?
I jot it down as I flow
Whether in my head or in notes
It seems that every time I write a rhyme, it all goes up in smoke
I don't even got a clue as to why this is happening
Is it 'cause I rap abstract things?
It's maddening, doing my best to cram it in
It's a migraine, I'm trying in vain
to remember what I wrote
[ILLustraight]
It's time to pull that pen and pad out, and start to write it
Scribble everything down that comes from my mind
and as I rhyme it, I line it up beside the margin
in single file and make sure the lines abide by it
I write down any topic I can think of
From animals to insects, to dancing to solving jigsaws
Or talk about languages, society in limbo
Religion that's blown out of proportion like elves, dwarves and leprechauns
Rap that's dead and gone, or new children born
And how a pregnant woman can go through a menopause
Or how the unemployed people out there can't even get a job
Drug-dealers trying their best to sniff a score
How husbands and wives suffer hard times and get divorced
Mind-map them and spread them like how a spider gets across
I can write about a hundred thousand things in one single verse
But taking it all in is absurd
[Hook]
[The Professor]
Why can't I remember what I wrote?
Was it the amnesia or the coke?
Why can't I remember what I wrote?
Something bout an oddity, lobotomy, mental sodomy
Why can't I remember a thought on me?
Feels like, it's real hype and someone's robbing me of my real life
Steel mic's, savage stories
if I can remember where I left my laboratory, or my pad of glory
Can't remember what i wrote, was it a story or a quote ?
Why can't I remember what I wrote?
Was it cause I'm so horny or 'cause of the dope?
Was it a sentence of independence or a para-graffiti ?
Can't remember what I wrote, fill my pen with zen and ******* smoke
The pages, watch them go up in smoke
that I tore out my rhyme book
I can't remember but I think about what I wrote
[Hook]
[ILLustraight]
You mean to tell me that I can memorise other rhymes
from other guys but I find it hard to know my own?
Everything that I wrote, am about to write or I've just written
and not remembering any of them puts me in a dire position mentally
It's like my mind's just had a hysterectomy
And the uterus within it can't produce any more memory
But if I cast my mind back to 25 years
I could've taken in more things in a single raise of a hair
and I still can to this day
It's not the autism that affects me, **** what the doctors tell me
There are some things I gotta hate, some things I tolerate
There are some things that I can take at such a moderately high level
Something I find difficult to let go
And this is coming from a small kid from the ghetto
who has been outwitted by different chicks in stilettos
And so many other shell-suited dicks with their dildos
[Hook]
