Troubled Man - 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

But still gettin played, for my darker shade 
That's not the only P-R-O-B-L-E-M

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

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

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 ha
