Danja Mowf - Question

[Mowf`s Grandfather] 
I`ve never had any uhh.. 
healthy degree of respect for  rappers 
because they was rappin the wrong kind of thing.. 
or that old bad language  foul language 
I never cared for that.. bad language 
I don`t care if you make ten million dollars a day 
It ain`t worth it 
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world 
and lose his soul? Nothing 
Rap about that 
[Danja Mowf] 
Yo  just a thought but I was wondering 
What if underground were to hit, would commercial be the shit? 
A universal role-reversal -- imagine that 
Where a cipher`s too commercial and some corny rap is fat 
Would Hammer then get props, and did Ras Kass sell out? 
Your moms pumping Organized Konfusion through the house? 
St. Ide`s was a soda and they legalized the blunts 
and everybody smoked em and the President had fronts 
Would niggaz sportin afros and dreads and the braids 
switch to jheri curls, and high-top fades? 
And rappin bout the streets wasn`t cool 
The underground would pump non-violence, safe sex, stay in school 
So who? Be real, could you choose? (nah) 
When re-al-ity and commercial-ity both fuse? 
But I`ve got news check it out we`re on the way (what?) 
to making this happen everyday, so I say 
Question: Do you have to be from the hood 
in order, to know, how to rap good? 
Question: Do you have to pack a Tec-9 
Serve jail time, to learn how to rhyme? 
Question: Do you you have to be a gang banger 
or drug slanger, to be a rap singer? 
Question: Do you have to be an alcoholic 
or a drug fiend, to make green on the rap scene? 
Check it out, I was chillin in my crib 
With my hand on the dial, bout to watch a video for a while 
Freestyle rules, yes indeed 
The song`s about hustlers, smokin mad weed 
And how many gats you can tote in your coat 
And how quick you pull it, and discharge the bullet 
Are real O.G.`s, the real MC`s? 
A brother out the pen with the pen writin sin 
Can you tell me then -- if you knows why the do`s always close 
when I shows with my demos, suppose it`s the clothes (nah) 
Shoulda choose those Timbo`s 
or talked about some hoes in my flows (that`s how it goes) 
Yo it`s cool if you live that 
If I can`t relate, are my rhymes less fat? 
Cause I`m not a hustler, a gangster, a player or a G 
I`m just an MC bein me, so I ask

I don`t wanna sell my soul to go gold 
or pack a gat to umm, go plat-i-numm 
If my pockets fat then umm, let it be from how I come 
A smart intellectu-al, poet of the streets 
Recitin over beats, representin with the pen 
I don`t pack nines, but known to carry tens 
in fingers, ten funk bringers, they known to bring 
funk to a punk like a trunk full of skunk, PEE-EWW 
I see you, peek-a-boo, who 
got a weaker crew, here`s a technique or two 
Pay-Per-View nigga, for the true niggaz, not the ones 
pullin triggers but the ones whose the father figures 
WHOA, that`s a radical idea, imagine that 
But who would wanna hear 
somethin in they ear positive 
Instead of somethin glorifyin just how triflin they live, so..
