Troubled Man Lyrics - Prince Of Darkness - Big Daddy Kane

[singer wails for first 0: 59 of song] 

[Big Daddy Kane] 

It's hard enough for a black man tryin to make it today 

Strugglin to find the right way 

So I say, times is hard, word to God 

Recessions, depressions, the whole nine yards 

That itself makes a brother wanna break 

But bein an entertainer puts the icin on the cake 

Cause I can remember when I looked up to Kurtis Blow 

and said that's where I gotta go 

So here I am, paid in the rap trade 

But still gettin played, for my darker shade 

That's not the only P-R-O-B-L-E-M 

Man, that's just the beginnin of them 

For example, I can't walk the streets alone. 

. without bein known 

Don't get me wrong, cause deep in my heart I do love it 

But I can't even dig up my nose in public, huh 

MC Rell couldn't have said it no plainer 

Yeah, that's the life of an entertainer 

And the times are so hard to understand 

that it makes me a troubled man

[Big Daddy Kane] 

I like women, but I hate womankind 

Love can be just too much for the mind 

Cause I've toured the world from state to state 

and wouldn't lay down tonight without havin a mate 

Married girls in tight miniskirts 

that left they husband waitin at the concert 

I don't discriminate with girls that I talk to 

I take em Mello-Yello to Chocolate Yoo-hoo 

But now I couldn't find the right girl to fit me 

Not even if she walked into my face and bit me 

You see it's hard to make a woman your wife 

when you've been humpin married woman the most of your life 

You better believe that's true, word up 

cause if it happened to me, then it can happen to you 

I'm not tryin to say that a woman is scandalous 

I'm just showin you who the troubled man is

[Big Daddy Kane] 

Brothers from the past. 

. in the streets of Bed-Stuy or my? Sara J? class 

Some of them are cool, some of them at times can be a bother 

Thinkin I got jobs to give like Roy Rogers 

I try to explain I'm not on tour yet 

And they say, "You think you're all that? Yeah, I bet!" 

So when I see em on the solo tip 

I gotta throw joints to prove my point 

Just when I thought that I had the neighborhood support 

here comes another battle to be fought, huh 

You know they even tried to start a AIDS rumor 

Diggin the kind of life, that would maybe doom a 

brother of my priniciple, you'd think some of these people 

would be more sensisble, because a lie like that 

didn't bring my sex flow to an end 

Maaaaaaaan, I'm still gettin skins! 

And the beat goes on until the thrill is gone 

And life is the same old song 

And maybe one day you can understand 

What it's like to be a troubled man
