The Jokerr - Side Kick Lyrics
Hey there SwizZzle, guess who it is?It's your old pal Jokerr and I'm giving you the bizCause socio-politcally, we're never eye to eyeBut you're not a bad guy, and I consider you a friendAnd Frie-friends don't tell friends what they want to hearThey always said a good friend is a good mirrorI don't know who you have, but I'll be there for youI know it's gotta be tough(In the background)Looking at the crowd go nuts(Over that sound)And show after show, that you never headline, which how you long to doWoah, I know it's gotta be sad(In your minds eye)Seeing what you want so bad(From the sideline)Ohh poor SwizZzle, I can't even imagine, what you go through, I mean...It's gotta be, so so hardTo be a sidekick, stuck living in the shadow of a giantSo so hardWith everybody watchin' cause you know they'll never understandIt's gotta be, so so hardTo be a sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might getSo so hardWhen you're whole identity's defined by the efforts of another manIt's gotta beIt's hard on tour, knowing in your mind,If you didn't show up, the show would go along fineCause, nobody wants to hear the right hand man,You and Krizz Kaliko could probably start your own hype man bandOh sure, you could both tour, go and hit the road and everything you've hoped for could be so yoursOh man, it'd be so grand, think about performing at a whole damn show of only your fansThere'd be no Hop, no Dizzy, no DameNo half of ten percent of half the dough that the show bringedEverybody singing out your songs, buying your merch, girls wearing your shirts, screaming you're nameOoh-Ooh, think of that show, when the opening act's closed,The lights turn low, and you step on stage to that crowd dreamAnd all ten crickets in the crowd singIt's gotta be, so so hardTo be a sidekick, stuck living in the shadow of a giantSo so hardWith everybody watchin' cause you know they'll never understandIt's gotta be, so so hardTo be a sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might getSo so hardWhen you're whole identity's defined by the efforts of another manIt's gotta beIt's gotta be tough on the sidelines, watching other rappers grind, tryna' get a little something goin'When you just sit there in your room on your lazy ass, getting thousands of dollars of free promotionI couldn't help but to notice how you talk about rich folks never give enough to help the people at the bottomHey, but you sittin' gettin' your career fed to you on silver spoon of courtesy of HopsinIt's got to be hardIt's got to be hardIt's got to be hardHey there SwizZzle, what's there to do, when the whole world's moving on without poor you?While Dizzy already dropped his albumFour years and you're stilling sitting there without oneNow I hate to be the one to break it to you baby boy, but I'mma make you face a fact many may avoidYou're not as good an artist as you think you are. (As you think you are.)You don't shoot your own videos, Hop produces every beat you ever rocked, and even does your mixes, soHow much expecting to be given yo, I mean are you gonna be able to stand up and take it upon yourself to get your own?No, no, noI didn't figure so, so until you get your own fans, ***** zip it closedMy apologies, I shoudn't let it bother me, I mean after allIt's gotta be, so so hardTo be a sidekick, stuck living in the shadow of a giantSo so hardWith everybody watchin' cause you know they'll never understandIt's gotta be, so so hardTo be a sidekick, it doesn't matter how popular you might getSo so hardWhen you're whole identity's defined by the efforts of another manIt's gotta be
